AIM Equity Funds (Invesco Equity Funds)

CIK No. 0000105377

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of AIM Equity Funds (Invesco Equity Funds) (the “Registrant”), attached herewith for filing pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), and Rule 485(a)(2) promulgated thereunder, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is the electronic version of Post-Effective Amendment No. 125/125 (the “Amendment”) to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form N-1A.

This Amendment is being filed in order to register new series of the Registrant as part of Invesco Ltd.’s proposed acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The new funds, listed on Appendix A attached to this letter under AIM Equity Funds (Invesco Equity Funds) (the “New Funds”), are shell series portfolios intended to acquire the assets of the corresponding Oppenheimer funds, also listed on Appendix A (the “Predecessor Funds”), pending necessary approvals including shareholder approval of applicable agreements and plans of reorganization.

Pursuant to Release No. 13768 under the 1940 Act and IM Guidance Update No. 2016-06 released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 15, 2016 (the “Guidance”), the Registrant believes that portions of the Amendment may be eligible for selective review because they are not substantially different from the disclosure previously reviewed by the Commission. In particular, we respectfully request that the Staff selectively review the Amendment because the New Funds contain materially the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risk disclosure as it pertains to the corresponding Predecessor Funds, which disclosure was Previously reviewed by the Staff in connection with Rule 485(a) filings made by such Predecessor Funds, except for the following:

 

   

For New Funds that correspond to Predecessor Funds with 80% policies, we have added the following language to such 80% policies as permitted by Rule 35d-1 and consistent with other Invesco Funds: “and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.”

 

   

We have adopted the standard SAI fundamental and non-fundamental investment restriction language of existing Invesco Funds for consistency across the complex.


It is anticipated that the New Funds will retain the portfolio management teams of the Predecessor Funds and as such, the New Funds are expected to be managed in substantially the same manner as the Predecessor Funds.

Additionally, the Staff Previously reviewed the Registrant’s registration statement in connection with Rule 485(a) filings for AIM Counselor Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) filed on July 10, 2018 and for AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) on December 27, 2017. The provisions in the Registrant’s registration statement in such filings regarding the features of the share classes offered by the Registrant’s series, including provisions related to the purchase, exchange and sale of fund shares and shareholder eligibility (the foregoing are found in the section of the Registrant’s prospectuses labeled “Shareholder Account Information” and the Registrant’s SAI labeled “Appendix L”) are materially the same as those in the Amendment. The Registrant believes that such portions of the Amendment may be eligible for selective review because they are not substantially different from the disclosure previously reviewed by the Commission

Please send copies of all correspondence with respect to the Amendment to the undersigned or contact me at (713) 214-7888.

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Peter Davidson

Peter Davidson
Assistant General Counsel
