Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to

sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

 

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.¹ Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.² However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The rally followed a sharp economic decline

caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment improved in response to trillions of dollars in economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and a gradual reopening of many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

In this environment, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV, produced a double-digit return and outperformed the style-specific benchmark for the fiscal year. The leading contributor to relative results was the Fund’s overweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, which was among the best performing sectors during the fiscal year. Stock selection in the communication services and health care sectors was also a notable contributor to the Fund’s relative outperformance. Finally, the Fund’s lack of exposure to the real estate sector was a tailwind for Fund performance as well.

At the stock level, ecommerce leader Amazon.com was the foremost contributor to Fund performance on an absolute and relative basis. Early in the fiscal year, Amazon’s share price came under pressure due to higher costs to support volume strength, increasing investment related to its move to

 

one-day shipping for Prime customers and other holiday-related shipping initiatives. Subsequently, the online retail giant reported strong consecutive quarters and guidance as COVID-19 has driven significant adoption of ecommerce to accommodate social distancing measures. Additionally, Amazon.com has seen an increase in users and broadening usage in underpenetrated categories such as food and consumables.

  Microsoft was also a key absolute contributor to Fund performance during the fiscal year. The software company’s cloud-based product, Azure, continued to grow rapidly and gain market share. Microsoft was awarded the $10 billion Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract from the US Department of Defense, further strengthening its competitive position. The company’s improved margins combined with strong growth in core server tools also fueled its continued strong performance.

  Within the communication services sector, Facebook was the leading absolute contributor to Fund performance. Despite Facebook’s increased anti-trust scrutiny and some head-winds from reduced advertising budgets, the social media giant reported strong user growth, revenue and margins throughout the fiscal year. In addition, COVID-19 drove acceleration in user growth and engagement as social distancing measures required increased reliance on digital tools for socializing.

  Alternatively, stock selection in and underweight exposure to the information technology (IT) sector was the only detractor from relative Fund results compared to the style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year. This was primarily attributable to the Fund’s underweight exposure to Apple relative to the benchmark.

  The Fund’s underweight exposure to Apple resulted in it being the leading relative detractor from Fund performance compared to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year, although it was among the main contributors to Fund performance on an absolute basis. Despite geopolitical trade concerns and slowing global growth, the technology company beat lowered expectations, reported better margins and modestly raised its forward-looking guidance. The anticipation of the 2020 iPhone cycle, which is expected to include 5G capabilities, also helped push Apple’s share price higher during the fiscal year. Investors increasingly view the hardware business as a more stable, recurring revenue stream. Apple has also benefitted from flows into index instruments.

  The leading detractor on an absolute basis from Fund performance was Royal Caribbean Cruises. Despite strong bookings going into 2020, the pandemic completely shut down the cruise industry. It’s expected to recover but at a very slow pace. The industry is waiting on the CDC to grant permission to resume operations. Once the ships are operating again, there will be constraints on the number

of passengers, which will likely impact revenue to the downside. We exited our position during the fiscal year due to a potentially very slow and uncertain recovery.

Within the industrials sector, the leading absolute detractor from Fund performance during the fiscal year was Airbus. Early in the fiscal year and heading into the COVID-19 crisis, Airbus boasted an unparalleled position in aerospace with healthy demand for its core A320 family, strong competitive position and liquidity. Once COVID-19 impacted travel, nearly half of the global aircraft fleet was parked, and the remainder operated at often single-digit load factors. Airlines were forced to use excess cash and sought government assistance. Airbus was eliminated from the portfolio during the fiscal year because we believe overcapacity of commercial aircraft, combined with weak airline balance sheets, will negatively affect aircraft demand for years to come.

At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the style-specific benchmark were to the consumer discretionary, communication services and financials sectors. The Fund’s largest underweight exposures relative to the style-specific benchmark were in the IT, consumer staples and health care sectors.

At the close of the fiscal year, the rise of the coronavirus had shaken investor confidence and we believe will likely disrupt economic growth over at least the next several months. In response to this rapidly evolving situation, central banks around the world are taking action to provide economic support through monetary stimulus. We view the COVID-19 outbreak as a transitory event that has brought market volatility, but also attractive valuations for many equities as we look out beyond this event and on to its impact. We believe several of our larger themes are also well positioned for the current disruptions to social contact. In the months ahead, we expect continued volatility and aim to remain nimble and take advantage of price dislocations. We believe change is the fuel for growth. Our deep fundamental research seeks to identify “share-takers,” which are companies that can gain market share through technology-enabled advantages in their business models and with offerings that benefit from the continued disruptive shifts in consumer behavior that we expect.

Thank you for your commitment to the Invesco American Franchise Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund, Van Kampen American Franchise Fund, advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen American Franchise Fund (renamed Invesco American Franchise Fund). Returns shown above, prior to June 1, 2010, for Class A, Class C and Class Y shares are those for Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

Class R shares incepted on May 23, 2011. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares at net asset value, restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Class R shares.

Class R5 shares incepted on December 22, 2010. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

Class R6 shares incepted on September 24, 2012. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be

lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives

from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

  The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
  The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
  The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
  The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
  The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco American Franchise Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

 

17                         Invesco American Franchise Fund


Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

C.

Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending – The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

J.

Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

K.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate   

 

 

First $250 million

     0.695%  

 

 

Next $250 million

     0.670%  

 

 

Next $500 million

     0.645%  

 

 

Next $550 million

     0.620%  

 

 

Next $3.45 billion

     0.600%  

 

 

Next $250 million

     0.595%

     0.570%  

 

 

Next $2.5 billion

     0.545%  

 

 

Over $10 billion

     0.520%  

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.58%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $66,801.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A, Class C and Class R shares to reimburse IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will reimburse annual fees of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

With respect to Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the

 

19                         Invesco American Franchise Fund


shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $903,877 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $10,894 and $8,331 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund incurred $38,765 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

Level 1 –   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $3,789,375 and securities sales of $413,181, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(84,247).

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $97,353.

NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7—Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 9—Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $6,078,340,266 and $6,946,235,493, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

   $ 8,203,780,065  

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $6,392,154,014.

NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $19,185,780 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $19,185,780. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

NOTE 13—Subsequent Event

On September 25, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, approved a change in the Fund’s sub-classification under the Investment Company Act of 1940 from “diversified” to “non-diversified” and the elimination of a related fundamental investment restriction (the “Proposal”). The Proposal requires approval by the shareholders of the Fund and will be submitted to shareholders at a special meeting to be held on January 22, 2021.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco American Franchise Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco American Franchise Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco American Franchise Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate

sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment

analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s underweight and overweight exposures to certain sectors detracted from Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information

 

 

25                         Invesco American Franchise Fund


regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational

structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO         

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have

on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

 Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

 Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

 Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment

    strategy 

described in the fund’s prospectus.

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.¹ Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

  During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

  In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.² However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The rally followed a sharp economic decline caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment

            

improved in response to trillions of dollars in economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and a gradual reopening of many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

  In this environment, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV, produced a strong absolute return but underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the fiscal year. Stock selection in and underweight exposure to the information technology (IT) sector was the leading detractor from relative performance. Our underweight exposure to Apple relative to the index was a significant headwind within the IT sector during the fiscal year. Overweight exposure to and stock selection in the energy sector, which was the worst performing sector during the fiscal year, primarily due to decreasing demand and elevated supply levels, was also a detractor from Fund performance. Finally, stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was a drag on relative performance as well.

  At the individual stock level, Norwegian Cruise Line was among the leading detractors from Fund performance on a relative and absolute basis. The cruise industry was brought to a standstill due to COVID-19 following a prolonged period of healthy fundamentals. The cruise industry is expected to

  

recover at a very slow pace and will not return to operations until it is permitted to do so by the CDC with restrictions to headcount which we believe will be a headwind for revenue. We exited our position during the fiscal year due to a potentially very slow and uncertain recovery.

  Within the industrials sector, the leading detractor from Fund performance was Air-bus. Early in the fiscal year and heading into the COVID-19 crisis, Airbus boasted an unparalleled position in aerospace with healthy demand for its core A320 family, strong competitive position and liquidity. Once COVID-19 impacted travel, nearly half of the global aircraft fleet was parked, and the remainder operated at often single-digit load factors. Airlines were forced to use excess cash and sought government assistance. Airbus was eliminated from the portfolio during the fiscal year because we believe overcapacity of commercial aircraft, combined with weak airline balance sheets, will negatively affect aircraft demand for years to come.

  The Fund’s underweight exposure to Apple resulted in it being the leading relative detractor from Fund performance compared to the Russell 1000 Growth Index, although it was among the top contributors on an absolute basis. Despite geopolitical trade concerns and slowing global growth, the technology company beat lowered expectations, reported better margins and modestly raised its forward-looking guidance. The anticipation of the 2020 iPhone cycle, which is expected to include 5G capabilities, also helped push Apple’s share price higher during the fiscal year. Investors increasingly view the hardware business as a more stable, recurring revenue stream. Apple has also benefitted from flows into index-based instruments.

  Alternatively, the leading contributor to relative Fund performance versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index, included stock selection in and underweight exposure to the health care sector. Additionally, lack of exposure to the real estate sector and underweight exposure to the consumer staples sector was also a tailwind for the Fund.

  At the stock level, ecommerce leader Amazon.com was the foremost contributor to Fund performance on an absolute and relative basis. Early in the fiscal year, Amazon’s stock price came under pressure due to higher costs to support volume strength, increasing investment related to its move to one-day shipping for Prime customers and other holiday-related shipping initiatives. Subsequently, the online retail giant reported strong consecutive quarters and guidance as COVID-19 has driven significant adoption of ecommerce to accommodate social distancing measures. Additionally, Amazon.com has seen an increase in users and broadening usage in underpenetrated categories such as food and consumables.

  Microsoft was also a key absolute contributor to Fund performance during the fiscal

year. The software company’s cloud-based product, Azure, continued to grow rapidly and gain market share. Microsoft was awarded the $10 billion Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract from the US Department of Defense, further strengthening its competitive position. The company’s improved margins combined with strong growth in core server tools also fueled its continued strong performance.

  Within the communication services sector, Facebook was among the leading absolute contributors to Fund performance. Despite Facebook’s increased anti-trust scrutiny and some headwinds from reduced advertising budgets, the social media giant reported strong user growth, revenue and margins throughout the fiscal year. In addition, COVID-19 drove acceleration in user growth and engagement as social distancing measures required increased reliance on digital tools for socializing.

  At the close of the fiscal year, the rise of the coronavirus had shaken investor confidence and we believe will likely disrupt economic growth over at least the next several months. In response to this rapidly evolving situation, central banks around the world are taking action to provide economic support through monetary stimulus. We view the COVID-19 outbreak as a transitory event that has brought market volatility, but also attractive valuations for many equities as we look out beyond this event and its impact. We believe several of our larger themes are also well positioned for the current disruptions to social contact. In the months ahead we expect continued volatility and aim to remain nimble and take advantage of price dislocations. We believe change is the fuel for growth. Our deep fundamental research seeks to identify “share-takers,” which are companies that can gain market share through technology-enabled advantages in their business models and with offerings that benefit from the continued disruptive shifts in consumer behavior that we expect.

  Thank you for your commitment to the Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

    Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the

Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

16   Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund


Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund, formerly Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

 

17   Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund


Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP.

MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.

F.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

G.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

H.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

I.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

J.

Foreign Currency Translations – Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

K.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized

 

18   Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund


gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

*

The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.59%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.05%, 1.80%, 1.30%, 0.80%, 0.68% and 0.63%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $6,356 and reimbursed class level expenses of $0, $0, $0, $0, $0 and $4,159 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $399,385 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $9,101 and $6,674 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund incurred $13,174 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

    Level 1 -   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
    Level 2 -   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
    Level 3 -   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $84,714.

NOTE 5–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 6–Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 7–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

   $ 4,984,432,131  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and partnerships.

 

20   Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund


The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 8–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $1,296,942,769 and $1,740,503,504, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

   $ 2,247,351,220  

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,738,839,787.

NOTE 9–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of partnerships, master limited partnerships and net operating losses, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $63,436,004, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $74,737,118 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $11,301,114. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 11–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

21   Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund


NOTE 12–Subsequent Event

On September 25, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, approved a change in the Fund’s sub-classification under the Investment Company Act of 1940 from “diversified” to “non-diversified” and the elimination of a related fundamental investment restriction (the “Proposal”). The Proposal requires approval by the shareholders of the Fund and will be submitted to shareholders at a special meeting to be held on January 22, 2021.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Financial Highlights
For the two years ended August 31, 2020 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6. For the year ended August 31, 2020 and the period from May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) through August 31, 2019 for Class R5.

The financial statements of Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund) as of and for the year ended August 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to August 31, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 25, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

23   Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund


Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of The Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund’s (formerly, Invesco Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund) (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to

meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the

Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B. Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fourth quintile for the three year period, and the fifth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that overweight and underweight exposures to, and stock selection in, certain sectors detracted from Fund performance. The Board further noted that the Fund underwent a portfolio management team change in June 2019, and that performance results prior to such date were those of the prior portfolio management team. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the

 

 

25   Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund


expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the

month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment

strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

 

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

At the beginning of the fiscal year, despite US and China trade tensions, potential for new tariffs, and weakening global economic growth, US economic data remained supportive of slow but continued domestic economic expansion as 2019 third and fourth quarter gross domestic product (GDP) grew at approximately 2.5%.1 The US economy continued to add jobs, stabilizing the unemployment rate to 3.5% at the close of 2019, while inflation remained subdued.2 In response to third quarter economic weakness, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained accommodative policies, cutting the federal funds target rate from a range of 2.00% to 2.25% at the start of the fiscal year to a range of 1.50% to 1.75% at the close of 2019.3 Despite the UK’s general election in December, which delivered a decisive victory to the conservative party, reaffirming the original Brexit vote and the UK’s eventual exit from the European Union, macroeconomic and geopolitical issues mostly abated during the fourth quarter of 2019, providing a favorable backdrop for continued US growth.

Fixed income markets started 2020 buoyed by positive economic data and the signing of the phase one US-China trade deal. However, initial optimism was dampened by the outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) that swiftly spread from China to other global regions. Global markets fell sharply as the human and economic cost of the COVID-19 pandemic mounted. As fear of a worldwide recession increased, the Fed took aggressive action to support both the domestic and global economy by slashing rates to a range of 0.00% to 0.25%.3 The unemployment rate reached a peak of 14.7%2 while real GDP decreased at an annual rate of

31.7%1 (second estimate) in the second quarter of 2020.

Despite the continuing global spread of COVID-19, many countries achieved some success in controlling the spread and were able to slowly re-open their economies. Global equity markets benefited from government policy response to the crisis, which was swift and encouraging. Many economies received fiscal stimulus and very significant monetary stimulus. The massive monetary policy response created an environment in which investors embraced risk, and stocks rose globally after a deep rout in the first quarter. In this environment, the broader bond market, both developed and emerging, ended the fiscal year in positive territory.

The 10-year US Treasury yield continued to decline at the start of the fiscal year as the Fed adopted a more dovish stance and continued geopolitical uncertainty forced investors to seek higher quality fixed income instruments. Elevated volatility levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing global recession led to a severe “risk-off” tone in the markets driving Treasury yields even lower. The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the fiscal year at 0.68%, 82 basis points lower than at the beginning of the fiscal year.4 (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

The broader bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 6.47% for the fiscal year. Strong performance for the Fund’s broad market/style-specific benchmark was largely attributable to the sharp decline in US Treasury yields as well as a rally in spread sector assets. The four primary sectors of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index – government-related, corporate, securitized and treasury – posted positive returns for the fiscal year.

 

The Fund, at NAV, generated positive returns for the fiscal year, and outperformed its broad market/style-specific benchmark. Overweight exposure to investment grade bonds was the most notable contributor to the Fund’s relative performance. Underperformance from the securitized sector was driven by slightly wider credit spreads and weaker technicals due in part to declining overseas demand for the asset class stemming from heightened foreign currency hedging costs. Security selection in the technology and consumer cyclical sectors also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year but was slightly offset by security selection within the high yield media and high yield airlines sectors.

Overweight exposure to and security selection in commercial mortgage-backed securities, particularly conduit and single borrower issues, contributed to the Fund’s outperformance relative to its broad market/style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year. The Fund’s out-of-index exposure to US dollar-denominated emerging market (EM) corporate debt during the fiscal year also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s out-of-index exposure, such as exposure to high yield bonds, provided subtle gains despite concerns over global growth. Helping to support returns in the high yield sector and in US dollar-denominated EM corporate debt were very accommodative central bank policies.

The Fund’s allocation to cash holdings detracted from relative Fund performance, as intermediate and long duration assets rallied during the fiscal year as a result of lower Treasury rates.

The Fund benefited from incremental income earned from transactions in the highly liquid to-be-announced (TBA) market for agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Such transactions involve the Fund selling an MBS to a financial institution, with an agreement to repurchase a substantially similar security at an agreed upon price and date. Cash received by the Fund as a result of this repurchase transaction may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received from this activity, generates income for the Fund.

The Fund may use active duration and yield curve positioning for risk management and for generating excess return versus its broad market/style-specific benchmark. Duration measures a portfolio’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes. Yield curve positioning refers to actively emphasizing particular points (maturities) along the yield curve with favorable risk-return expectations. Duration of the portfolio was maintained close to that of the broad market/style-specific benchmark, on average, and the timing of changes and the degree of variance from the Fund’s broad market/style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year provided a small boost to relative

returns. Buying and selling US Treasury futures and interest rate swaptions were important tools used for the management of interest rate risk and to maintain our targeted portfolio duration.

Part of the Fund’s strategy to manage credit and currency risk in the portfolio during the fiscal year entailed purchasing and selling credit and currency derivatives. We sought to manage credit market risk by purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps at various points throughout the fiscal year. The currency management was carried out via currency forwards and options on an as-needed basis and we believe this was effective in managing the currency positioning within the Fund.

We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The risk may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are near historic lows. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

Thank you for investing in Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures pro-

viding for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of

 

implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

  The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
  The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
  The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
  The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
  The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.
 

 

This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

(a) 

Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of August 31, 2020, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets generally.

Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash

 

34                         Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund


dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending – The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

J.

Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends,

 

35                         Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund


interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

K.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

L.

Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

M.

Call Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may write call options and/or buy call options. A covered call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security or foreign currency at the stated exercise price during the option period. An uncovered call option exists without the ownership of the underlying security. Options written by the Fund normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written.

Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.

When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written covered call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written covered call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on call options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Option contracts written. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing an uncovered call option is that the Fund may incur significant losses if the value of the written security exceeds the exercise price of the option.

When the Fund buys a call option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the investment is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current value of the option purchased. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on call options purchased are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.

N.

Put Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option’s underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract.

Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.

Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund’s resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation

 

36                         Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund


(depreciation) of Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.

O.

Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/ OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/ or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any.

Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.

In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.

A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.

Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.

An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.

Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.

Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of August 31, 2020 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

P.

Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions - The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date.

The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund will segregate liquid assets in an amount equal to its dollar roll commitments.

Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on borrowings.

Q.

LIBOR Risk - The Fund may invest in instruments that use or may use a floating reference rate based on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United

 

37                         Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund


  Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As a result, any impact of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. Industry initiatives are underway to identify alternative reference rates; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. As a result, the transition process might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates; a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments; and/or costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new agreements. These effects could occur prior to the end of 2021 as the utility of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period.
R.

Other Risks - The Fund may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.

S.

Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction.

T.

Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate   

First $ 500 million

     0.450

Next $500 million

     0.425

Next $1.5 billion

     0.400

Next $2.5 billion

     0.375

Over $5 billion

     0.350

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.40%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2020, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.75%, 1.50%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 0.50% and 0.50%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on December 31, 2020. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $165,369 and reimbursed class level expenses of $875,052, $72,497, $14,392, $724,392, $3,325 and $0 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $194,115 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $21,335 and $9,038 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 –    Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $31,099,258.

NOTE 6–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $4,440.

NOTE 7–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 8–Cash Balances

The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 9–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2020 and 2019:

     2020      2019

Shares of beneficial interest

     5,116,651,217  

 

 

Total net assets

   $ 5,423,380,106  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to bond premium amortization, wash sales and derivative investments.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 10–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $9,485,283,528 and $8,542,535,044, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $6,781,276,959 and $6,675,027,020, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

   $ 172,433,500  

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $5,751,357,303.

NOTE 11–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of distributions, derivative investments, dollar rolls and bond premium amortization, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $13,890,398 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $13,890,398. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

NOTE 13–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate

sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment

analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the second quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified

 

 

45                         Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund


percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including

information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO         

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began

to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

    As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

 Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

 Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

 Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.1 Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.2 However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The rally followed a sharp economic decline

caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment improved in response to trillions of dollars in economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and reopenings in many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all of its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

In this environment, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the fiscal year. Stock selection in the information technology, health care and communication services sectors was the largest contributor to Fund performance on an absolute and relative basis. This was partially offset by a mix of stock selection in and slight overweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, followed by select underperformance by a few small holdings in the materials and energy sectors.

At the stock level, the largest contributor to Fund performance on an absolute basis was Coupa Software, which is a cloud-based provider of comprehensive business spend management software. Coupa reported a strong fiscal first quarter, beating consensus estimates for revenue and billings by mid-single digits, while profit margins showed significant expansion. We exited our position in

 

Coupa Software during the fiscal year. Demand for Coupa Pay and power apps like Risk Assess, Strategic Sourcing, Source Together and Coupa Advantage resulted in a healthy mix of net new in expansion bookings.

Teladoc Health, the second largest contributor to Fund performance, is the nation’s leading provider of remote health services. The company provides low-cost virtual physician visits to health plan members, employees and consumers. Teladoc outperformed guidance due to a series of positive catalysts, including its acquisition of InTouch, contract renewal with Aetna (not a Fund holding), stronger 2020 earnings guidance and, most notably, increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We sold our position in Teladoc Health during the fiscal year.

Freshpet provides fresh, natural food choices to help improve the lives of dogs and cats. Freshpet, another contributor to Fund performance during the fiscal year, has been a beneficiary of the trend of people adopting pets during the Covid-19 shutdown. In addition, there has been a multi-year trend for consumers to spend more on pet care. As a result, Freshpet reported second quarter 2020 results ahead of expectations, driven by both an upside in sales/revenues, as well as, margins.

The largest individual detractor from absolute Fund performance during the fiscal year,

Bright Horizons Family Solutions, is a leading provider of childcare, back-up dependent care and educational advisory services. The stock materially underperformed guidance during the fiscal year for two reasons: first due to fears of site closures stemming from the COVID-19 outbreak and then on the announcement of actual closures. We sold our position in this stock during the fiscal year.

Boot Barn Holdings, the second largest detractor from Fund performance, is the largest western and work-related lifestyle retail chain in the US. During the fiscal year, the company suffered from falling demand as a result of the coronavirus and the company’s significant presence in energy-dependent states where consumers were hard hit by falling oil prices. We sold our position in Boot Barn Holdings during the fiscal year.

Anaplan, another detractor from Fund performance, developed a cloud platform that allows business users to build and maintain strategic, operational and business planning and performance management. Anaplan shares declined significantly in the first quarter of 2020 as it reported a sharp deceleration in fourth quarter 2019 billings growth and it also announced that its chief growth officer was leaving the company. Although it had a rocky start to the year, Anaplan’s valuation has recovered from its March low but we sold our position in Anaplan during the fiscal year.

At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the

 

 

4   Invesco Discovery Fund


    

 

Russell 2000 Growth Index were in the industrials, communication services, and financials sectors. The largest underweight exposures relative to the style-specific benchmark were in the health care, real estate and materials sectors.

We believe the US economy could contract by approximately 5% in 2020, the first decline after 10 consecutive years of growth. However, we believe it also appears likely that economic activity bottomed in the spring and will turn positive in the second half of the year. Unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus, along with uneven progress in the struggle with COVID-19, could support the case for economic recovery. Meanwhile, interest rates and inflation remain very low by historical standards and growth in corporate earnings is expected to resume after a very difficult first half of the year.

Equity valuations are at the high end of their historical range by most measures but appear more reasonable in the context of the current earnings trough and very low interest rates. We believe our opportunity set of premier growth companies remains compelling and we expect stock selection to continue to drive the Fund’s relative performance.

We thank you for your continued conviction and investment in Invesco Discovery Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Discovery Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

    Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity

Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Discovery Fund, formerly Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

 

17   Invesco Discovery Fund


Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.61%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Funds.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.08%, 1.84%, 1.33%, 0.84%, 0.73% and 0.68%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an

 

18   Invesco Discovery Fund


expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $53,590.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $76,397 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $426 and $1,310 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

    Level 1 –   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
    Level 2 –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
    Level 3 –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of August 31, 2020, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $2,107,368, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(463,682).

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $32,055.

NOTE 6–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under

 

19   Invesco Discovery Fund


such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7–Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 8–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Year Ended August 31, 2020, Period Ended August 31, 2019 and the Year Ended September 30, 2018:

   $ 3,447,086,077  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 9–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $2,094,387,264 and $2,089,954,455, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

   $ 1,160,803,736  

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,331,006,644.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $4,736,463, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $12,139 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $4,724,324. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Discovery Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Discovery Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

   
Statement of Changes in Net Assets    Financial Highlights
   
For the year ended August 31, 2020 and the period October 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019.    For the year ended August 31, 2020 and the period October 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6. For the year ended August 31, 2020 and the period May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) through August 31, 2019 for Class R5.

The financial statements of Invesco Discovery Fund (formerly Oppenheimer Discovery Fund) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 21, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Discovery Fund’s (formerly, Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Fund) (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel

throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel

that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 2000® Growth Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information

 

 

25   Invesco Discovery Fund


regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information

from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that

such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Andrew Schlossberg    

  

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

 

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

LOGO

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the Fed cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.1 Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.2 However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social

unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The rally followed a sharp economic decline caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment improved in response to trillions of dollars in economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and reopenings in many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all of its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

The Fund generally invests in each common stocks represented in the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, which is an equally weighted version of the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a stock market index that includes common stocks of 500 companies in proportion to their market capitalization.

During the fiscal year, on an absolute basis, holdings in the information technology (IT), health care, industrials, consumer discretionary, materials, communication services and consumer staples sectors generated positive Fund performance. Energy, real estate, utilities and financials generated negative Fund performance.

 

The top contributor to Fund results during the fiscal year was 3D graphics processor producer NVIDIA. The company delivered strong performance during the fiscal year as it benefited from increased demand during the shut-down. Advance Micro Devices and Apple were the second and third top contributors to Fund performance. Both have benefited from the technology needed for the remote working and learning environment.

Please note that the Fund’s strategy is principally implemented through equity investments, but the Fund also may use derivative instruments, including S&P 500 futures contracts, to gain exposure to the equity market. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in S&P 500 futures contracts, which generated a positive return and added to the Fund’s absolute performance. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

Thank you for your investment in Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Index Fund.

Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

Class R6 shares incepted on September 24, 2012. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be

lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as

relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1,

2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

  The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
  The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
  The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
  The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
  The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.
 

 

This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.

The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

 

21                         Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund


Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction of the cost of the related investment. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending – The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

J.

Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk

 

22                         Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund


  and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K.

Collateral –To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate

First $2 billion

   0.120%

Over $ 2 billion

   0.100%

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.11%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and a separate sub-advisory agreement with Invesco Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $59,856.

The Adviser paid in to the Fund $100,850,807 for the economic loss as a result of a delay in rebalancing to the Index that occurred on April 24, 2020.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class C shares and Class R shares to reimburse IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will reimburse annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets, up to 1.00% of Class C average daily net assets and up to 0.50% of Class R average daily net assets. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $498,458 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $47,745 and $82,231 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $8,619.

NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7—Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 9—Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $1,740,369,799 and $3,256,035,368, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $3,677,646,297.

NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of distribution, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $8,965,541 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $8,965,541. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

NOTE 12—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and a separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory

agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated

Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the fourth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and below the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board noted that the Fund is passively managed and discussed reasons for differences in the Fund’s performance versus its peers. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

 

 

29                         Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund


The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

    Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

    As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began

to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

    Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

    The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

    As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

    Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

    As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to     strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of     changing economic and market conditions.

Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the     investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

    On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the Fed cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.1 Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

    During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

    In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.2 However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The rally followed a sharp economic decline

caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment improved in response to trillions of dollars in economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and reopenings in many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all of its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

    Eight out of eleven sectors within the Russell 1000 Value Index had positive returns for the fiscal year. The health care sector had the highest returns for the period, while the energy sector posted a double-digit loss.

    Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the information technology (IT) sector was a strong contributor to the Fund’s relative performance compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index. Within the sector, Apple and Qualcomm were the largest contributors, both benefitting from a strong rally in the sector beginning in the second quarter of 2020. Apple shares moved significantly higher as the company reopened its factory in China and demand largely recovered from March lows. Positive news about Qualcomm’s next-generation connectivity chips and positive coverage from analysts also drove the stock’s performance.

 

    The Fund’s underweight exposure to the real estate sector also helped the Fund’s relative performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index as the sector underperformed, posting a double-digit decline for the fiscal year.

    Security selection in the communication services sector was another contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year. Charter Communications reported strong revenues during the fiscal year as the company focused on adding broadband subscribers to drive future growth.

    The Fund holds investment grade bonds and convertible securities as a source of income and to provide a measure of stability amid market volatility. Both asset classes outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index during the fiscal year and benefitted the Fund’s performance relative to the index.

    Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector was the largest detractor from the Fund’s relative underperformance compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index for the fiscal year. Within the sector, Carnival and Capri Holdings were significant detractors driven in large part by the pandemic-related sell-off in February and March of 2020. Shares of Carnival declined sharply following news of Covid-19 infections on cruise ships. The industry was also hit by the suspension of cruise travel that resulted from the virus outbreak. As a result, the team eliminated the Fund’s position in the stock as they believed cruise demand would be slower to recover than other areas within the sector. Capri Holdings includes the Michael Kors, Versace, and Jimmy Choo brands. The stock declined significantly in the market correction, as consumers sheltered-in-place and stores closed amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the energy sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index. Energy stocks were negatively impacted by the severe decline in oil prices due to the concurrent increase in oil supply resulting from the Saudi Arabia/ Russia conflict, and the sharp deceleration in demand due to COVID-19. Key detractors for the fiscal year included Technip FMC, Royal Dutch Shell and Marathon Oil. The team eliminated these positions during the fiscal year and reduced the Fund’s overall exposure to the sector during the fiscal year, as the extent of volume declines due to the pandemic is difficult to estimate.

    Security selection in and underweight exposure to the consumer staples sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index. Restaurant supplier US Foods was a key detractor from Fund performance as demand declined sharply due to Covid-19-related restaurant closures. The Fund’s lack of exposure to Proctor & Gamble and Wal-Mart (not Fund holdings) also hurt performance. These companies held up relatively better than other

companies in the consumer staples sector, as they were beneficiaries of heightened consumer demand in response to pandemic-related shelter-in-place mandates.

    The Fund held currency forward contracts during the fiscal year for the purpose of hedging currency exposure of non-US-based companies held in the Fund. These derivatives were not for speculative purposes or leverage, and these positions had a small negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance for the fiscal year.

    During the fiscal year, the team reduced the Fund’s relative overweight exposures to the financials and energy sectors within the equity portion of the Fund, and increased exposures to the industrials, IT, materials and real estate sectors. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest overweight equity exposures were to the IT, financials and health care sectors, while the largest underweight exposures were to the communication services, utilities and real estate sectors.

    As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco Equity and Income Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R shares of the predecessor fund, Van Kampen Equity and Income Fund, advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Equity and Income Fund (renamed Invesco Equity and Income Fund). Returns shown above, prior to June 1, 2010, for Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

    Class R6 shares incepted on September 24, 2012. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s

administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board

and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Equity and Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash

 

24   Invesco Equity and Income Fund


 

dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction of the cost of the related investment. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

C.

Country Determination - For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions - Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses - Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending - The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

J.

Foreign Currency Translations - Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar

 

25   Invesco Equity and Income Fund


 

amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

K.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

L.

Futures Contracts - The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

M.

Collateral -To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate

First $ 150 million

   0.500%

Next $100 million

   0.450%

Next $100 million

   0.400%

Over $350 million

   0.350%

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.35%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $688,512.

 

26   Invesco Equity and Income Fund


The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A, Class C and Class R shares to reimburse IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will reimburse annual fees of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

With respect to Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,941,263 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $44,134 and $32,168 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund incurred $39,925 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

    Level 1 –   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
    Level 2 –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
    Level 3 –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

27   Invesco Equity and Income Fund


NOTE 4–Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $32,102.

NOTE 6–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7–Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 8–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2020 and 2019:

 

     2020        2019

Shares of beneficial interest

     9,855,658,622  

 

 

Total net assets

   $ 11,541,321,195  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, book to tax accretion and amortization differences and contingent payment debt instruments.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 9–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $3,421,372,932 and $3,691,192,049, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $11,898,366,884 and $12,855,203,747, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $11,240,572 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $11,240,572. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 45% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. IDI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.

NOTE 12–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Equity and Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Equity and Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

    As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate

sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

    The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

    The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment

analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

    The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broad ridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the fifth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s value style of equity investing compared to its peers, including its underweight and overweight exposures to certain sectors, as well as stock selection in certain sectors negatively impacted relative performance. The Board also noted the impact of the Fund’s fixed income component on relative performance during strong equity market rallies. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information

 

 

33   Invesco Equity and Income Fund


regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

    The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

    The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

    The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

    The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information

from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broad ridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

    The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

    The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

    The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that

such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO   

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

    Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

    As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have

on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

    Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

    The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

    As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

    Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

    As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

 Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

 Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

 Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

During the fiscal year covered by this report, the senior loan market was characterized by a sharp sell-off as the coronavirus (COVID-19) roiled capital markets. This risk-off sentiment was quickly followed by investor optimism that resulted in a similarly sharp rebound in the asset class. On a relative basis, senior loans exhibited less volatility than other leveraged credit asset classes. Senior loans returned 0.57% for the fiscal year as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.1

    COVID-19’s impact on capital markets resulted in a historically challenging first quarter of 2020. However, the initial sharp sell-off across risk assets was met by a remarkable recovery in the following months. Though unnerved by the unpredictable path of COVID-19, investors became increasingly willing to look beyond short-term disruptions for companies they expected to survive the pandemic-induced demand shock once the initial adverse reaction passed. Moreover, investors took solace in the collective policy responses of the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and Congress to mitigate the aftershocks of shutting down the economy. Themes of performance dispersion by credit rating and industry remained prevalent throughout the initial sell-off and subsequent rebound experienced by the loan market. During the fiscal year, BB-, B- and CCC-rated loans returned -0.29%, 1.86% and -6.26%, respectively.1 Food and drug was the best performing industry returning 17.33% for the fiscal year, while energy was the worst performing industry returning -16.05%.1

    Going forward we expect COVID-19 and the uncertainty associated with the virus to continue to sway capital markets. Both good news (vaccination breakthroughs) as well as

negative news (resurgence in cases) will likely impact capital markets in the near term.

    From a fundamentals standpoint, prior to COVID-19 the loan market continued to be on relatively solid footing. However, the economic shutdown as a result of the virus negatively impacted fundamentals as expected. As of August 31, 2020, the 12-month default rate was 4.08%2, exceeding the long term average of approximately 3%. Because defaults are a lagging indicator of credit stress, we expect the default rate to trend higher as a number of issuers face difficult operating conditions and over-levered balance sheets. Given these developments, support signals from policy makers at the Fed and in Congress will continue to play a significant role in market sentiment and, relatedly, the default outlook.

    The average price in the senior loan market was $92.33 as of August 31, 2020, with 2.09% of the market trading above par.1 Given the price of senior loans at the end of the fiscal year, they provided a 6.13% yield.1

    During the first quarter of 2020, CJ Holding, Sprint Communications, and CSC Holdings contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. CJ Holding and Sprint Communications were sold later in the fiscal year. Meanwhile, Fieldwood Energy, Crown Finance US and Seadrill Operating detracted from relative returns. During the second quarter of 2020, Dell International, McDermott Technology and Monitronics International all contributed to Fund performance, while Samson Investment Company, Forgital and Fieldwood Energy all detracted from performance.

    In managing the Fund, we seek to take advantage of market opportunities by decreasing risk in the Fund when we believe senior loans are overbought and increasing risk when we believe they are oversold. We seek to efficiently allocate risk within the portfolio

 

in an effort to maximize risk-adjusted returns through five different considerations consisting of credit selection, sector migration, risk positioning, asset selection and trading.

    During the fiscal year, the Fund’s allocation to recent primary deals, broadly speaking, also contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. Through August 2020, the Fund’s credit positioning was a contributor to relative performance, as the Fund has maintained an overweight allocation to higher quality assets, compared to that of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.

    The senior loan asset class behaves differently from many traditional fixed income investments. The interest income generated by a portfolio of senior loans is usually determined by a fixed credit spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). Because senior loans generally have a very short duration and the coupons, or interest rates, are usually adjusted every 30 to 90 days as Libor changes, the yield on the portfolio adjusts. Interest rate risk refers to the tendency for traditional fixed income prices to decline when interest rates rise. For senior loans, however, interest rates and income are variable, and the prices of loans are therefore less sensitive to interest rate changes than traditional fixed income bonds. As a result, senior loans can provide a natural hedge against rising interest rates.

    We are monitoring interest rates, the market and economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and other central banks. The risk may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are near historic lows. If interest rates rise or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments and the market price of the Fund’s shares. We are also monitoring the impact of the discontinuation and replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) on the Fund and its investments. Please see the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information.

    As always, we appreciate your continued participation in Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 2.50% sales charge and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior

  representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

 

 

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements, including the terms of the Fund’s credit facility, the financial health of the institution providing the credit facility and the fact that the credit facility is shared among multiple funds. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board

 

and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

 

 

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

 

 

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Committee had established an HLIM for the Fund and the Fund complied with its HLIM.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a) 

Principal amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

(b) 

Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.

(c) 

Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.

(d) 

Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3.

(e) 

All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. Interest rate will be determined at the time of funding. See Note 8.

(f)

This variable rate interest will settle after August 31, 2020, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

(g) 

All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities.

(h) 

The borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.

(i) 

Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $8,597,770, which represented less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(j) 

Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $182,817,591, which represented 11.77% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(k) 

Acquired through the restructuring of senior loans.

(l) 

Non-income producing security.

(m) 

Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2020.

(n) 

Affiliated issuer. The issuer and/or the Fund is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., or is affiliated by having an investment adviser that is under common control of Invesco Ltd. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund, formally Invesco Floating Rate Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price.

Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Other income is comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when received. Amendment fees are received in return for changes in the terms of the loan or note.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees – Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining the credit agreement.

H.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

J.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.

K.

Foreign Currency Translations – Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized

 

35                     Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund


foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

L.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

M.

Industry Focus – To the extent that the Fund invests a greater amount of its assets in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad.

N.

Bank Loan Risk – Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

O.

LIBOR Risk - The Fund may invest in instruments that use or may use a floating reference rate based on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As a result, any impact of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. Industry initiatives are underway to identify alternative reference rates; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. As a result, the transition process might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates; a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments; and/or costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new agreements. These effects could occur prior to the end of 2021 as the utility of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period.

P.

Other Risks - The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured debt securities that are determined to be rated below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments.

The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.

Because the Fund evaluates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors to assess and exclude certain investments for non-financial reasons, it may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these factors. The securities of companies that score favorably under the Fund’s ESG scoring methodology may underperform similar companies that do not score as well or may underperform the stock market as a whole. As a result, the Fund may underperform funds that do not screen or score companies based on ESG factors or funds that use a different ESG methodology. Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to apply its methodology, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Fund’s assessment of a company, based on the company’s level of involvement in a particular industry or the company’s ESG score, may differ from that of other funds or an investor. As a result, the companies deemed eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio may not reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor and may not be deemed to exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics if different metrics were used to evaluate them.

Q.

Leverage Risk – The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the common shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments purchased with such leverage proceeds, the higher volatility of the NAV of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the common shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate

First $500 million

   0.650%

Next $4.5 billion

   0.600%

Next $5 billion

   0.575%

Over $10 billion

   0.550%

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.61%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.00%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $114,834.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.

Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $41,863 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $35,291 and $9,068 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

    Level 1 –   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
    Level 2 –   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
    Level 3 –   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

 

37                     Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund


The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended August 31, 2020, there were transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 of $21,903,636, due to third-party vendor quotations utilizing more than one market quote and from Level 2 to Level 3 of $29,378,418, due to third party vendor quotations utilizing single market quotes.

Securities classified as Level 3 whose unadjusted values were provided by a pricing service and for which such inputs are unobservable. The Adviser periodically reviews pricing vendor methodologies and inputs to confirm they are determined using unobservable inputs and have been appropriately classified. Such securities’ fair valuations could change significantly based on changes in unobservable inputs used by the pricing service.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $2,211.

NOTE 6–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred

compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7–Cash Balances

Effective February 21, 2020, the Fund entered into a syndicated credit facility, arranged by SSB and BNP Paribas Corp., which enables the Fund to participate with certain other Funds in a committed secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings up to $1.5 billion, collectively by certain Funds, and which will expire on February 19, 2021. The syndicated credit facility is secured by the assets of the Fund. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund did not draw on the syndicated credit facility.

Prior to February 21, 2020, the Fund participated in a revolving line of credit agreement with SSB in which the Fund could borrow up to the lesser of (1) $475,000,000 or (2) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings.

Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

The Fund is subject to certain covenants relating to the syndicated credit facility. Failure to comply with these restrictions could cause the acceleration of the repayment of the amount outstanding under the syndicated credit facility.

NOTE 8–Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of August 31, 2020, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements with the following borrowers:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, foreign currency contracts and amortization differences.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020, as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward*  

 

 
Expiration    Short-Term      Long-Term      Total  

 

 

Not subject to expiration

   $ 21,235,977      $ 176,470,657      $ 197,706,634  

 

 

 

*

Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

NOTE 10–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $954,582,304 and $1,455,592,142, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,677,698,144.

NOTE 11–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of return of capital, foreign currency transactions and bond amortization, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $13,314,391, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $4,112,248 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $9,202,143. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12–Senior Loan Participation Commitments

The Fund invests in participations, assignments, or acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Senior Loan interest to corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, but not with the borrower directly. As such, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower.

At the year ended August 31, 2020, the following sets forth the selling participants with respect to interest in Senior Loans purchased by the Fund on a participation basis.

NOTE 14–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund’s (formerly, Invesco Floating Rate Fund) (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also

discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.

As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the third quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that overall credit selection and certain of the Fund’s equity positions negatively impacted the Fund’s performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was the same as the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees were in the fourth

 

 

45                     Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund


quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual management fees.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services

Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have

on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

§  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

§  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

§  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

§  

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

The fiscal year began with a relatively benign backdrop for global equities with equity risk appetite strengthening into the last four months of 2019 as evidenced by consecutive months of higher stock prices and muted levels of volatility. Underpinning this backdrop were positive, albeit subdued expectations, for continued global economic growth benefitting developed and emerging market economies alike. The global geopolitical environment remained volatile especially with Brexit no nearer to an outcome, continued rioting from Hong Kong citizens, and contentious negotiations between the US and China in terms of coming to a trade deal.

The relative calm that existed at the end of 2019 quickly evaporated in the first quarter of 2020 as the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in China started to spread across the world. Asian economies were first to feel the negative impact from the virus with tourism to the region restricted followed by a sharp decline in domestic consumption due to social distancing and stay-at-home rules. This formula soon spread to the US and Europe leading to large declines in GDP across the globe. Government and central banks responded quickly by injecting fiscal and monetary policy measures to support domestic economies that were experiencing dramatic declines in equity market values along with rises in unemployment, infections, and deaths.

The combination of global central bank stimulus and a relaxing of stay-at-home/social distancing policies contributed to a rebound in the prices of risk assets in the months leading to the close of the fiscal year. In addition, positive changes in economic indicators occurred in some regions leading to a more constructive outlook. That said, the fiscal year ended with massive income and fiscal support measures remaining in place in key economies

while discretionary spending trends were modest. We believe that true unemployment levels will likely remain hidden as the virus has led to the acceleration of structural changes that will negatively impact a variety of industries.

Global real estate investment trusts (REITs) underperformed broad market global equity indices during the fiscal year as investors recalibrated their outlook on real estate fundamentals given the temporary and possibly long-term impacts of COVID-19 on a variety of property types. Many companies responded to these impacts by withdrawing earnings guidance and/or dividends in response to lower rental growth rates and increased vacancies, which we believe should return in varying degrees as the recovery evolves. On a sector basis, demand for retail real estate remains very challenging and has resulted in declining trends in long term rental rates and occupancy. Lodging appears cyclically challenged, but probably not long term structurally impaired. we believe that office markets are also likely to see some cyclical weakness in occupancy and rent. The prospects for structural change in working habits are unclear, but we beleive that well designed, modern office stock will likely continue to form the base for commercial working activity. On the other hand, we beleive that property types benefitting from structural changes in technology such as warehouses, data centers, and cell towers could outperform going forward as well as sectors that are relatively immune to technological innovation such as residential real estate.

We evaluate securities for the Fund based primarily on the relative attractiveness of income with a secondary consideration for the potential for capital appreciation. The qualified investment universe includes global public real estate equity and debt securities, including common stock, preferred securities, corporate debt and commercial mortgage-

 

 

backed securities (CMBS). When constructing the portfolio, we first set a strategic equity versus debt asset allocation and then apply a fundamentals-driven investment process in an effort to identify securities with certain characteristics including: attractive relative yields, favorable property market outlook and attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.

Overall, global listed real estate securities were down approximately -14.00% during the fiscal year as measured by the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Developed Index. The Fund’s largest positive contributors on an absolute basis during the fiscal year were real estate preferred securities and cash which generated modest positive returns. Common stocks, corporate debt, and CMBS detracted from Fund performance. Relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, overweight exposure to preferreds, corporate debt and CMBS contributed to relative outperformance along with strong stock selection within common equities.

On a country basis, relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, underweight exposure to France and Australia contributed to relative outperformance as did a modest allocation to cash. Additionally, strong security selection in Hong Kong, Spain, and the UK helped drive relative returns. In contrast, underweight exposure to Germany and security selection in Canada detracted from relative performance during the fiscal year.

Top individual absolute contributors to the Fund’s performance during the fiscal year included Vonovia and Prologis. Vonovia owns a portfolio of German, Austrian and Swedish apartments. The relatively stable underlying income in its portfolio of properties was attractive during such a volatile economic period. Prologis is an owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate across the globe and has benefitted from relatively stable cash flow and long-term structural growth within the industrial real estate sector.

Top individual detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance included Boston Properties and a CMBS position that was sold at a loss as the Fund was reducing its exposure to the CMBS asset class in April 2020. Boston Properties owns and develops office properties across the US. The company’s shares underperformed during the fiscal year as concerns over the impact of COVID-19 on urban office assets stemming from reduced demand and increased rent relief weighed negatively on share prices.

The Fund has the flexibility to invest across equities and fixed income securities on a global basis, in an effort to take advantage of market dislocations driven by capital market influences rather than underlying commercial real estate fundamentals. We believe the Fund’s ability to invest in both real estate equity and fixed income is particularly beneficial in today’s volatile market environment and

 

 

4                                 Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund


can add value throughout the real estate cycle.

We believe that the Fund’s fixed income allocation may have the potential to help reduce overall volatility compared to an all equity real estate portfolio.

The equity portion of the portfolio seeks to maintain a bias toward companies with higher quality assets, supply constrained real estate market exposure, generally lower-leveraged balance sheets and better governance characteristics. We may also seek to source opportunities where the sharp decline in REIT share prices in the short term appears to have overly punished companies. Occasionally this may result in a relative decline in the portfolio’s normal earnings growth spread versus the style-specific benchmark in favor of a more attractive valuation-based ratios. We believe the unpredictable macro and geopolitical environments suggest caution in taking active factor, country and currency exposures. As such, risk is most likely to be allocated to specific stock opportunities where there is a belief that attractive relative value exists. Within the broader investment market context, we believe that cash flow security, discounted valuations relative to underlying assets and the tangible asset nature of real estate appear to offer relative attraction to a diversified investor. On this basis, we view listed real estate as offering fair to attractive relative return opportunities at present, as part of a wider investment portfolio allocation.

We thank you for your continued investment in the Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund.

On March 12, 2007, the Fund reorganized from a Closed-End Fund to an Open-End Fund. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Closed-End Fund’s Common shares and includes the fees applicable to Common shares.

Class R6 shares incepted on September 24, 2012. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions (reinvested at net asset value, except for periods prior to March 12, 2007 where reinvestments were made at the lower of the Closed-End Fund’s net asset value or market price), changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6

shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Fund performance was positively impacted by a temporary 2% fee on redemptions that was in effect from March 12, 2007 to March 12, 2008. Without income from this temporary fee, returns would have been lower.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant

dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market

conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

§   The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
§   The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
§   The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
§   The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
§   The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.
 

 

 

This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.

The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash

 

17                                 Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund


  dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction of the cost of the related investment. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions - Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Foreign Currency Translations – Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

J.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement

 

18                                 Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund


based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

K.

Other Risks - The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly.

Because the Fund concentrates its assets in the real estate industry, an investment in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural or technological developments.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate  

First $ 250 million

     0.750%  

Next $250 million

     0.740%  

Next $500 million

     0.730%  

Next $1.5 billion

     0.720%  

Next $2.5 billion

     0.710%  

Next $2.5 billion

     0.700%  

Next $2.5 billion

     0.690%  

Over $10 billion

     0.680%  

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.74%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the ”expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual fund operating expenses and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $30,704.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans for Class A shares, reimburses IDI at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares pusuant to the Plans for Class C shares, compensates IDI at a rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $15,361 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $242 and $2,076 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1      Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2      Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3      Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $953.

NOTE 5–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 6–Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

Shares of beneficial interest

        710,736,967  

 

 

Total net assets

      $ 662,142,756  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 8–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $493,268,469 and $472,497,980, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

 

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis  

 

 

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments

   $ 62,457,559  

 

 

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments

     (45,840,242

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation of investments

   $ 16,617,317  

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $642,094,447.

NOTE 9–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $10,007,915, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $9,905,330 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $102,585. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 11–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd.

(collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate

sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment

analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Limited currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco Global Real Estate Income Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and/or investment restrictions and those of its performance peer funds and specifically that many of the peer funds are all equity funds while the Fund has a fixed income component. The Board noted that the Fund’s exposure to real estate fixed income securities detracted from relative performance and considered this in the context of the Fund’s stated objective which includes a current income component. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any

 

 

25                                 Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund


applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and

noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of

advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

   Dear Shareholders:
   Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.
  

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

 

Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

 

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the Fed cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.1 Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.2 However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The rally followed a sharp economic decline

caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment improved in response to trillions of dollars in economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and reopenings in many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all of its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

Eight out of eleven sectors within the Russell 1000 Value Index had positive returns for the fiscal year. The health care sector had the highest returns for the period, while the energy sector posted a double-digit loss.

Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector was the largest detractor from the Fund’s relative underperformance compared to the Russell 100 Value Index for the fiscal year. Within the sector, Carnival and Capri Holdings were significant detractors, driven in large party by the pandemic-related sell-off in February and March of 2020. Shares of Carnival declined sharply following news of Covid-19 infections on cruise ships. The industry was also hit by the suspension of cruise travel that resulted from the virus outbreak. As a result, the team eliminated the Fund’s position in the stock as they believed cruise demand would be slower to recover than other areas within the sector. Capri

 

 

Holdings includes the Michael Kors, Versace, and Jimmy Choo brands. The stock declined significantly in the market correction, as consumers sheltered-in-place and stores closed amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the energy sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index during the fiscal year. Energy stocks were negatively impacted by the severe decline in oil prices due to the concurrent increase in oil supply resulting from the Saudi Arabia/ Russia conflict, and the sharp deceleration in demand due to COVID-19. Key detractors for the fiscal year included Technip FMC, Royal Dutch Shell and Marathon Oil. The team eliminated these positions during the fiscal year and reduced the Fund’s overall exposure to the sector during the period, as the extent of volume declines due to the pandemic is difficult to estimate.

    Security selection in and underweight exposure to the consumer staples sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index. Restaurant supplier US Foods was a key detractor from Fund performance as demand declined sharply due to Covid-19-related restaurant closures. The Fund’s lack of exposure to Proctor & Gamble and Wal-Mart (not Fund holdings) also hurt performance. These companies held up relatively better than other companies in the consumer staples sector as they were beneficiaries of heightened consumer demand in response to pandemic-related shelter-in-place mandates.

    Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the information technology (IT) sector was the largest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance compared to the Russell 1000 Value Index. Within the sector, Apple and Qualcomm were the largest contributors, both benefitting from a strong rally in the sector beginning in the second quarter of 2020. Apple shares moved significantly higher as the company reopened its factory in China and demand largely recovered from March lows. Positive news about Qualcomm’s next-generation connectivity chips and positive coverage from analysts also drove the stock’s performance.

    The Fund’s underweight exposure to the real estate sector also helped the Fund’s relative performance versus the Russell 1000 Value Index as the sector underperformed, posting a double-digit decline for the fiscal year.

    Security selection in the communication services sector was another contributor to the Fund’s performance during the fiscal year. Charter Communications reported strong revenues during the year as the company focused on adding broadband subscribers to drive future growth.

    The Fund held currency forward contracts during the fiscal year for the purpose of hedging currency exposure of non-US-based companies held in the Fund. These derivatives

were not for speculative purposes or leverage, and these positions had a small negative impact on the Fund’s relative performance for the fiscal year.

During the fiscal year, the team reduced the Fund’s relative overweight exposures to the financials and energy sectors, and increased exposures to the industrials, IT, materials and real estate sectors. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest overweight exposures were to the IT, financials and health care sectors, while the largest underweight exposures were to the communication services, utilities and real estate sectors.

As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco Growth and Income Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class C, Class R and Class I shares of the predecessor fund, Van Kampen Growth and Income Fund, advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Growth and Income Fund (renamed Invesco Growth and Income Fund). Returns shown above, prior to June 1, 2010, for Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

Class R6 shares incepted on September 24, 2012. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior rep-

resentatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

  The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
  The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
  The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
  The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
  The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements.Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

 

17                              Invesco Growth and Income Fund


Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

C.

Country Determination - For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions - Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses - Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending - The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

J.

Foreign Currency Translations - Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

K.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate  

First $150 million

     0.500

Next $100 million

     0.450

Next $100 million

     0.400

Over $350 million

     0.350

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.36%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $203,170.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A, Class C and Class R shares to reimburse IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will reimburse annual fees of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

With respect to Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $249,264 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $12,469 and $2,393 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund incurred $34,369 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3-Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

Level 1

 

–  Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2

 

–  Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3

 

–  Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

NOTE 4-Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $9,820.

NOTE 6–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7–Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

NOTE 8–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2020 and 2019:

      2020      2019  

Ordinary income*

   $ 130,363,598      $ 144,724,735

   $ 576,370,253      $ 883,770,217  

 

*   Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any.

     

 

21                          Invesco Growth and Income Fund


Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:

     2020  

 

 
Undistributed ordinary income    $ 29,090,653  

 

 
Undistributed long-term capital gain      85,131,016  

 

 
Net unrealized appreciation – investments      738,013,726  

 

 
Net unrealized appreciation - foreign currencies      208,489  

 

 
Temporary book/tax differences      (647,621

 

 
Shares of beneficial interest      3,925,628,886  

 

 
Total net assets    $ 4,777,425,149  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and forward contracts.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 9–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $1,428,291,912 and $2,725,148,135, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

 

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis  

 

 
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments    $ 1,104,933,623  

 

 
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments      (366,919,897

 

 
Net unrealized appreciation of investments    $ 738,013,726  

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $4,046,398,663.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of redemptions in-kind and foreign currency transactions, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $4,596,008, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $6,802,284 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $2,206,276. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a)

There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 39% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.

NOTE 12–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Growth and Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

2 

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Growth and Income Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate

sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment

analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the fifth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that the Fund’s valuation focused style of investing, including its overweight and underweight exposures to and stock selection in certain sectors, negatively impacted performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information

 

 

26                              Invesco Growth and Income Fund


regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E. Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information

from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that

such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have

on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

    Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

    The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

    As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

    Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

    As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

  Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

    On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the Fed cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.1 Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

    During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

    In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.2 However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The

rally followed a sharp economic decline caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment improved in response to trillions of dollars in economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and re-openings in many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all of its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

    The Fund, by design, exhibited a lower volatility level during the fiscal year than its style-specific benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index. The Fund seeks to create a diversified portfolio with a volatility target between a minimum variance portfolio and the style-specific benchmark. The portfolio utilizes both a multi-factor model and a proprietary risk model to build intended exposures to factors that historically have driven excess returns (Quality, Value and Momentum). Both models systematically evaluate fundamental and behavioral factors to rank securities based on their exposure to these factors and to rank attractiveness relative to industry peers subject to intended risk targets.

    During the fiscal year, overall factor performance detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific bench-

 

mark. Value factors were the largest detractor as investors appeared to reward future growth prospects over metrics such as cashflow and earnings yield. Several sharp reversals in market sentiment also led to weakness in Price Momentum for the period. Historically, these factors are inversely correlated and provide diversification benefits. Quality exposures were positive contributors especially during the market downdraft in March but did not offset the weakness from Value and Price Momentum. Earnings Momentum was flat while a lower exposure to Growth and Size also detracted from relative returns.

    From a sector perspective, the information technology (IT), consumer staples, consumer discretionary, health care, communications services, real estate, financials and utilities sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year, while the energy, industrials and materials sectors contributed to relative Fund performance. The Fund ended the fiscal year with overweight allocations to the consumer staples, health care, energy, consumer discretionary and communications services and underweight allocations to the IT, industrials, financials, utilities, real estate and materials sectors relative to the style-specific benchmark.

    Top performers relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark included Target, eBay, Electronic Arts and Xerox. Target’s sales held up well as customers appear to be looking for one-stop shopping alternatives to shopping malls. The company benefitted from online orders with drive-up pickup. Similarly, eBay’s shares have benefitted from increased sales as stay at home restrictions increased online traffic as well as led to an increase in online sellers. Electronic Arts, the maker of video games, beat sales and earnings estimates. Lastly, shares of Xerox rose in the fourth quarter of 2019 as it made a takeover bid for rival HP. (Held in the portfolio). The shares were sold in December and were recently reintroduced into the Fund.

    The largest detractors from the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark for the fiscal year were due to underweight positions in select technology and technology-related stocks. Apple, Amazon (not a Fund holding), Microsoft and Tesla (not a Fund holding) outperformed the style-specific benchmark especially after the market rebounded from its March 2020 lows. The Fund’s underweight exposure to these stocks was due to relatively lower factor scores, as well as, the higher volatility exhibited by some of these stocks.

    Please note that the Fund’s strategy is principally implemented through equity investments, but the Fund also may use derivative instruments, including S&P 500 futures contracts, to gain exposure to the equity market. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in S&P 500 futures contracts, which delivered a

positive absolute return for the Fund. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Investor Class,

Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior

representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

  The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
  The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
  The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
  The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
  The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

16   Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund


Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is income and long-term growth of capital.

The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y and Investor Class shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash

 

17                         Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund


dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending – The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

J.

Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain

 

18   Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund


(loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

K.

Other Risks – Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.

L.

Collateral – To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate  

First $ 250 million

     0.600

Next $250 million

     0.575

Next $500 million

     0.550

Next $1.5 billion

     0.525

Next $2.5 billion

     0.500

Next $2.5 billion

     0.475

Next $2.5 billion

     0.450

Over $10 billion

     0.425

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.60%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 2.00%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $4,918.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares, 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $7,791 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $55 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily

 

19                         Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund


available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

    Level 1 -   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
    Level 2 -   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
    Level 3 -   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $3,985.

NOTE 6–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7–Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

Total net assets

   $ 191,628,052  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to futures contracts and wash sales.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020, as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward*  

 

 
Expiration    Short-Term    Long-Term    Total            

 

 

Not subject to expiration

   $26,384,781    $965,023    $ 27,349,804  

 

 

 

*

Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of fair fund settlements and foreign currency, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $2,314 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $2,314. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings (loss) of the Fund.

NOTE 12–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

 

22   Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund


The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

    

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate

sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment

analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell 1000® Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the valuation and price momentum components of the Fund’s multi-factor model investment process detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the

 

 

26   Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund


Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by

the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO   

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on

February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package - the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns - millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 - the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment

strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

 

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

During the fiscal year covered by this report, the senior loan market was characterized by a sharp sell-off as the coronavirus (COVID-19) roiled capital markets. This risk-off sentiment was quickly followed by investor optimism that resulted in a similarly sharp rebound in the asset class. On a relative basis, senior loans exhibited less volatility than other leveraged credit asset classes. Senior loans returned 0.57% for the fiscal year as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.1

COVID-19’s impact on capital markets resulted in a historically challenging first quarter of 2020. However, the initial sharp sell-off across risk assets was met by a remarkable recovery in the following months. Though unnerved by the unpredictable path of COVID-19, investors became increasingly willing to look beyond short-term disruptions for companies they expected to survive the pandemic-induced demand shock once the initial adverse reaction passed. Moreover, investors took solace in the collective policy responses of the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and Congress to mitigate the aftershocks of shutting down the economy. Themes of performance dispersion by credit rating and industry remained prevalent throughout the initial sell-off and subsequent rebound experienced by the loan market. During the fiscal year, BB-, B- and CCC-rated loans returned -0.29%, 1.86% and -6.26%, respectively.1 Food and drug was the best performing industry returning 17.33% for the fiscal year, while energy was the worst performing industry returning -16.05%.1

Going forward we expect COVID-19 and the uncertainty associated with the virus to continue to sway capital markets. Both good news (vaccination breakthroughs) as well as negative news (resurgence in cases) will likely impact capital markets in the near term.

From a fundamentals standpoint, prior to COVID-19 the loan market continued to be on relatively solid footing. However, the economic shutdown as a result of the virus negatively impacted fundamentals as expected. As of August 31, 2020, the 12-month default rate was 4.08%2, exceeding the long term average of approximately 3%. Because defaults are a lagging indicator of credit stress,

we expect the default rate to trend higher as a number of issuers face difficult operating conditions and over-levered balance sheets. Given these developments, support signals from policy makers at the Fed and in Congress will continue to play a significant role in market sentiment and, relatedly, the default outlook.

The average price in the senior loan market was $92.33 as of August 31, 2020, with 2.09% of the market trading above par.1 Given the price of senior loans at the end of the fiscal year, they provided a 6.13% yield1

During the first quarter of 2020, Sprint Communications, Monarchy Enterprises Holdings, B.V. and Securus Technologies contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. These positions were later sold during the fiscal year. Meanwhile, Arch Coal, Murray Energy and iHeartCommunications detracted from relative returns. During the second quarter of 2020, Avaya, Aretec Group and Riverbed Technology all contributed to Fund performance, while Murray Energy, Town Sports International and Fusion Connect all detracted from performance. We subsequently sold Town Sports International before the close of the fiscal year.

In managing the Fund, we seek to take advantage of market opportunities by decreasing risk in the Fund when we believe senior loans are overbought and increasing risk when we believe they are oversold. We seek to efficiently allocate risk within the portfolio in an effort to maximize risk-adjusted returns through five different considerations consisting of credit selection, sector migration, risk positioning, asset selection and trading.

During the fiscal year, the Fund’s allocation to recent primary deals, broadly speaking, also contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the JP Morgan Leveraged Loan Index.

The senior loan asset class behaves differently from many traditional fixed income investments. The interest income generated by a portfolio of senior loans is usually determined by a fixed credit spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). Because senior loans generally have a very short duration and the coupons, or interest rates, are usually adjusted every 30 to 90 days as Libor changes, the yield on the portfolio adjusts. Interest rate risk refers to the tendency for

 

traditional fixed income prices to decline when interest rates rise. For senior loans, however, interest rates and income are variable, and the prices of loans are therefore less sensitive to interest rate changes than traditional fixed income bonds. As a result, senior loans can provide a natural hedge against rising interest rates.

    We are monitoring interest rates, the market and economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and other central banks. The risk may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are near historic lows. If interest rates rise or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments and the market price of the Fund’s shares. We are also monitoring the impact of the discontinuation and replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) on the Fund and its investments. Please see the Notes to Financial Statements for more information.

    As always, we appreciate your continued participation in Invesco Master Loan Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A shares of the Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund LLC, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class R6 shares of the Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Class R6 shares are those for Class A shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently

than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements, including the terms of the Fund’s credit facility, the financial health of the institution providing the credit facility and the fact that the credit facility is shared among multiple funds. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public

basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation

of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

  The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
  The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
  The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
  The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
  The Committee had established an HLIM for the Fund and the Fund complied with its HLIM.
 

 

 

This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

20                              Invesco Master Loan Fund


Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a) 

Principal amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

(b) 

Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.

(c) 

Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.

(d) 

Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3.

(e) 

This variable rate interest will settle after August 31, 2020, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

(f) 

All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities.

(g) 

Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $4,551,527, which represented 2.54% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(h) 

The borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.

(i) 

All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. Interest rate will be determined at the time of funding. See Note 6.

(j) 

Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $8,573,454, which represented 4.78% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(k) 

Securities acquired through the restructuring of senior loans.

(l) 

Non-income producing security.

(m) 

Foreign denominated security. Principal amount is denominated in the currency indicated.

(n)

Affiliated issuer. The issuer and/or the Fund is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., or is affiliated by having an investment adviser that is under common control of Invesco Ltd. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Master Loan Fund, formerly Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income.

Shares of the Fund are sold only to other investment companies. The Fund currently offers Class R6 shares. Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund qualifies as a partnership, and each investor in the Fund is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Fund. Accordingly, as a “pass-through” entity, the Fund pays no dividends or capital gain distributions.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price.

Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash

 

26                              Invesco Master Loan Fund


dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund, as an entity, will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Fund will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, and not as an association taxable as a corporation. Therefore, a tax provision is not required. Each shareholder is required for U.S. federal income tax purposes to take into account, in its taxable year with which (or within which a taxable year of the Fund ends), it distributive share of all items of Fund income, gains, losses and deduction for such taxable year of the Fund. A shareholder must take such items into account even if the Fund does not distribute cash or other property to such shareholder during its taxable year.

Although the Fund is treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes, it is intended that the Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that investment in the Fund would not cause an investor that is a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code to fail that qualification.

F.

Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees – Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining the credit agreement.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.

J.

Foreign Currency Translations – Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.

K.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk.

The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.

A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and

 

27                              Invesco Master Loan Fund


reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

L.

Industry Focus – To the extent that the Fund invests a greater amount of its assets in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad.

M.

Bank Loan Risk – Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

N.

LIBOR Risk – The Fund may invest in instruments that use or may use a floating reference rate based on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As a result, any impact of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. Industry initiatives are underway to identify alternative reference rates; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. As a result, the transition process might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates; a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments; and/or costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new agreements. These effects could occur prior to the end of 2021 as the utility of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period.

O.

Other Risks – The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured debt securities that are determined to be rated below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments.

The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.

The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.

P.

Leverage Risk – The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the common shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments purchased with such leverage proceeds, the higher volatility of the NAV of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the common shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an annual fee of 0.30% based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, 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) to 0.38% of average daily net assets (the “expense limit”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limit or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $19,291.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.

Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services.

IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are officers and directors of the Adviser and IIS.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended August 31, 2020, there were transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 of fixed income securities of $988,985, due to third-party vendor quotations utilizing more than one market quote, and of equity securities of $53,365, due to availability of market data for these securities. Also, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 of $2,621,462, due to third party vendor quotations utilizing single market quotes.

(a) 

The Fund fair values certain corporate loans using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and leverage to determine an implied rating. The yield to maturity on other issues with similar leverage and rating is used as a basis for the discount rate, with an additional illiquidity premium applied. The illiquidity premium was determined based on the implied discount rate at origination. The Adviser periodically reviews the financial statements and monitors such

 

29                              Invesco Master Loan Fund


  investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant a re-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. Such security’s fair valuation could increase (decrease) significantly based on a decrease (increase) in the illiquidity premium. Such security’s fair valuation could also increase (decrease) based on an increase (decrease) in the implied rating or a decrease (increase) in the yield to maturity on other issues.
(b) 

The Fund fair values certain common equity securities using an enterprise value approach, which utilizes a multiple of the company’s last 12 months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, which is then adjusted for outstanding debt and cash on hand. The Adviser periodically reviews the financial statements and monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant a re-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and OfficersFees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 5—Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Fund has entered into a $1.5 billion credit agreement, which enables the Fund to participate with certain other Funds in a committed secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings up to $1.5 billion, collectively by certain Funds, and which will expire on February 19, 2021. The credit agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement.

Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

The Fund is subject to certain covenants relating to the credit agreement. Failure to comply with these restrictions could cause the acceleration of the repayment of the amount outstanding under the credit agreement.

NOTE 6—Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of August 31, 2020, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements with the following borrowers:

NOTE 7—Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $207,738,700 and $636,781,150, respectively.

NOTE 8—Senior Loan Participation Commitments

The Fund invests in participations, assignments, or acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Senior Loan interest to corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, but not with the borrower directly. As such, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower.

At the year ended August 31, 2020, the following sets forth the selling participants with respect to interest in Senior Loans purchased by the Fund on a participation basis.

NOTE 11—Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Master Loan Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Master Loan Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Statement of Changes in Net Assets    Financial Highlights
For the year ended August 31, 2020 and the period October 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019.    For the year ended August 31, 2020 and the period October 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019 for Class R6.

The financial statements of Invesco Master Loan Fund (formerly Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 21, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Master Loan Fund’s (formerly, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel

throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel

that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index. The Board noted that performance of Class R6 shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class R6 shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that credit selection, specifically holdings of certain loans, negatively impacted Fund performance. The Board also noted that the Fund currently is not sold directly to retail shareholders, but rather is only available for purchase by other Invesco funds or pooled vehicles. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class R6 shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group

 

 

34                              Invesco Master Loan Fund


information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints, but does share in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such

methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO   

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

    Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

    As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have

on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.
    Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.
    The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.
    As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.
    Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

    As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

  Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

    On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

Macroeconomic issues that concerned investors in the third quarter of 2019 mostly abated during the fourth quarter, providing the backdrop for strong equity market returns. During its September and October meetings, the Fed cut interest rates by 0.25% each time, based on business investment and exports remaining weak.1 Investors were also encouraged by a resilient US economy and corporate earnings, putting the US equity market on track for its largest annual rise since 2013.

    During the first quarter of 2020, as the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupted travel and suppressed consumer activity, investors became increasingly concerned about the global economy. At the same time, oil prices fell sharply as a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia threatened to boost supply even as demand was falling. Beginning in late February, equity markets declined sharply and quickly, ushering in the first bear market since the financial crisis of 2008. Though the equity market stabilized somewhat toward the end of March, all sectors declined during the downturn. In response to the major collapse in demand and to help facilitate liquidity, the Fed cut interest rates two times in March by 0.50% and 1.00%, ending with a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%.1

    In April, US unemployment numbers continued to climb and the initial gross domestic product (GDP) estimates for the first quarter of 2020 saw the economy shrink by 5%, the sharpest drop since the 2008 financial crisis.2 However, during the second and into the third quarter of 2020, US stocks largely shrugged off economic uncertainty, social unrest and a resurgence in coronavirus infections to rally from the market bottom. The rally followed a sharp economic decline caused by global shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19. Investor sentiment improved in response to trillions of dollars in

economic stimulus, progress on a coronavirus vaccine and reopenings in many US regions. After oil futures contracts turned negative in early April, oil prices doubled in June, which supported struggling energy companies and millions of energy sector employees. In July, the Fed extended its emergency stimulus programs, originally scheduled to end in September, to year-end, which provided support to equities. Additionally, optimism about a vaccine, and better than anticipated US economic data and corporate earnings also boosted stocks. Most economists believe the US economy hit a low in April; however, in late August revised second quarter GDP fell by 31.7%, a record decline.2 Despite the extreme drop in the economy, the S&P 500 Index not only erased all of its losses from the first quarter but ended the fiscal year with record highs.

    Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund invests in stocks in approximately the same proportion as they are represented in the S&P 500 Index.

    During the fiscal year, the information technology (IT), consumer discretionary, health care, communication services, consumer staples, materials and industrials sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s overall performance. Market sectors delivering negative overall returns for the Fund included energy, financials, real estate and utilities.

    Leading contributors to the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year included Apple, Amazon.com, Microsoft and Facebook. Microsoft and Amazon repeatedly delivered strong earnings and increased revenue growth during the fiscal year.

    Top detractors from the Fund’s performance for the fiscal year were Boeing and Exxon Mobil. The stocks’ negative returns associated with the lack of travel during the pandemic led to the underperformance. Other detractors included Wells Fargo and Chevron.

    Please note that the Fund’s strategy is principally implemented through equity invest-

 

 

ments, but the Fund also may use derivative instruments, including S&P 500 futures contracts, to gain exposure to the equity market. During the fiscal year, the Fund invested in S&P 500 futures contracts, which generated a positive return and were a slight contributor to Fund performance. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

    Thank you for your investment in Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund, Morgan Stanley S&P 500 Index Fund, advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund. Returns shown above, prior to June 1, 2010, for Class A, Class C and Class Y shares are those for Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

    Class R6 shares incepted on April 4, 2017. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed con-

ditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

  The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;
  The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;
  The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;
  The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and
  The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.
 

 

 

This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.

20   Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund


Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.

The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

 

21   Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund


Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Lending – The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

J.

Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

K.

Collateral To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate  

First $2 billion

     0.120

Over $2 billion

     0.100

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.12%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limit.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $35,597.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will reimburse IDI for distribution related expenses that IDI incurs up to a maximum of the following annual rates: (1) Class A – up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; and (2) Class C – up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $213,508 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $38,019 and $49,135 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

    Level 1 -   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
    Level 2 -   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
    Level 3 -   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $5,005.

NOTE 6–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7–Cash Balances

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund

 

24   Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund


may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

     733,411,335  

Total net assets

     $1,711,882,454  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and futures contracts.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020.

NOTE 9–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $73,056,680 and $31,209,481, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $752,319,862.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of return of capital, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $66,161, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $65 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $66,226. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate

sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment

analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B. Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the S&P 500® Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and below the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board noted that the Fund is passively managed and discussed reasons for differences in the Fund’s performance versus its peers and the Index. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was in the fourth quintile of its

 

 

29   Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund


expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative total expenses.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E. Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was advised that such trades are executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO         

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have

on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package - the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns - millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 - the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

  Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

  Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

  Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the

 investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

 

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

During the fiscal year covered by this report, the senior loan market was characterized by a sharp sell-off as the coronavirus (COVID-19) roiled capital markets. This risk-off sentiment was quickly followed by investor optimism that resulted in a similarly sharp rebound in the asset class. On a relative basis, senior loans exhibited less volatility than other leveraged credit asset classes. Senior loans returned 0.57% for the fiscal year as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.1

COVID-19’s impact on capital markets resulted in a historically challenging first quarter of 2020. However, the initial sharp sell-off across risk assets was met by a remarkable recovery in the following months. Though unnerved by the unpredictable path of COVID-19, investors became increasingly willing to look beyond short-term disruptions for companies they expected to survive the pandemic-induced demand shock once the initial adverse reaction passed. Moreover, investors took solace in the collective policy responses of the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and Congress to mitigate the aftershocks of shutting down the economy. Themes of performance dispersion by credit rating and industry remained prevalent throughout the initial sell-off and subsequent rebound experienced by the loan market. During the fiscal year BB-, B- and CCC-rated loans returned -0.29%, 1.86% and -6.26%, respectively.1 Food and drug was the best performing industry returning 17.33% for the fiscal year, while energy was the worst performing industry returning -16.05%.1

Going forward we expect COVID-19 and the uncertainty associated with the virus to continue to sway capital markets. Both good news (vaccination breakthroughs) as well as negative news (resurgence in cases) will likely impact capital markets in the near term.

From a fundamentals standpoint, prior to COVID-19 the loan market continued to be on relatively solid footing. However, the economic shutdown as a result of the virus negatively impacted fundamentals as expected. As of August 31, 2020, the 12-month default rate was 4.08%2, exceeding the long term average of approximately 3%. Because defaults are a lagging indicator of credit stress, we expect the default rate to trend higher as a number of issuers face difficult operating conditions and over-levered balance sheets. Given these developments, support signals from policy makers at the Fed and in Congress will continue to play a significant role in market sentiment and, relatedly, the default outlook.

The average price in the senior loan market was $92.33 as of August 31, 2020, with 2.09% of the market trading above par.1 Given the price of senior loans at the end of the fiscal year, they provided a 6.13% yield.1

During the first quarter of 2020, Sprint Communications, Monarchy Enterprises Holdings, B.V. and Securus Technologies contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. These positions were later sold during the fiscal year. Meanwhile, Arch Resources, Murray Energy and iHeartCommunications detracted from relative returns. During the second quarter of 2020, Avaya, Aretec Group and iHeartCommunications all contributed to Fund performance, while Murray Energy, Town Sports International and Fieldwood Energy all detracted from performance. We subsequently sold Town Sports International before the close of the fiscal year.

In managing the Fund, we seek to take advantage of market opportunities by decreasing risk in the Fund when we believe senior loans are overbought and increasing risk when we believe they are oversold. We seek to efficiently allocate risk within the portfolio in an effort to maximize risk-adjusted returns through five different considerations consisting

 

of credit selection, sector migration, risk positioning, asset selection and trading.

 During the fiscal year, the Fund’s allocation to recent primary deals, broadly speaking, also contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the JP Morgan Leveraged Loan Index.

 The senior loan asset class behaves differently from many traditional fixed income investments. The interest income generated by a portfolio of senior loans is usually determined by a fixed credit spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). Because senior loans generally have a very short duration and the coupons, or interest rates, are usually adjusted every 30 to 90 days as Libor changes, the yield on the portfolio adjusts. Interest rate risk refers to the tendency for traditional fixed income prices to decline when interest rates rise. For senior loans, however, interest rates and income are variable, and the prices of loans are therefore less sensitive to interest rate changes than traditional fixed income bonds. As a result, senior loans can provide a natural hedge against rising interest rates.

 We are monitoring interest rates, the market and economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and other central banks. The risk may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are near historic lows. If interest rates rise or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments and the market price of the Fund’s shares. We are also monitoring the impact of the discontinuation and replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) on the Fund and its investments. Please see the Notes to Financial Statements for more information.

 As always, we appreciate your continued participation in Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund.

fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 3.25% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

About indexes used in this report

 

The Custom Invesco Senior Floating Rate Index is composed of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index through September 30, 2014, and the JP Morgan Leveraged Loan Index from October 1, 2014 to present. The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index represents tradable, senior-secured, US-dollar-denominated, noninvestment-grade loans.

The JP Morgan Leveraged Loan Index tracks the performance of US dollar-denominated senior floating rate bank loans.

The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es).

A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

 

 

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives

from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements, including the terms of the Fund’s credit facility, the financial health of the institution providing the credit facility and the fact that the credit facility is shared among multiple funds. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s

holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Committee had established an HLIM for the Fund and the Fund complied with its HLIM.

22   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund


Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a) 

Principal amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

(b) 

Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.

(c) 

Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.

(d) 

This variable rate interest will settle after August 31, 2020, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

(e) 

Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3.

(f) 

All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities.

(g) 

Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $97,238,199, which represented 2.35% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(h) 

The borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.

(i) 

All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. Interest rate will be determined at the time of funding. See Note 7.

(j) 

Affiliated issuer. The issuer is affiliated by having an investment adviser that is under common control of Invesco Ltd. and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), defines “affiliated person” to include an issuer of which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.

(a) 

Calculated using average shares outstanding.

(b) 

Assumes an initial investment on the business day before the first day of the fiscal period, with all dividends and distributions reinvested in additional shares on the reinvestment date, and redemption at the net asset value calculated on the last business day of the fiscal period. Sales charges are not reflected in the total returns. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one full year. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

(c) 

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Because the underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary. Estimated underlying fund expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the underlying funds and are deducted from the value of the funds the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that the Fund bears indirectly is included in the Fund’s total return. Estimated acquired fund fees from underlying funds were 0.00%, 0.00%, 0.01%, 0.01% and 0.00% for the one month ended August 31, 2019 and the years ended July 31, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(d) 

Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable.

(e) 

Ratios are based on average daily net assets (000’s omitted) of $2,017,969, $1,108,145, $71,849, $2,756,559, $9 and $511,218 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

28   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund


Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund (the “Fund”), formerly Invesco Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price.

Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearing house.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Other income is comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when received. Amendment fees are received in return for changes in the terms of the loan or note.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.

C.

Country Determination - For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions - Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders.

Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses - Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis - The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.

J.

Industry Focus - To the extent that the Fund invests a greater amount of its assets in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad.

K.

Bank Loan Risk - Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

L.

LIBOR Risk - The Fund may invest in instruments that use or may use a floating reference rate based on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United

 

30   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund


Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As a result, any impact of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. Industry initiatives are underway to identify alternative reference rates; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. As a result, the transition process might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates; a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments; and/or costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new agreements. These effects could occur prior to the end of 2021 as the utility of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period.

M.

Other Risks - The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured debt securities that are determined to be rated below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments.

The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.

The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.

N.

Leverage Risk - The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the common shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments purchased with such leverage proceeds, the higher volatility of the NAV of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the common shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets*    Rate  

Up to $200 million

     0.750

Next $200 million

     0.720

*

The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.60%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.00%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 0.75%, 0.69% and 0.64%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expenses on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $254,763 and reimbursed class level expenses of $599,920, $346,709, $23,204, $819,185, $0 and $117,232 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.

Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.

 

31   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund


The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $59,524 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $56,826 and $80,416 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 - Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 - Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 - Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended August 31, 2020, there were transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 of fixed income securities of $26,998,446, due to third-party vendor quotations utilizing more than one market quote, and of equity securities of $8,470,810, due to availability of market data for these securities. Also, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 of $45,040,804, due to third party vendor quotations utilizing single market quotes.

(a) 

The Fund fair values certain corporate loans using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and leverage to determine an implied rating. The yield to maturity on other issues with similar leverage and rating is used as a basis for the discount rate, with an additional illiquidity premium applied. The illiquidity premium was determined based on the implied discount rate at origination. The Adviser periodically reviews the financial statements and monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant a re-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. Such security’s fair valuation could increase (decrease) significantly based on a decrease (increase) in the illiquidity premium. Such security’s fair valuation could also increase (decrease) based on an increase (decrease) in the implied rating or a decrease (increase) in the yield to maturity on other issues.

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $23,003.

NOTE 5–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 6–Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Fund has entered into a $1.5 billion credit agreement, which enables the Fund to participate with certain other Funds in a committed secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings up to $1.5 billion, collectively by certain Funds, and which will expire on February 19, 2021. The credit agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund. During the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund did not borrow under the credit agreement.

Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

The Fund is subject to certain covenants relating to the credit agreement. Failure to comply with these restrictions could cause the acceleration of the repayment of the amount outstanding under the credit agreement.

Shares of beneficial interest

     6,854,790,075  

 

 

Total net assets

   $ 4,144,848,559  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and pay in kind.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020, as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward*  

 

 
Expiration    Short-Term      Long-Term      Total  

 

 

Not subject to expiration

   $ 131,622,839      $ 1,697,927,204      $ 1,829,550,043  

 

 

 

*

Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

NOTE 9–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $3,196,852,328 and $7,964,933,293, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

   $ (886,791,054

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $5,234,851,204.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of grantor trust, pay in kind and defaulted bonds, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $5,348,660 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $5,348,660. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings (loss) of the Fund.

NOTE 11–Senior Loan Participation Commitments

The Fund invests in participations, assignments, or acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Senior Loan interest to corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, but not with the borrower directly. As such, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower.

At the year ended August 31, 2020, the following sets forth the selling participants with respect to interest in Senior Loans purchased by the Fund on a participation basis.

NOTE 14–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Statement of Changes in Net Assets    Financial Highlights
For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period August 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 and the year ended July 31, 2019.   

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period August 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and the year ended July 31, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period August 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and the period May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) through July 31, 2019 for Class R5.

The financial statements of Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund (formerly Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund) as of and for the year ended July 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to July 31, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 26, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

2 

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund’s (formerly, Invesco Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund) (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to

meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the

Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the J.P Morgan Leveraged Loan Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that credit selection, specifically holdings of certain loans, negatively impacted the Fund’s performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional

 

 

39   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund


information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expense ratio were in the fourth, fourth and fifth quintile, respectively, of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual and contractual management fees and total expenses.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the

profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any

securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO          

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

    Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

    As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns.

Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

    Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

    The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

    As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

    Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

    As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

 Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

 Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

 Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

    We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

    I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

    On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

During the fiscal year covered by this report, the senior loan market was characterized by a sharp sell-off as the coronavirus (COVID-19) roiled capital markets. This risk-off sentiment was quickly followed by investor optimism that resulted in a similarly sharp rebound in the asset class. On a relative basis, senior loans exhibited less volatility than other leveraged credit asset classes. Senior loans returned 0.57% for the fiscal year as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.1

    COVID-19’s impact on capital markets resulted in a historically challenging first quarter of 2020. However, the initial sharp sell-off across risk assets was met by a remarkable recovery in the following months. Though unnerved by the unpredictable path of COVID-19, investors became increasingly willing to look beyond short-term disruptions for companies they expected to survive the pandemic-induced demand shock once the initial adverse reaction passed. Moreover, investors took solace in the collective policy responses of the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) and Congress to mitigate the aftershocks of shutting down the economy. Themes of performance dispersion by credit rating and industry remained prevalent throughout the initial sell-off and subsequent rebound experienced by the loan market. During the fiscal year BB-, B- and CCC-rated loans † returned -0.29%, 1.86% and -6.26%, respectively.1 Food and drug was the best performing industry returning 17.33% for the fiscal year, while energy was the worst performing industry returning -16.05%.1

    Going forward we expect COVID-19 and the uncertainty associated with the virus to continue to sway capital markets. Both good news (vaccination breakthroughs) as well as negative news (resurgence in cases) will likely impact capital markets in the near term.

    From a fundamentals standpoint, prior to COVID-19 the loan market continued to be on relatively solid footing. However, the economic shutdown as a result of the virus negatively impacted fundamentals as expected. As of August 31, 2020, the 12-month default rate was 4.08%2, exceeding the long term average of approximately 3%. Because defaults are a lagging indicator of credit stress, we expect the default rate to trend higher as a number of issuers face difficult operating conditions and over-levered balance sheets. Given these developments, support signals from policy makers at the Fed and in Congress will continue to play a significant role in market sentiment and, relatedly, the default outlook.

    The average price in the senior loan market was $92.33 as of August 31, 2020, with 2.09% of the market trading above par.1 Given the price of senior loans at the end of the fiscal year, they provided a 6.13% yield.1

    During the first quarter of 2020, Sprint Communications, Monarchy Enterprises Holdings, B.V. and Securus Technologies contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. These positions were later sold during the fiscal year. Meanwhile, Arch Resources,

Murray Energy and iHeartCommunications detracted from relative returns. During the second quarter of 2020, Avaya, Aretec Group and iHeartCommunications all contributed to Fund performance, while Murray Energy, Town Sports International and Fieldwood Energy all detracted from performance. We subsequently sold Town Sports International before the close of the fiscal year.

    In managing the Fund, we seek to take advantage of market opportunities by decreasing risk in the Fund when we believe senior loans are overbought and increasing risk when we believe they are oversold. We seek to efficiently allocate risk within the portfolio in an effort to maximize risk-adjusted returns through five different considerations consisting

 

of credit selection, sector migration, risk positioning, asset selection and trading.

    During the fiscal year, the Fund’s allocation to recent primary deals, broadly speaking, also contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the JP Morgan Leveraged Loan Index.

    The senior loan asset class behaves differently from many traditional fixed income investments. The interest income generated by a portfolio of senior loans is usually determined by a fixed credit spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). Because senior loans generally have a very short duration and the coupons, or interest rates, are usually adjusted every 30 to 90 days as Libor changes, the yield on the portfolio adjusts. Interest rate risk refers to the tendency for traditional fixed income prices to decline when interest rates rise. For senior loans, however, interest rates and income are variable, and the prices of loans are therefore less sensitive to interest rate changes than traditional fixed income bonds. As a result, senior loans can provide a natural hedge against rising interest rates.

    We are monitoring interest rates, the market and economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and other central banks. The risk may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are near historic lows. If interest rates rise or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments and the market price of the Fund’s shares. We are also monitoring the impact of the discontinuation and replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) on the Fund and its investments. Please see the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information.

    As always, we appreciate your continued participation in Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppeheimer Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

    Class R shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Class R shares.

    Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on

Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class A share performance reflects the maximum 3.25% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives

from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements, including the terms of the Fund’s credit facility and the financial health of the institution providing the credit facility. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid

Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Committee had established an HLIM for the Fund and the Fund complied with its HLIM.

A credit rating is an assessment provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) of the creditworthiness of an issuer with respect to debt obligations, including specific securities, money market instruments or other debts. Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest); ratings are subject to change without notice. “Non-Rated” indicates the debtor was not rated, and should not be interpreted as indicating low quality.

21   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund


Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a)

Principal amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

(b)

Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years.

(c)

Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.

(d)

Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3.

(e)

This variable rate interest will settle after August 31, 2020, at which time the interest rate will be determined.

(f)

All or a portion of this security is Pay-in-Kind. Pay-in-Kind securities pay interest income in the form of securities.

(g)

Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $833,915, which represented 2.15% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(h)

All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. Interest rate will be determined at the time of funding. See Note 7.

(i)

The borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.

(j)

Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $2,424,866, which represented 6.25% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(k)

Securities acquired through the restructuring of senior loans.

(l)

Non-income producing security.

(m)

Foreign denominated security. Principal amount is denominated in the currency indicated.

(n)

Affiliated issuer. The issuer and/or the Fund is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., or is affiliated by having an investment adviser that is under common control of Invesco Ltd. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.

26   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund


Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund, formerly Invesco Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income.

The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price.

Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and the asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Other income is comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when received. Amendment fees are received in return for changes in the terms of the loan or note.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

H.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

I.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.

J.

Industry Focus To the extent that the Fund invests a greater amount of its assets in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad.

K.

Bank Loan Risk Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

L.

LIBOR Risk – The Fund may invest in instruments that use or may use a floating reference rate based on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United

 

28   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund


 

Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As a result, any impact of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. Industry initiatives are underway to identify alternative reference rates; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. As a result, the transition process might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates; a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments; and/or costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new agreements. These effects could occur prior to the end of 2021 as the utility of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period.

M.

Other Risks – The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured debt securities that are determined to be rated below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments.

The Fund invests in corporate loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a corporate loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the corporate loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.

The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.

N.

Leverage Risk – The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by borrowing. There are risks associated with borrowing in an effort to increase the yield and distributions on the common shares, including that the costs of the financial leverage may exceed the income from investments purchased with such leverage proceeds, the higher volatility of the NAV of the shares, and that fluctuations in the interest rates on the borrowing may affect the yield and distributions to the common shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s leverage strategy will be successful.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets*    Rate  

 

 

Up to $200 million

     0.800

 

 

Next $200 million

     0.770

 

 

Next $200 million

     0.740

     0.710

 

 

Next $4.2 billion

     0.650

 

 

Over $5 billion

     0.630

 

 

 

*

The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.79%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.10%, 2.00%, 1.35%, 0.85%, 0.88% and 0.83%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.

Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2022, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,258 and reimbursed class level expenses of $174,951, $50,100, $84, $146,214, $56 and $2,550 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to

 

29   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund


intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $0 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $39 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended August 31, 2020, there were transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 of fixed income securities of $0, due to third-party vendor quotations utilizing more than one market quote, and of equity securities of $0, due to availability of market data for these securities. Also, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 of $309,657, due to third party vendor quotations utilizing single market quotes.

   $ 606,619        Discounted Cash Flow Model      Implied Rating      N/A        B+  (a)  

 

 

 

(a) 

The Fund fair values certain corporate loans using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and leverage to determine an implied rating. The yield to maturity on other issues with similar leverage and rating is used as a basis for the discount rate, with an additional illiquidity premium applied. The illiquidity premium was determined based on the implied discount rate at origination. The Adviser periodically reviews the financial statements and monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant a re-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. Such security’s fair valuation could increase (decrease) significantly based on a decrease (increase) in the illiquidity premium. Such security’s fair valuation could also increase (decrease) based on an increase (decrease) in the implied rating or a decrease (increase) in the yield to maturity on other issues.

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $774.

NOTE 5–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 6–Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Fund has entered into a $50 million loan and security agreement, which will expire on September 16, 2021. The Loan and Security Agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund.

During the year ended August 31, 2020, the average daily balance of borrowing under the loan and security agreement was $6,390,244 with a weighted interest rate of 3.51%. The carrying amount of the Fund’s payable for borrowings as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. Expenses under the loan and security agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Interest, facilities and maintenance fees. At August 31, 2020, the fund had no borrowings outstanding under this agreement.

Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

The Fund is subject to certain covenants relating to the loan and security agreement. Failure to comply with these restrictions could cause the acceleration of the repayment of the amount outstanding under the loan and security agreement.

NOTE 7–Unfunded Loan Commitments

As of August 31, 2020, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements with the following borrowers:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, pay in kind and additional expense cap waiver.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020, as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward*         

 

 
Expiration         Short-Term      Long-Term      Total  

 

 

Not subject to expiration

        $1,448,457      $ 10,164,436      $ 11,612,893  

 

 

 

*

Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

NOTE 9–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $40,935,863 and $72,028,931, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

   $ (6,630,371

 

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $46,634,998.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of grantor trust, foreign currency gain/(loss) and defaulted bonds, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $28,522 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $28,522. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings (loss) of the Fund.

NOTE 11–Senior Loan Participation Commitments

The Fund invests in participations, assignments, or acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Senior Loan interest to corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, but not with the borrower directly. As such, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower.

At the year ended August 31, 2020, the following sets forth the selling participants with respect to interest in Senior Loans purchased by the Fund on a participation basis.

NOTE 14–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Statement of Changes in Net Assets    Financial Highlights
For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period August 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 and the year ended July 31, 2019.    For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period August 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and the year ended July 31, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period August 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and the period May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) through July 31, 2019 for Class R and Class R5.

The financial statements of Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund (formerly Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund) as of and for the year ended July 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to July 31, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 26, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund’s (formerly, Invesco Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund) (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to

meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the

Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board noted that credit selection, specifically holdings of certain loans, negatively impacted the Fund’s performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional

 

 

36   Invesco Senior Floating Rate Plus Fund


information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expense ratio were each in the fourth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual and contractual management fees and total expenses.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/ waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2019.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in

providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO         

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would have

on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

 Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

 Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

 Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment

strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

The broad municipal bond market experienced positive returns for the sixth consecutive year in 2019, with investment grade and high-yield municipals among the best performing asset classes. However, in an unexpected twist, performance turned negative in March 2020 as the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic pierced the markets and forced society to navigate unchartered waters for the balance of the fiscal year.

Investment grade municipal bonds returned 3.24%, high yield municipal bonds returned 0.96%, and taxable municipal bonds returned 6.02% during the fiscal year.1

The fiscal year began with heightened demand for perceived safe-haven assets, including municipal bonds, due to economic uncertainty. However, developments in the fourth quarter of 2019 led investors to favor riskier investments as many of the perceived major threats looming over markets subsided. The US and China reached a phase one trade deal, Congress settled on a funding “deal in principle” eliminating the risk of a government shutdown, and the somewhat unexpected UK election results set the stage for an orderly exit from the European Union by January 31, 2020.

During the middle of the fiscal year, there was an unexpected major market shift as the global spread of COVID-19 ignited macroeconomic concerns. Significant equity market sell-offs incited a flight to quality that caused a strong municipal rally in February 2020. In March, however, a flight to cash caused extreme volatility and price declines across the municipal market.

Municipal funds averaged about $10 billion per week in outflows during March.2 Total fund outflows were $21 billion for the first quarter, with the majority in the high-yield segment.2 High-yield municipal funds generally

hold anywhere from 30% to 60% of their portfolios in investment grade securities. As a result, funds had been selling both high-yield and investment grade securities into a distressed market to meet shareholder redemptions. This led to price declines across the municipal universe.

Continued uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and its economic effects caused other major dislocations in the marketplace, including US Treasuries. Near the end of March, 10-year AAA-rated municipals traded at yields that were roughly 370% of the yield on comparable maturity US Treasuries – well above the historical norm of approximately 90%.3

The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut the federal funds rate four times over the fiscal year. The first two cuts in September and October 2019 were small, a quarter of a percentage point each. The last two were more significant as they were made during unscheduled emergency meetings in March 2020 in response to COVID-19, consisting of a half of a percentage and whole percentage point leaving the target range at 0.00% to 0.25%.4

Investors continued to sell municipal bonds in April amid disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in May and June, performance improved despite ongoing market turmoil. As April began, many states maintained quarantines with indeterminate timelines for closures of non-essential businesses.

New issuance totaled $473 billion for the fiscal year, up 33% from the previous fiscal year’s $355 billion.5 Taxable municipals played a significant role in this increase with more than $135 billion of this total being issued into the taxable market.6 This uptick is a result of recent changes in tax laws. Municipalities are no longer able to refinance existing debt with new tax-exempt debt, thus an uptrend in taxable municipal issuance.

 

Thus far, federal assistance to the municipal market has included the Fed’s plan to purchase up to $500 billion in short-term municipal bonds to relieve pressure on short-term paper. Additionally, the Municipal Liquidity Facility (MLF) enables select large borrowers - two issuers per state, city or county are eligible - to use proceeds from the sale of notes to service their debt payments. Specific sectors such as airlines, transportation and hospitals have also received federal funding. We believe that these stimulus packages and those in other market segments are likely to push taxes higher. Because municipal bonds are one of a few income sources not subject to federal taxes, their income should be more attractive if taxes rise.

Municipal credits have a long history of low default rates as many provide essential services to all Americans. Most municipal issuers were in strong financial shape heading into the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite speculation, a flurry of downgrades has not yet occurred, mainly because most issuers have a rainy-day fund or cash on hand for difficult times. Though there could be small, isolated pockets of defaults in the future, we generally believe the majority of municipal bonds in the municipal market will stay current on principal and interest, as history has shown.

At the close of the fiscal year, it is impossible to predict when the coronavirus pandemic will abate or how significant market volatility will be surrounding the upcoming 2020 US presidential election, however, we continue to rely on our seasoned credit research staff to take advantage of marketplace dislocations to add value during these times of uncertainty.

During the fiscal year, security selection in appropriation and hospitals aided the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. Security selection in higher coupon bonds (6.50%+) also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. At the state level, holdings in Washington, D.C. and California also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. Security selection in dedicated tax and lifecare bonds detracted from the Fund’s relative performance over the fiscal year. On a state level, holdings in Ohio detracted from the Fund’s relative return.

During the fiscal year, leverage contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. The Fund achieved a leveraged position through the use of inverse floating rate securities. The Fund uses leverage because we believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for shareholders. However, the use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility.

We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The risk may be greater in the current market environment

because interest rates are near historic lows. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s

administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board

and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

 

(a) 

Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $56,346,534, which represented 4.37% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(b) 

Security has an irrevocable call by the issuer or mandatory put by the holder. Maturity date reflects such call or put.

(c) 

Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2020.

(d) 

Principal and/or interest payments are secured by the bond insurance company listed.

(e) 

Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2020 was $237,804,761, which represented 18.48% of the Fund’s Net Assets.

(f) 

Security subject to the alternative minimum tax.

(g) 

Advance refunded; secured by an escrow fund of U.S. Government obligations or other highly rated collateral.

(h) 

Underlying security related to TOB Trusts entered into by the Fund. See Note 1J.

(i) 

Zero coupon bond issued at a discount.

(j) 

Security is subject to a reimbursement agreement which may require the Fund to pay amounts to a counterparty in the event of a significant decline in the market value of the security underlying the TOB Trusts. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Fund could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $14,930,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security underlying the TOB Trusts.

(k) 

Principal and interest payments are fully enhanced by a letter of credit from the bank listed or a predecessor bank, branch or subsidiary.

(l) 

Demand security payable upon demand by the Fund at specified time intervals no greater than thirteen months. Interest rate is redetermined periodically by the issuer or agent based on current market conditions. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2020.

(m) 

The issuer is paying less than stated interest, but is not in default on principal because scheduled principal payments have not yet begun.

(n) 

Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3.

(o) 

Non-income producing security.

(p) 

Entities may either issue, guarantee, back or otherwise enhance the credit quality of a security. The entities are not primarily responsible for the issuer’s obligation but may be called upon to satisfy issuer’s obligations. No concentration of any single entity was greater than 5% each.

(q) 

Floating rate note obligations related to securities held. The interest and fee rates shown reflect the rates in effect at August 31, 2020. At August 31, 2020, the Fund’s investments with a value of $97,397,290 are held by TOB Trusts and serve as collateral for the $61,580,000 in the floating rate note obligations outstanding at that date.

36   Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund


Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek federal tax-exempt current income and taxable capital appreciation.

The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service 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 value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash

 

37   Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund


dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares of each class.

C.

Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions – Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable and tax-exempt earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

In addition, the Fund intends to invest in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay shareholders “exempt-interest dividends”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees – Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate note obligations, if any.

H.

Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

I.

Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

J.

Floating Rate Note Obligations – The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities, such as Tender Option Bonds (“TOBs”), for investment purposes and to enhance the yield of the Fund. Such securities may be purchased in the secondary market without first owning an underlying bond but generally are created through the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Fund to special purpose trusts established by a broker dealer or by the Fund (“TOB Trusts”) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the TOB Trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The TOB Trusts finance the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the TOB Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. Inverse floating rate securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable.

The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities are varying degrees of liquidity and decreases in the value of such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain instances, the short-term floating rate notes created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such notes for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust holding the fixed rate bonds may be collapsed with the entity that contributed the fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trust. In the case where a TOB Trust is collapsed with the Fund, the Fund will be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities, which may require the Fund to sell other portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation. The Fund could therefore be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The

 

38   Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund


embedded leverage in the TOB Trust could cause the Fund to lose more money than the value of the asset it has contributed to the TOB Trust and greater levels of leverage create the potential for greater losses. In addition, a Fund may enter into reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain residuals held by the Fund. These agreements commit a Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust, including following the termination of a TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event (“liquidity shortfall”). The reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trust.

The Fund accounts for the transfer of fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption Floating rate note obligations on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The carrying amount of the Fund’s floating rate note obligations as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption Interest and records the expenses related to floating rate obligations and any administrative expenses of the TOB Trusts as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.

Final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing services for existing TOB Trusts. A new TOB structure is being utilized by the Fund wherein the Fund, as holder of the residuals, will perform certain duties previously performed by banking entities as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may be performed by a third-party service provider. The Fund’s expanded role under the new TOB structure may increase its operational and regulatory risk. The new structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the remarketing agent would not be able to repurchase tendered floaters for its own account upon a failed remarketing. In the event of a failed remarketing, a banking entity serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered floaters. The TOB Trust, not the Fund, would be the borrower and the loan from the liquidity provider will be secured by the purchased floaters now held by the TOB Trust. However, as previously described, the Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to the extent it entered into a reimbursement agreement with the liquidity provider.

Further, the SEC and various banking agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Fund has adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.

There can be no assurances that the new TOB structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further, there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund in order to maintain current levels of leverage. Any alternative forms of leverage may be less advantageous to the Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, distribution rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.

TOBs are presently classified as private placement securities. Private placement securities are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or are otherwise not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although atypical, these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.

K.

Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

L.

Other Risks – The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and the Fund’s investments in municipal securities. There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.

The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.

The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claim.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Effective May 15, 2020, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate

First $ 100 million

   0.483%

Next $150 million

   0.433%

Next $250 million

   0.408%

Next $4.5 billion

   0.383%

Next $5 billion

   0.373%

Over $10 billion

   0.353%

Prior to May 15, 2020, the Fund accrued daily and paid monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets    Rate

First $ 300 million

   0.500%

Next $300 million

   0.460%

Over $600 million

   0.420%

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.44%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021 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 C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.79%, 1.54%, 0.54%, 0.54% and 0.54%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser reimbursed class level expenses of $159,345, $43,667, $113,679, $0 and $0 of Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund pursuant to the Class C Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $36,317 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $63,149 and $4,486 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

    Level 1 -    Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

40   Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund


    Level 2 -   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
    Level 3 -   Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments

The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers

 

41   Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund


complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $108,849,610 and securities sales of $108,803,030, which did not result in any net realized gains (losses).

NOTE 6–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $441.

NOTE 7–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 8–Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets, or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.

Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the transfer of bonds to TOB Trusts are accounted for as secured borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to inverse floating rate note obligations during the year ended August 31, 2020 were $26,868,846 and 1.29%, respectively.

NOTE 9–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Total net assets

   $ 1,286,972,192  

 

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to defaulted bonds.

The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020, as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward*  

 

 
Expiration    Short-Term        Long-Term        Total  

 

 

Not subject to expiration

   $ 38,131,937        $ 241,499,471        $ 279,631,408  

 

 

 

*

Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

NOTE 11–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of defaulted bonds, federal income taxes and bond discount, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $473,353, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $563,549 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $90,196. Further, as a result of tax deferrals acquired in the reorganization of Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund into the Fund, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $20,218,891, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $262,637,211 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $282,856,102. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a) 

There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 54% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. IDI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.

(b) 

After the close of business on May 15, 2020, the Fund acquired all the net assets of Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund (the “Target Fund”) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund on February 14, 2020. The reorganization was executed in order to reduce overlap and increase efficiencies in the Adviser’s product line. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 89,881,568 shares of the Fund for 208,315,250 shares outstanding of the Target Fund as of the close of business on May 15, 2020. Shares of the Target Fund were exchanged for the like class of shares of the Fund, based on the relative net asset value of the Target Fund to the net asset value of the Fund on the close of business, May 15, 2020. The Target Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on May 15, 2020 of $874,344,846, including $(156,661,829) of unrealized appreciation (depreciation), were combined with those of the Fund. The net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $417,682,133 and $1,292,026,979 immediately after the acquisition.

The pro forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020 assuming the reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2019, the beginning of the annual reporting period are as follows:

 

Net investment income

   $ 50,007,407  

 

 

Net realized/unrealized gains (losses)

     (72,263,202

 

 

Change in net assets resulting from operations

   $ (22,255,795

 

 

As the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that has been included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations since May 16, 2020.

NOTE 13–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the Company) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund’s (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

    As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also

discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

    The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

    The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world.

As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

    The Board noted that the Fund incepted on September 30, 2015 and compared the Fund’s investment performance for the past four years ended December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three year period. The Board noted that security selection in as well as the Fund’s underweight allocation to certain categories of bonds, including certain states and U.S. territories, negatively impacted Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee schedule was reduced at certain breakpoint levels effective May 2020 and that the Broadridge materials did not reflect this reduced contractual management fee schedule. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in

 

 

47   Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund


providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The

Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders

 

LOGO           

Dear Shareholders:

This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period.

Investors faced unprecedented economic events and market volatility during the reporting period as a global pandemic gripped the world and equities experienced some of the most extreme price swings in history. In the fall of 2019, the onset of the reporting period, markets were relatively calm despite US-China trade concerns and signs of slowing global growth. In the final months of 2019, better-than-expected third quarter corporate earnings and initial agreement of the phase one US-China trade deal provided a favorable backdrop for equities and impressive fourth quarter global equity returns.

As 2020 dawned, US investors were treated to equity gains culminating in record highs on February 19, 2020. The first half of the quarter, however, belied the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) would

have on markets in a world faced with shuttered businesses and global lockdowns. Equity markets began to sell off in late February and plummeted in March. The speed and depth of market declines and reversals during the month made March 2020 one of the most volatile months on record. While equities languished, government bonds largely performed as expected as central banks cut interest rates, which lowered bond yields but sent bond prices soaring. Like equities, however, corporate bond prices fell due to the impact of diminished corporate profits. In response to the financial and economic hardships caused by the pandemic, central banks and governments around the world responded with fiscal and monetary stimulus. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero (0.00-0.25%) and announced an unprecedented quantitative easing program. The US administration also passed a $2.2 trillion economic-relief package – the largest in US history. Most major economies outside of the US provided liquidity in the bond and equity markets in the form of fiscal policy and quantitative easing.

Massive global fiscal and monetary responses prompted a remarkable global stock market rebound in the second quarter of 2020. All 11 sectors of the S&P 500 Index were positive for the quarter with the index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998. Technology stocks led the way pushing the Nasdaq Composite Index to record highs. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury stabilized after its large decline in the first quarter. Despite macroeconomic data that illustrated the enormous economic cost of the shutdowns – millions of US workers lost their jobs and the US economy contracted at a 5.0% annualized rate for the first quarter of 2020 – the overall tone of economic data improved during the second quarter, offsetting some of the pandemic fears. Retail sales rebounded in May, as did automobile sales, and the unemployment rate continued to drop.

The final months of the reporting period provided further evidence that economic activity, post lockdowns, had improved. Despite the announcement that US GDP decreased at an annual rate of 31.7% in the second quarter of 2020 (second estimate), investors were more focused on recovery of economic data. The housing market rebounded sharply off its spring lows and companies reported better-than-expected Q2 earnings. The possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine by year-end also encouraged investors. In this context, the S&P 500 Index turned positive year-to-date through July and set new record highs in August. Comparatively, international equities, both developed and emerging, were also largely positive but lagged US stocks.

As markets and investors attempt to adapt to a new normal, we’ll see how the interplay of interest rates, economic data, geopolitics and a host of other factors affect US and overseas equity and fixed income markets.

Investor uncertainty and market volatility, such as we witnessed during the reporting period, are unfortunate facts of life when it comes to investing. That’s why Invesco encourages investors to work with professional financial advisers. They can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Dear Shareholders:

Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate.

As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to:

 Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time.

 Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions.

 Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.

Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.

We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper, Inc. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.), an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.

I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.

On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.

Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund

The broad municipal bond market experienced positive returns for the sixth consecutive year in 2019, with investment grade and high-yield municipals among the best performing asset classes. However, in an unexpected twist, performance turned negative in March 2020 as the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic pierced the markets and forced society to navigate unchartered waters for the balance of the fiscal year.

    Investment grade municipal bonds returned 3.24%, high yield municipal bonds returned 0.96%, and taxable municipal bonds returned 6.02% during the fiscal year.1

    The fiscal year began with heightened demand for perceived safe-haven assets, including municipal bonds, due to economic uncertainty. However, developments in the fourth quarter of 2019 led investors to favor riskier investments as many of the perceived major threats looming over markets subsided. The US and China reached a phase one trade deal, Congress settled on a funding “deal in principle” eliminating the risk of a government shutdown, and the somewhat unexpected UK election results set the stage for an orderly exit from the European Union by January 31, 2020.

    During the middle of the fiscal year, there was an unexpected major market shift as the global spread of COVID-19 ignited macroeconomic concerns. Significant equity market sell-offs incited a flight to quality that caused a strong municipal rally in February 2020. In March, however, a flight to cash caused extreme volatility and price declines across the municipal market.

    Municipal funds averaged about $10 billion per week in outflows during March.2 Total fund outflows were $21 billion for the first quarter of 2020, with the majority in the high-yield segment.2 High-yield municipal funds generally hold anywhere from 30% to 60% of their portfolios in investment grade securities. As a result, funds had been selling both high-yield and investment grade

securities into a distressed market to meet shareholder redemptions. This led to price declines across the municipal universe.

    Continued uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and its economic effects caused other major dislocations in the marketplace, including US Treasuries. Near the end of March, 10-year AAA-rated municipals traded at yields that were roughly 370% of the yield on comparable maturity US Treasuries – well above the historical norm of approximately 90%.3

    The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut the federal funds rate four times over the fiscal year. The first two cuts in September and October 2019 were small, a quarter of a percentage point each. The last two were more significant as they were made during unscheduled emergency meetings in March in response to COVID-19, consisting of a half of a percentage and whole percentage point leaving the target range 0.00% to 0.25%.4

    Investors continued to sell municipal bonds in April amid disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in May and June performance improved despite ongoing market turmoil. As April began, many states maintained quarantines with indeterminate timelines for closures of non-essential businesses.

    New issuance totaled $473 billion for the fiscal year, up 33% from the previous fiscal year’s $355 billion.5 Taxable municipals played a significant role in this increase with more than $135 billion of this total being issued into the taxable market.6 This uptick is a result of recent changes in tax laws. Municipalities are no longer able to refinance existing debt with new tax-exempt debt, thus an uptrend in taxable municipal issuance.

    Thus far, federal assistance to the municipal market has included the Fed’s plan to purchase up to $500 billion in short-term municipal bonds to relieve pressure on short-term paper. Additionally, the Municipal Liquidity Facility (MLF) enables select large borrowers -two issuers per state, city or county are eligible - to use proceeds from the sale of notes to service their debt payments. Specific sectors

 

such as airlines, transportation and hospitals have also received federal funding. We believe that these stimulus packages and those in other market segments are likely to push taxes higher. Because municipal bonds are one of a few income sources not subject to federal taxes, their income should be more attractive if taxes rise.

    Municipal credits have a long history of low default rates as many provide essential services to all Americans. Most municipal issuers were in strong financial shape heading into the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite speculation, a flurry of downgrades has not yet occurred, mainly because most issuers have a rainy-day fund or cash on hand for difficult times. Though there could be small, isolated pockets of defaults in the future, we generally believe the majority of municipal bonds in the municipal market will stay current on principal and interest, as history has shown.

    At the close of the fiscal year, it is impossible to predict when the coronavirus pandemic will abate or how significant market volatility will be surrounding the upcoming 2020 US presidential election, however, we continue to rely on our seasoned credit research staff to take advantage of marketplace dislocations to add value during these times of uncertainty.

    During the fiscal year, security selection in special tax and the industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors, as well as the electric sector, aided the Fund’s performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal 1-Year Index. Security selection in A-rated† bonds also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. At the state level, holdings in Illinois and Maryland also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. Security selection in pre-refunded bonds and leasing detracted from the Fund’s relative performance over the fiscal year. On a state level, holdings in New Jersey detracted from the Fund’s relative return.

    We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The risk may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are near historic lows. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics, such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces, such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, as well as the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares are those for Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.

    Class R6 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

    The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

    Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class A, Class Y and Class R6 shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.

    The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

    Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Liquidity Rule”) in order to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program in accordance with the Liquidity Rule (the “Program”). The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) has appointed Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), the Fund’s investment adviser, as the Program’s administrator, and Invesco has delegated oversight of the Program to the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), which is composed of senior representatives from relevant business groups at Invesco.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program includes policies and procedures providing for an assessment, no less

frequently than annually, of the Fund’s liquidity risk that takes into account, as relevant to the Fund’s liquidity risk: (1) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; (2) short-term and long-term cash flow projections for the Fund during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and (3) the Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents and any borrowing arrangements. The Liquidity Rule also requires the classification of the Fund’s investments into categories that reflect the assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. The Fund classifies its investments into one of four categories defined in the Liquidity Rule: “Highly Liquid,” “Moderately Liquid,” “Less Liquid” and “Illiquid.” Funds that are not invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” that are assets (cash or investments that are reasonably expected to be convertible into cash within three business days without significantly changing the market value of the investment) are required to establish a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” (“HLIM”), which is the minimum percentage of net assets that must be invested in Highly Liquid Investments. Funds with HLIMs have procedures for addressing HLIM shortfalls, including reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule. In addition, the Fund may not acquire an investment if, immediately after the acquisition, over 15% of the Fund’s net assets would consist of “Illiquid Investments” that are assets (an investment that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment). The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require reporting to the Board and the SEC (on a non-public basis) if a Fund’s holdings of Illiquid Investments exceed 15% of the Fund’s assets.

At a meeting held on March 30-April 1, 2020, the Committee presented a report to the Board that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program’s adequacy and effectiveness of implementation (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1,

2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Program Reporting Period”).

The Report stated, in relevant part, that during the Program Reporting Period:

The Program, as adopted and implemented, remained reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk and was operated effectively to achieve that goal;

The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund;

The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund;

The Fund did not breach the 15% limit on Illiquid Investments; and

The Fund primarily held Highly Liquid Investments and therefore has not adopted an HLIM.

29   Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund


Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies

Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, formerly Invesco Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income.

The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Effective September 3, 2019, Class A shares are sold at net asset value. Prior to September 3, 2019, Class A shares were sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria were met. Under certain circumstances, load waived shares may have been subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Class C shares held for ten years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares. Effective November 30, 2020, the automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will change from ten years to eight years. The first conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.

Security Valuations - Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.

Securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service 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 specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Securities for which market quotations either are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition; trading in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news; and other relevant factors under the circumstances.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on an accrual basis from settlement date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.

The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.

C.

Country Determination - For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

D.

Distributions - Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes.

E.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As

 

30   Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund


 

such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F.

Expenses - Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R6 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.

G.

Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees - Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining the credit agreement.

H.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

I.

Indemnifications - Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote.

J.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis - The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.

K.

LIBOR Risk - The Fund may invest in instruments that use or may use a floating reference rate based on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the head of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As a result, any impact of a transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or the instruments in which the Fund invests cannot yet be determined. Industry initiatives are underway to identify alternative reference rates; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. As a result, the transition process might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates; a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments; and/or costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new agreements. These effects could occur prior to the end of 2021 as the utility of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition period.

L.

Other Risks - The value of, payment of interest on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions in which the issuers are located. Since many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities market and the Fund’s investments in municipal securities. There is some risk that a portion or all of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by the Internal Revenue Service.

The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 

Average Daily Net Assets*    Rate  

Up to $100 million

     0.500%  

Next $150 million

     0.450%  

Next $250 million

     0.425%  

Next $500 million

     0.400%  

Next $4 billion

     0.370%  

Over $5 billion

     0.350%  

 

*

The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.39%.

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).

 

31   Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund


    The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares 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 C, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 0.79%, 1.54%, 0.54% and 0.44%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.

    For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $121.

    The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.

    The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

    The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund pursuant to the Class C Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2020, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

    Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended August 31, 2020, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $0 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $52,309 and $6,695 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.

    Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3–Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

Level 1 -   Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 -   Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 -    Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

    The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of August 31, 2020. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $572,320.

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)

The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $717.

NOTE 6–Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 7–Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Fund has entered into a $2.5 billion revolving credit and security agreement, which enables the Fund to participate with certain other Funds in a committed secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings up to $2.5 billion, collectively by certain Funds, and which will expire on February 25, 2021. The revolving credit and security agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund.

    During the year ended August 31, 2020, the average daily balance of borrowing under the revolving credit and security agreement was $12,003,804 with a weighted interest rate of 1.84%. The carrying amount of the Fund’s payable for borrowings as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. Expenses under the revolving credit and security agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Interest, facilities and maintenance fees. At August 31, 2020, the Fund had no borrowings outstanding under this agreement.

    Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

    The Fund is subject to certain covenants relating to the revolving credit and security agreement. Failure to comply with these restrictions could cause the acceleration of the repayment of the amount outstanding under the revolving credit and security agreement.

NOTE 8–Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Total net assets

     $2,183,433,714  

 

 

    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.

    The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.

    Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

    The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2020, as follows:

 

Capital Loss Carryforward*  

 

 
Expiration    Short-Term      Long-Term      Total  

 

 

Not subject to expiration

     $6,274,308        $10,486,540        $16,760,848  

 

 

 

*

Capital loss carryforward is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

NOTE 9–Investment Transactions

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended August 31, 2020 was $2,147,263,842 and $1,376,746,727, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

33   Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund


Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,046,757,316.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of market discount, on August 31, 2020, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,557 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $1,557. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings of the Fund.

NOTE 12–Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments.

The extent of the impact on the performance of the Fund and its investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, related restrictions and advisories, and the effects on the financial markets and economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

34   Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) and Shareholders of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2020, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Statement of Changes in Net Assets    Financial Highlights
For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period June 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 and the year ended May 31, 2019.    For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period June 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and the year ended May 31, 2019 for Class A, Class C and Class Y.
     For the year ended August 31, 2020, the period June 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and the period May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) through May 31, 2019 for Class R6.

The financial statements of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund (formerly Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund) as of and for the year ended May 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to May 31, 2018 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 25, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 

                        HYPOTHETICAL      
                      (5% annual return before      
            ACTUAL    expenses)

1 

The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.

2 

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

 

At meetings held on June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund’s (formerly, Invesco Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund) (the Fund) Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2020. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.

The Board’s Evaluation Process

The Board’s Investments Committee has established Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review detailed information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from the Investments Committee and Sub-Committees, as well as the information provided to such committees and the Board throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to

meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.

The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of June 3, 2020.

Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation

A.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers

The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis, investment risk management and research capabilities. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board also reviewed and considered information regarding the benefits to the Fund resulting from Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Transaction) and the resources that Invesco Advisers has committed to managing the Invesco family of funds following the Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and that the

Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.

B.

Fund Investment Performance

The Board considered Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund investment performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.

The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2019 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal 1-Year Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the second quintile for the three year period and the first quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with the Transaction and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction after the close of business on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics and this review did not change their conclusions.

C.

Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any

 

 

37   Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund


applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expense ratio were each in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual management fees and total expenses.

The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.

The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other similarly managed client accounts. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.

The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts.

D.

Economies of Scale and Breakpoints

The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The Board also considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.

E.

Profitability and Financial Resources

The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services in the aggregate and on an individual Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds in the aggregate and to certain Funds on an individual fund level. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the

services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.

F.

Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates

The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.

The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the costs to the Fund of such investments. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

ITEM 2.

CODE OF ETHICS.

There were no amendments to the Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) during the period covered by the report. The Registrant did not grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from any provisions of the Code to the PEO or PFO during the period covered by this report.

 

ITEM 3.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee financial experts are David C. Arch, Bruce L. Crockett, Cynthia Hostetler, Elizabeth Krentzman, Anthony J. LaCava, Jr., Teresa M. Ressel, Jr. Robert C. Troccoli and James Vaughn. David C. Arch, Bruce L. Crockett, Cynthia Hostetler, Elizabeth Krentzman, Anthony J. LaCava, Jr., Teresa M. Ressel, Jr. Robert C. Troccoli and James Vaughn are “independent” within the meaning of that term as used in Form N-CSR.

 

ITEM 4.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Pursuant to PCAOB Rule 3526, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC (“PwC”) advised the Registrant’s Audit Committee of the following matters identified between September 1, 2019 to October 29, 2020 that may be reasonably thought to bear on PwC’s independence. PwC advised the Audit Committee that five PwC Managers and one PwC Associate each held financial interests either directly or, in the case of two PwC Managers, indirectly through their spouse’s brokerage account, in investment companies within the Invesco Fund Complex that were inconsistent with the requirements of Rule 2-01(c)(1) of Regulation S-X. In reporting the matters to the Audit Committee, PwC noted, among other things, that the impermissible holdings were disposed of by the individuals, the individuals were not in the chain of command of the audit or the audit partners of the Funds, the individuals either did not provide any audit services (or in the case of one PwC Manager and one PwC Associate, the individual did not have decision-making responsibility for matters that materially affected the audit and their audit work was reviewed by team members at least two levels higher than the individuals), or did not provide services of any kind to the Registrant or its affiliates, and the financial interests were not material to the net worth of each individual or their respective immediate family members and senior leadership of the Funds’ audit engagement team was unaware of the impermissible holdings until after the matters were confirmed to be independence exceptions or individuals ceased providing services. Based on the mitigating factors noted above, PwC advised the Audit Committee that it concluded that its objectivity and impartiality with respect to all issues encompassed within the audit engagement has not been impaired and that it believes it can continue to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds in the Registrant.

(e)(1)

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

As adopted by the Audit Committees

of the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)

Last Amended March 29, 2017

 

  I.

Statement of Principles

The Audit Committees (the “Audit Committee”) of the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) have adopted these policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) with respect to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Funds’ independent auditor (the “Auditor”) to the Funds, and to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Service Affiliates”).

Under Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor must be preapproved by the Audit Committee. Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee also pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”).

These Procedures set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee may pre-approve audit and non-audit services for the Funds and a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other organizations and regulatory bodies applicable to the Funds (“Applicable Rules”).1 They address both general pre-approvals without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approvals”) and pre-approvals on a case-by-case basis (“specific pre-approvals”). Any services requiring pre-approval that are not within the scope of general pre-approvals hereunder are subject to specific pre-approval. These Procedures also address the delegation by the Audit Committee of pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chair or Vice Chair.

 

  II.

Pre-Approval of Fund Audit Services

The annual Fund audit services engagement, including terms and fees, is subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by an independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee will receive, review and consider sufficient information concerning a proposed Fund audit engagement to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee will oversee the Fund audit services engagement as necessary, including approving any changes in terms, audit scope, conditions and fees.

In addition to approving the Fund audit services engagement at least annually and specifically approving any changes, the Audit Committee may generally or specifically pre-approve engagements for other audit services, which are those services that only an independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other audit services may include services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.

 

1 

Applicable Rules include, for example, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules applicable to closed-end funds managed by Invesco and listed on NYSE.


  III.

General and Specific Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Fund Services

The Audit Committee will consider, at least annually, the list of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services which list may be terminated or modified at any time by the Audit Committee. To inform the Audit Committee’s review and approval of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and Auditor shall provide such information regarding independence or other matters as the Audit Committee may request.

Any services or fee ranges that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval. Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee for services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether to pre-approve such engagement, including evaluating whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor and is otherwise consistent with Applicable Rules.

 

  IV.

Non-Audit Service Types

The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of audit-related, tax or other services, each as described in more detail below.

 

  a.

Audit-Related Services

“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by an independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; services related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.

 

  b.

Tax Services

“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will not approve proposed services of the Auditor which the Audit Committee believes are to be provided in connection with a service or transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisers as necessary to ensure the consistency of tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. The Auditor shall not represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.

Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee will include a description from the Auditor in writing of (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written, or otherwise) between the Auditor and the Funds, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor (or an affiliate of the Auditor) and any person (other than the Funds or Service Affiliates receiving the services) with respect to the promoting,


marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will also discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor, and document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.

 

  c.

Other Services

The Audit Committee may pre-approve other non-audit services so long as the Audit Committee believes that the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor. Appendix I includes a list of services that the Auditor is prohibited from performing by the SEC rules. Appendix I also includes a list of services that would impair the Auditor’s independence unless the Audit Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements.

 

  V.

Pre-Approval of Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements

Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds, defined above as a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”.

The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, including for audit-related, tax or other services, as described above, if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the services to a Service Affiliate will not impair the independence of the Auditor with respect to the Funds. Any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval.

Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee of a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, a description of the current status of the pre-approval process involving other audit committees in the Invesco investment company complex (as defined in Rule 2-201 of Regulation S-X) with respect to the proposed engagement, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor from the Funds. Additionally, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a statement that the proposed engagement requires pre-approval by the Audit Committee, the proposed engagement, in their view, will not impair the independence of the Auditor and is consistent with Applicable Rules, and the description of the proposed engagement provided to the Audit Committee is consistent with that presented to or approved by the Invesco audit committee.

Information about all Service Affiliate engagements of the Auditor for non-audit services, whether or not subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee, shall be provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly, to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds. The Funds’ Treasurer and Auditor shall provide the Audit Committee with sufficiently detailed information about the scope of services provided and the fees for such services, to ensure that the Audit Committee can adequately consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds.

 

  VI.

Pre-Approved Fee Levels or Established Amounts

Pre-approved fee levels or ranges for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds, and for a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, under general pre-approval or specific pre-approval will be set periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fee levels or ranges for such services or engagements will be promptly presented


to the Audit Committee and will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee before payment of any additional fees is made.

 

  VII.

Delegation

The Audit Committee hereby delegates, subject to the dollar limitations set forth below, specific authority to its Chair, or in his or her absence, Vice Chair, to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, between Audit Committee meetings. Such delegation does not preclude the Chair or Vice Chair from declining, on a case by case basis, to exercise his or her delegated authority and instead convening the Audit Committee to consider and pre-approve any proposed services or engagements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Audit Committee must pre-approve: (a) any non-audit services to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; (b) any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; or (c) any cost increase to any previously approved service or engagement that exceeds the greater of $250,000 or 50% of the previously approved fees up to a maximum increase of $500,000.

 

  VIII.

Compliance with Procedures

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to pre-approve any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X shall not constitute a violation of these Procedures. The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to ensure services and engagements are pre-approved in compliance with these Procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will immediately report to the Chair of the Audit Committee, or the Vice Chair in his or her absence, any breach of these Procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a summary of all non-audit services provided to any entity in the investment company complex (as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, including the Funds and Service Affiliates) that were not pre-approved, including the nature of services provided and the associated fees.

 

  IX.

Amendments to Procedures

All material amendments to these Procedures must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. Non-material amendments to these Procedures may be made by the Legal and Compliance Departments and will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.

Appendix I

Non-Audit Services That May Impair the Auditor’s Independence

The Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services:

 

   

Management functions;

 

   

Human resources;

 

   

Broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services ;

 

   

Legal services;


   

Expert services unrelated to the audit;

 

   

Any service or product provided for a contingent fee or a commission;

 

   

Services related to marketing, planning, or opining in favor of the tax treatment of confidential transactions or aggressive tax position transactions, a significant purpose of which is tax avoidance;

 

   

Tax services for persons in financial reporting oversight roles at the Fund; and

 

   

Any other service that the Public Company Oversight Board determines by regulation is impermissible.

An Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services unless it is reasonable to conclude that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements:

 

   

Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client;

 

   

Financial information systems design and implementation;

 

   

Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports;

 

   

Actuarial services; and

 

   

Internal audit outsourcing services.

(e)(2) There were no amounts that were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimus exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) In addition to the amounts shown in the tables above, PwC billed Invesco and Invesco Affiliates aggregate fees of $5,769,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 and $3,211,000 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019. In total, PwC billed the Registrant, Invesco and Invesco Affiliates aggregate non-audit fees of $6,807,048 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 and $4,222,363 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019.

PwC provided audit services to the Investment Company complex of approximately $32 million.

(h) The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Invesco and Invesco Affiliates that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to SEC regulations, if any, is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence.

There have been no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
