Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]	rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock	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 52% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example [Heading]	rr_ExpenseExampleHeading	Example.
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock	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:
Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of issuers of all market capitalizations. The principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund does not invest in companies whose primary business involves alcohol, tobacco or gambling. The Fund invests primarily in securities that are considered by the Fund's portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities. The Fund's investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), focuses on securities of issuers exhibiting long-term, sustainable earnings and cash flow growth that is not yet reflected in investor expectations or equity valuations. 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 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 their growth prospects, and earning expectations that appear fair to conservative. The Adviser attempts to limit risk by broadly diversifying the portfolio. The Adviser considers selling a security when a company hits the price target, if fundamental business prospects deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected in the stock price.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	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: 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. Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The portfolio management team seeks to construct a portfolio of issuers that have high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and which are trading at attractive valuations. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however, a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which includes foreign debt and foreign equity securities. The Fund employs a risk management strategy to help minimize loss of capital and reduce excessive volatility. Pursuant to this strategy, the Fund generally invests a substantial amount of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market by equitizing cash and as a hedge against downside risk. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct fundamental research of issuers to gain a thorough understanding of their business prospects, appreciation potential and return on invested capital. The process they use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis. Financial analysis evaluates an issuer’s capital allocation, and provides vital insight into historical and potential return on invested capital which is a key indicator of business quality and caliber of management. Business analysis allows the team to determine an issuer’s competitive positioning by identifying key drivers of the issuer, understanding industry challenges and evaluating the sustainability of competitive advantages. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help estimate an issuer’s value. The portfolio managers use three primary valuation techniques: discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value. At the conclusion of their research process, the portfolio managers will generally invest in an issuer when they have determined it potentially has high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and is trading at an attractive valuation. The portfolio managers consider selling a security when it exceeds the target price, has not shown a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals or a more compelling investment opportunity exists.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	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: Cash/Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance. Debt Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality. Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. 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. 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. Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class S INVESCO SUMMIT FUND	97	303	525	1,166

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 52% 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 principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock.

The Fund does not invest in companies whose primary business involves alcohol, tobacco or gambling. The Fund invests primarily in securities that are considered by the Fund's portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities.

The Fund's investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), focuses on securities of issuers exhibiting long-term, sustainable earnings and cash flow growth that is not yet reflected in investor expectations or equity valuations. 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 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 their growth prospects, and earning expectations that appear fair to conservative.

The Adviser attempts to limit risk by broadly diversifying the portfolio.

The Adviser considers selling a security when a company hits the price target, if fundamental business prospects deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected in the stock price.

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:

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.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

Class R5 and R6 | Invesco Diversified Dividend Fund

Fund Summaries - INVESCO DIVERSIFIED DIVIDEND FUND

Investment Objective(s)

The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and,

secondarily, current income.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees Class R5 and R6 Invesco Diversified Dividend Fund	Class R5	Class R6
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a percentage of original purchase price or redemption proceeds, whichever is less)	none	none

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses Class R5 and R6 Invesco Diversified Dividend Fund		Class R5	Class R6
Management Fees		0.42%	0.42%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees		none	none
Other Expenses		0.13%	0.03%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		0.56%	0.46%
Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement	[1]	0.01%	0.01%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement		0.55%	0.45%

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 equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example Class R5 and R6 Invesco Diversified Dividend Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class R5	56	178	312	700
Class R6	46	147	257	578

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 6% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity securities. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock.

The Fund invests in securities that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued based on various valuation measures.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers.

In selecting investments, the portfolio managers seek to identify dividend-paying issuers with strong profitability, solid balance sheets and capital allocation policies that support sustained or increasing dividends and share repurchases. Through fundamental research, financial statement analysis and the use of several valuation techniques, the management team estimates a target price for each security over a 2-3 year investment horizon. The portfolio managers manage risk utilizing a valuation framework, careful stock selection and a rigorous buy-and-sell discipline and incorporate an assessment of the potential reward relative to the downside risk to determine a fair valuation over the investment horizon. When evaluating cyclical businesses, the management team seeks companies that have normalized earnings power greater than that implied by their current market valuation and that return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. The portfolio managers then construct a portfolio they believe provides the best total return profile, which is created by seeking a combination of price appreciation potential, dividend income and capital preservation.

The portfolio managers maintain a rigorous sell discipline and consider selling or trimming a position in a stock when it no longer materially meets our investment criteria, including when (1) a stock reaches its fair valuation (target price); (2) a company’s fundamental business prospects deteriorate; or (3) a more attractive investment opportunity presents itself.

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:

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.

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.

Value Investing Style Risk. The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced.

Performance Information

The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. For more information on the benchmarks used see the “Benchmark Descriptions” section in the prospectus. 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.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The portfolio management team seeks to construct a portfolio of issuers that have high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and which are trading at attractive valuations. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however, a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which includes foreign debt and foreign equity securities. The Fund employs a risk management strategy to help minimize loss of capital and reduce excessive volatility. Pursuant to this strategy, the Fund generally invests a substantial amount of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market by equitizing cash and as a hedge against downside risk. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct fundamental research of issuers to gain a thorough understanding of their business prospects, appreciation potential and return on invested capital. The process they use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis. Financial analysis evaluates an issuer's capital allocation, and provides vital insight into historical and potential return on invested capital which is a key indicator of business quality and caliber of management. Business analysis allows the team to determine an issuer's competitive positioning by identifying key drivers of the issuer, understanding industry challenges and evaluating the sustainability of competitive advantages. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help estimate an issuer's value. The portfolio managers use three primary valuation techniques: discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value. At the conclusion of their research process, the portfolio managers will generally invest in an issuer when they have determined it potentially has high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and is trading at an attractive valuation. The portfolio managers consider selling a security when it exceeds the target price, has not shown a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals or a more compelling investment opportunity exists.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	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: Cash/Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance. Debt Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality. Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund's returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund's ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. 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. 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. Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The portfolio management team seeks to construct a portfolio of issuers that have high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and which are trading at attractive valuations. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however, a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which includes foreign debt and foreign equity securities. The Fund employs a risk management strategy to help minimize loss of capital and reduce excessive volatility. Pursuant to this strategy, the Fund generally invests a substantial amount of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market by equitizing cash and as a hedge against downside risk. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct fundamental research of issuers to gain a thorough understanding of their business prospects, appreciation potential and return on invested capital. The process they use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis. Financial analysis evaluates an issuer's capital allocation, and provides vital insight into historical and potential return on invested capital which is a key indicator of business quality and caliber of management. Business analysis allows the team to determine an issuer's competitive positioning by identifying key drivers of the issuer, understanding industry challenges and evaluating the sustainability of competitive advantages. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help estimate an issuer's value. The portfolio managers use three primary valuation techniques: discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value. At the conclusion of their research process, the portfolio managers will generally invest in an issuer when they have determined it potentially has high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and is trading at an attractive valuation. The portfolio managers consider selling a security when it exceeds the target price, has not shown a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals or a more compelling investment opportunity exists.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	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: Cash/Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance. Debt Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality. Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund's returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund's ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. 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. 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. Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

Fund Summaries - INVESCO CHARTER FUND

Investment Objective(s)

The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees Class R5 and R6 Invesco Charter Fund	Class R5	Class R6
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a percentage of original purchase price or redemption proceeds, whichever is less)	none	none

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 equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example Class R5 and R6 Invesco Charter Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class R5	76	241	420	940
Class R6	66	212	371	833

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 23% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The portfolio management team seeks to construct a portfolio of issuers that have high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and which are trading at attractive valuations.

The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however, a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which includes foreign debt and foreign equity securities.

The Fund employs a risk management strategy to help minimize loss of capital and reduce excessive volatility. Pursuant to this strategy, the Fund generally invests a substantial amount of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.

The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market by equitizing cash and as a hedge against downside risk.

The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct fundamental research of issuers to gain a thorough understanding of their business prospects, appreciation potential and return on invested capital. The process they use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis. Financial analysis evaluates an issuer’s capital allocation, and provides vital insight into historical and potential return on invested capital which is a key indicator of business quality and caliber of management. Business analysis allows the team to determine an issuer’s competitive positioning by identifying key drivers of the issuer, understanding industry challenges and evaluating the sustainability of competitive advantages. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help estimate an issuer’s value. The portfolio managers use three primary valuation techniques: discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value. At the conclusion of their research process, the portfolio managers will generally invest in an issuer when they have determined it potentially has high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and is trading at an attractive valuation.

The portfolio managers consider selling a security when it exceeds the target price, has not shown a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals or a more compelling investment opportunity exists.

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:

Cash/Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance.

Debt Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality.

Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.

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.

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.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

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.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity securities. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund invests in securities that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued based on various valuation measures. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers. In selecting investments, the portfolio managers seek to identify dividend-paying issuers with strong profitability, solid balance sheets and capital allocation policies that support sustained or increasing dividends and share repurchases. Through fundamental research, financial statement analysis and the use of several valuation techniques, the management team estimates a target price for each security over a 2-3 year investment horizon. The portfolio managers manage risk utilizing a valuation framework, careful stock selection and a rigorous buy-and-sell discipline and incorporate an assessment of the potential reward relative to the downside risk to determine a fair valuation over the investment horizon. When evaluating cyclical businesses, the management team seeks companies that have normalized earnings power greater than that implied by their current market valuation and that return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. The portfolio managers then construct a portfolio they believe provides the best total return profile, which is created by seeking a combination of price appreciation potential, dividend income and capital preservation. The portfolio managers maintain a rigorous sell discipline and consider selling or trimming a position in a stock when it no longer materially meets our investment criteria, including when (1) a stock reaches its fair valuation (target price); (2) a company’s fundamental business prospects deteriorate; or (3) a more attractive investment opportunity presents itself.

Value Investing Style Risk. The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced.

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 equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example Class A, B, C, R and Y Invesco Charter Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	653	876	1,116	1,804
Class B	685	877	1,194	1,960
Class C	285	577	994	2,157
Class R	134	423	732	1,611
Class Y	84	266	464	1,035

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Expense Example, No Redemption Class A, B, C, R and Y Invesco Charter Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	653	876	1,116	1,804
Class B	185	577	994	1,960
Class C	185	577	994	2,157
Class R	134	423	732	1,611
Class Y	84	266	464	1,035

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 23% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The portfolio management team seeks to construct a portfolio of issuers that have high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and which are trading at attractive valuations. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however, a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which includes foreign debt and foreign equity securities.

The Fund employs a risk management strategy to help minimize loss of capital and reduce excessive volatility. Pursuant to this strategy, the Fund generally invests a substantial amount of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.

The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market by equitizing cash and as a hedge against downside risk.

The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct fundamental research of issuers to gain a thorough understanding of their business prospects, appreciation potential and return on invested capital. The process they use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis. Financial analysis evaluates an issuer's capital allocation, and provides vital insight into historical and potential return on invested capital which is a key indicator of business quality and caliber of management. Business analysis allows the team to determine an issuer's competitive positioning by identifying key drivers of the issuer, understanding industry challenges and evaluating the sustainability of competitive advantages. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help estimate an issuer's value. The portfolio managers use three primary valuation techniques: discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value. At the conclusion of their research process, the portfolio managers will generally invest in an issuer when they have determined it potentially has high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and is trading at an attractive valuation.

The portfolio managers consider selling a security when it exceeds the target price, has not shown a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals or a more compelling investment opportunity exists.

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:

Cash/Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance.

Debt Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality.

Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund's returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund's ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.

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.

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.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity securities. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund invests in securities that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued based on various valuation measures. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers. In selecting investments, the portfolio managers seek to identify dividend-paying issuers with strong profitability, solid balance sheets and capital allocation policies that support sustained or increasing dividends and share repurchases. Through fundamental research, financial statement analysis and the use of several valuation techniques, the management team estimates a target price for each security over a 2-3 year investment horizon. The portfolio managers manage risk utilizing a valuation framework, careful stock selection and a rigorous buy-and-sell discipline and incorporate an assessment of the potential reward relative to the downside risk to determine a fair valuation over the investment horizon. When evaluating cyclical businesses, the management team seeks companies that have normalized earnings power greater than that implied by their current market valuation and that return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. The portfolio managers then construct a portfolio they believe provides the best total return profile, which is created by seeking a combination of price appreciation potential, dividend income and capital preservation. The portfolio managers maintain a rigorous sell discipline and consider selling or trimming a position in a stock when it no longer materially meets our investment criteria, including when (1) a stock reaches its fair valuation (target price); (2) a company's fundamental business prospects deteriorate; or (3) a more attractive investment opportunity presents itself.

Value Investing Style Risk. The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced.

Fund Summary

Investment Objective(s)

The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Invesco Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the section “Shareholder Account Information-Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” on page A-3 of the prospectus and the section “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares-Purchase and Redemption of Shares” on page L-1 of the statement of additional information (SAI).

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

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:

Expense Example Class A, B, C, P and Y INVESCO SUMMIT FUND (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	651	866	1,098	1,762
Class B	683	866	1,175	1,919
Class C	283	566	975	2,116
Class P	92	287	498	1,108
Class Y	82	255	444	990

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Expense Example, No Redemption Class A, B, C, P and Y INVESCO SUMMIT FUND (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	651	866	1,098	1,762
Class B	183	566	975	1,919
Class C	183	566	975	2,116
Class P	92	287	498	1,108
Class Y	82	255	444	990

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 52% 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 principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock.

The Fund does not invest in companies whose primary business involves alcohol, tobacco or gambling. The Fund invests primarily in securities that are considered by the Fund's portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities.

The Fund's investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), focuses on securities of issuers exhibiting long-term, sustainable earnings and cash flow growth that is not yet reflected in investor expectations or equity valuations. 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 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 their growth prospects, and earning expectations that appear fair to conservative.

The Adviser attempts to limit risk by broadly diversifying the portfolio.

The Adviser considers selling a security when a company hits the price target, if fundamental business prospects deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected in the stock price.

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:

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.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

Performance Information

The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. For more information on the benchmarks used, see the “Benchmark Descriptions” section in the prospectus. 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 Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees	Class S Invesco Charter Fund
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a percentage of original purchase price or redemption proceeds, whichever is less)	none

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Class S Invesco Charter Fund
Management Fees		0.60%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees		0.15%

Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement	[1]	0.02%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement		0.97%

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 equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class S Invesco Charter Fund	99	313	545	1,211

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 23% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The portfolio management team seeks to construct a portfolio of issuers that have high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and which are trading at attractive valuations. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity securities in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however, a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which includes foreign debt and foreign equity securities.

The Fund employs a risk management strategy to help minimize loss of capital and reduce excessive volatility. Pursuant to this strategy, the Fund generally invests a substantial amount of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.

The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market by equitizing cash and as a hedge against downside risk.

The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.

In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio managers conduct fundamental research of issuers to gain a thorough understanding of their business prospects, appreciation potential and return on invested capital. The process they use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis. Financial analysis evaluates an issuer's capital allocation, and provides vital insight into historical and potential return on invested capital which is a key indicator of business quality and caliber of management. Business analysis allows the team to determine an issuer's competitive positioning by identifying key drivers of the issuer, understanding industry challenges and evaluating the sustainability of competitive advantages. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help estimate an issuer's value. The portfolio managers use three primary valuation techniques: discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value. At the conclusion of their research process, the portfolio managers will generally invest in an issuer when they have determined it potentially has high or improving return on invested capital, quality management, a strong competitive position and is trading at an attractive valuation.

The portfolio managers consider selling a security when it exceeds the target price, has not shown a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals or a more compelling investment opportunity exists.

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:

Cash/Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance.

Debt Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality.

Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund's returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund's ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.

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.

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.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

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 equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example Class A, B, C, R, Y and Investor Invesco Diversified Dividend Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	631	805	995	1,540

Class Y	60	191	334	749
Investor Class	79	248	432	965

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Expense Example, No Redemption Class A, B, C, R, Y and Investor Invesco Diversified Dividend Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years

Class Y	60	191	334	749
Investor Class	79	248	432	965

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 6% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity securities. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock.

The Fund invests in securities that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued based on various valuation measures.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers.

In selecting investments, the portfolio managers seek to identify dividend-paying issuers with strong profitability, solid balance sheets and capital allocation policies that support sustained or increasing dividends and share repurchases. Through fundamental research, financial statement analysis and the use of several valuation techniques, the management team estimates a target price for each security over a 2-3 year investment horizon. The portfolio managers manage risk utilizing a valuation framework, careful stock selection and a rigorous buy-and-sell discipline and incorporate an assessment of the potential reward relative to the downside risk to determine a fair valuation over the investment horizon. When evaluating cyclical businesses, the management team seeks companies that have normalized earnings power greater than that implied by their current market valuation and that return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. The portfolio managers then construct a portfolio they believe provides the best total return profile, which is created by seeking a combination of price appreciation potential, dividend income and capital preservation.

The portfolio managers maintain a rigorous sell discipline and consider selling or trimming a position in a stock when it no longer materially meets our investment criteria, including when (1) a stock reaches its fair valuation (target price); (2) a company's fundamental business prospects deteriorate; or (3) a more attractive investment opportunity presents itself.

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:

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.

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.

Value Investing Style Risk. The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced.
