  Through December 31, 2012, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund do not exceed a specified maximum annual advisory fee rate, wherein the fee rate includes breakpoints and is based upon net asset levels. The Fund’s maximum annual advisory fee rate ranges from 0.695% (for average net assets up to $250 million) to 0.52% (for average net assets over $10 billion). This fee waiver will terminate on December 31, 2012.
 
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
 
 
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
 
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years    
 
Class A
  $ 674     $ 936     $ 1,219     $ 2,021      
Class B
  $ 707     $ 940     $ 1,298     $ 2,176      
Class C
  $ 307     $ 640     $ 1,098     $ 2,369      
Class R
  $ 157     $ 486     $ 839     $ 1,834      
Class Y
  $ 106     $ 331     $ 574     $ 1,271      
 
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years    
 
Class A
  $ 674     $ 936     $ 1,219     $ 2,021      
Class B
  $ 207     $ 640     $ 1,098     $ 2,176      
Class C
  $ 207     $ 640     $ 1,098     $ 2,369      
Class R
  $ 157     $ 486     $ 839     $ 1,834      
Class Y
  $ 106     $ 331     $ 574     $ 1,271      
 
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 126% of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of issuers of all market capitalizations.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.
 
The Adviser uses a bottom-up stock selection process designed to seek returns in excess of the benchmark as well as a disciplined portfolio construction process designed to manage risk. To narrow the investment universe, the Adviser uses a holistic approach that emphasizes

fundamental research and, to a lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. The Adviser then closely examines company fundamentals, including detailed modeling of all of a company’s financial statements and discussions with company management teams, suppliers, distributors, competitors, and customers. The Adviser uses a variety of valuation techniques based on the company in question, the industry in which the company operates, the stage of the business cycle, and other factors that best reflect a company’s value. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies with strong or improving fundamentals, attractive valuation relative to growth prospects, and earning expectations that appear fair to conservative.
 
The Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when a company hits the price target, a company’s fundamentals deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected in the stock price.
 
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Active Trading Risk. The Fund engages in frequent trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added expenses and may result in a lower return and increased tax liability.
 
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
 
Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
 
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark with investment objectives and strategies similar to the Fund. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s Web site at www.invesco.com/us.

The bar chart does not reflect sales loads. If it did, the annual total returns shown would be lower.
