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). The table and Examples below do not reflect any transaction fees that may be charged by financial intermediaries, or commissions that a shareholder may be required to pay directly to its financial intermediary when buying or selling Class Y or Class R6 shares.

<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Example.</span>
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. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. 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:
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Portfolio Turnover.</span>
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 28% of the average value of its portfolio.
<span style="color:#0016D7;font-family:Arial;font-size:8.60pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;">Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund</span>
The Fund invests mainly in common stocks of companies that currently pay dividends or are expected to begin paying dividends in the future. The Fund emphasizes investments in companies that are expected to grow their dividends over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies that the portfolio managers expect to experience dividend growth, including companies that currently pay dividends and are expected to increase them and companies that do not currently pay dividends but are expected to begin paying them in the near future, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.The Fund can invest in issuers in all capitalization ranges. Currently, the Fund’s stock investments are focused on large-cap issuers, but that emphasis can change over time. While the Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies, it may also invest in other securities, including foreign stocks, fixed-income instruments, convertible securities, preferred stocks, and derivatives such as covered call options.In selecting investments for the Fund, the Fund uses a “bottom up” approach that focuses on the fundamental prospects of individual companies and issuers. The Fund mainly seeks companies that are believed to possess durable advantages relative to competitors within its industry, as well as whose managers generally prioritize dividend growth relative to other uses of corporate cash flow.
<span style="color:#0016D7;font-family:Arial;font-size:8.60pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;">Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund</span>
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:Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.Investing in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for those types of securities.Industry and Sector Focus. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount of its assets invested in a particular industry or sector. The prices of stocks of issuers in a particular industry or sector may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others. To the extent that the Fund has a significant amount of its assets invested in a particular industry or sector, its share values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. To some extent that risk may be limited by the Fund’s policy of not concentrating its investments in any one industry.Dividend Risk. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the stocks held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if dividends are declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. Depending on market conditions, dividend paying stocks that also meet the Fund’s investment criteria may not be widely available for purchase by the Fund. This may increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns and may limit the ability of the Fund to produce current income while remaining fully diversified. High-dividend stocks may not experience high earnings growth or capital appreciation. The Fund’s performance during a broad market advance could suffer because dividend paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation as non-dividend paying stocks.Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risks. Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all. The Fund measures the market capitalization of an issuer at the time of investment.Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the performance of the Oppenheimer Rising Dividends Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund.The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Class R5 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from Class A shares’ returns of the Fund and the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Performance for Class A shares has been restated to reflect the Fund’s applicable sales charge.Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.
