(INVESCO LETTERHEAD)
   
 
[January ___], 2011
Dear Shareholder,
On June 1, Invesco completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments.
The Invesco and Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley retail investment capabilities were highly complementary, enabling Invesco to provide a more balanced product offering to Invesco Funds’ shareholders. As a result of the combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. Value Equity, U.S. Small Cap Growth Equity, Tax-Free Municipals, Bank Loans and others. With this enhanced expertise and a comprehensive range of diverse investment capabilities, Invesco is better positioned than ever to meet the needs of investors across the U.S. and around the globe.
Since June 1, Invesco has been conducting a comprehensive review of its product line to sharpen its offerings to investors. A key goal of this effort is to reduce overlap and enhance efficiency across the product line for the benefit of Invesco Funds’ shareholders and Invesco.
As the next step in the process of integrating the combined business, the Invesco Funds Boards have approved a realignment of fund offerings, subject to shareholder approval. If approved by shareholders, the proposed realignment will:
  §   Distinguish and emphasize Invesco’s most compelling investment processes and strategies;
 
  §   Reduce overlap in the product lineup to help lower costs for shareholders; and
 
  §   Build a solid foundation for further growth to meet client and shareholder needs.
In addition, most Funds will continue to be managed by their existing investment management teams post-reorganization and many shareholders will experience a reduction in total expense ratio, decreasing the cost of their investment. In cases where management fee expenses are scheduled to increase as a result of a proposed reorganization, Invesco has instituted a cap on the total expense ratio of the Acquiring Fund intended to preserve the lowest current expense ratio of all Target Funds in each proposed set of reorganizations for a period of time post reorganization.
The independent trustees of your Board believe that the reorganization proposed in this proxy is in the best interest of your Fund and the attached proxy seeks your vote in favor of the proposed reorganization.
Your vote is important. Please take a moment after reviewing the enclosed materials to sign and return your proxy card in the enclosed postage paid return envelope. If you attend the meeting, you may vote your shares in person. If you expect to attend the meeting in person, or have questions, please notify us by calling 1-800-959-4226. You may also vote your shares by telephone or through a website established for that purpose by following the instructions that appear on the enclosed proxy card. If we do not hear from you after a reasonable amount of time, you may receive a telephone call from our proxy solicitor, Computershare Fund Services, Inc., reminding you to vote your shares.
Sincerely,
Mr. Philip Taylor
President and Principal Executive Officer

PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
January__, 2011
Introduction
     This Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information that shareholders of the Invesco Van Kampen Harbor Fund (the “Target Fund”), a series of AIM Growth Series (Invesco Growth Series) (the “Trust”) should know before voting on the proposed reorganization that is described herein, and should be retained for future reference. This document is both the proxy statement of the Target Fund and also a prospectus for Invesco Convertible Securities Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), which is also a series of the Trust. The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are series of a registered open-end management investment company. The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund collectively are referred to as the “Funds” and to each fund individually as a “Fund.”
     A special meeting of the shareholders of the Target Fund (the “Meeting”) will be held at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77046 on April 14, 2011 at 3:00 p.m., Central time. At the Meeting, shareholders of the Target Fund are being asked to consider the following proposal:
To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, providing for: (a) the acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of a corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund; (b) the distribution of such shares of the corresponding class to the shareholders of the Target Fund; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the Target Fund (the “Reorganization”).
     The total value of the Acquiring Fund shares of each class that shareholders will receive in the Reorganization will be the same as the total value of the shares of each class of the Target Fund that shareholders held immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Reorganization is anticipated to be a tax-free transaction, meaning that shareholders should not be required to pay any federal income tax in connection with the Reorganization. No sales charges or redemption fees will be imposed in connection with the Reorganization.
     The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on January 14, 2011 as the record date (“Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Shareholders of the Target Fund on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share of the Target Fund held (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share). This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the enclosed Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed proxy card will be mailed on or about January __, 2011 to all shareholders eligible to vote on the Reorganization.
     The Board has approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and will not dilute the interests of the existing shareholders of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund. If shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization, the Board will consider what further action is appropriate for the Fund.
     Additional information about the Funds is available in the:
    Prospectuses for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund;
 
    Annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund; and

PROPOSAL: TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
     Shareholders of the Target Fund are being asked to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) that will have the effect of reorganizing the Target Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund, as summarized below. The Agreement provides for (a) the acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of a corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund; (b) the distribution of such shares of the corresponding class to the shareholders of the Target Fund; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the Target Fund.
SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION
     The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in the Agreement, and/or in the prospectuses and SAIs of the Funds. Shareholders should read the entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the prospectus of the Acquiring Fund carefully for more complete information.
On what am I being asked to vote?
     As a shareholder of the Target Fund, you are being asked to consider and vote to approve the Agreement under which the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund will be transferred to the Acquiring Fund.
     If shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Agreement, shares of each class of the Target Fund will be exchanged for Acquiring Fund shares of the corresponding class of equal value, which will result in your holding shares of the Acquiring Fund equal to the value of your shares of the corresponding class of the Target Fund, and the Target Fund will be liquidated and terminated.
Has my Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the Reorganization?
     Yes. The Board has carefully reviewed the proposal and unanimously approved the Agreement and the Reorganization. The Board recommends that shareholders of the Target Fund vote in favor of the Agreement.
What are the reasons for the proposed Reorganization?
     On June 1, 2010, Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), the indirect parent company of Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser (“Invesco Advisers” or “Adviser”), acquired the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley, which included 92 Morgan Stanley and Van Kampen branded funds. This transaction filled gaps in Invesco’s product line-up and has enabled the company to expand its investment offerings to retail customers. The transaction also resulted in significant product overlap. The Reorganization proposed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is part of a larger group of reorganizations across Invesco’s mutual fund platform. The reorganizations are designed to put forth Invesco’s most compelling investment processes and strategies, reduce product overlap and create scale in the resulting funds to help reduce the shareholders’ cost of ownership.
     In considering the Reorganization and Agreement, the Board considered these and other factors in concluding that the Reorganization would be in the best interest of the Funds. The Board’s considerations are described in more detail in the “THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION — Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization” section below.
What effect will the Reorganization have on me as a shareholder?
     Immediately after the Reorganization, you will hold shares of a class of the Acquiring Fund that are equal in value to the shares of the corresponding class of the Target Fund that you held immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization. The principal differences between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The prospectus of the Acquiring Fund that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains additional information about the Acquiring Fund that you will hold shares of following the Reorganization, if approved.

Table of Contents

How do the Funds’ investment objectives, principal investment strategies and risks compare?
     The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund have similar investment objectives, as described below. Each Fund’s investment objective is classified as non-fundamental, which means that it can be changed by the Board without shareholder approval, although there is no present intention to do so.
     
Investment Objectives
Target Fund   Acquiring Fund
Current income, capital appreciation and conservation of capital.
  High level of total return on assets through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.
     The principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund are similar to the principal investment strategies of the Target Fund, although the Acquiring Fund may invest in different types of investments and have different investment policies and limitations than the Target Fund. As a result, the risks of owning shares of the Acquiring Fund are similar to the risks of owning shares of the Target Fund, although the risks of the Funds may not be exactly the same. The sections below entitled “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS — Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies” and “Comparison of the Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds” compare the principal investment strategies and risks of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and highlight certain key differences.
How do the Funds’ expenses compare?
     The tables below provide a summary comparison of the expenses of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, as well as estimated expenses on a pro forma basis giving effect to the proposed Reorganization. The pro forma expense ratios show projected estimated expenses but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

*   Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses for the most recent fiscal year (as disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses) of the Target Fund (December 31, 2009) and the Acquiring Fund (September 30, 2009). Pro forma numbers are estimated as if the Reorganization had been completed as of October 1, 2008 and do not include the estimated costs of the Reorganization. The Target Fund is not expected to bear any Reorganization costs. For more information on the costs of the Reorganization to be borne by the Funds, see “Costs of the Reorganization” below.
 
  As of September 30, 2010, Institutional Class shares of the Acquiring Fund did not exist. Institutional Class shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in connection with the Reorganization.

2.   Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 1.11%, Class B shares to 1.86%, Class C shares to 1.86%, Class Y shares to 0.86% and Institutional Class shares to 0.86% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board and Invesco Advisers mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
 
3.   Effective upon the closing of the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 1.11%, Class B shares to 1.86%, Class C shares to 1.86%, Class Y shares to 0.86% and Institutional Class shares to 0.86% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board and Invesco Advisers mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Expense Example
     This Example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in different classes of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Pro forma combined costs of investing in different classes of the Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund are also provided. All costs are based upon the information set forth in the Fee Table above.

     The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and shows the expenses that you would pay if you redeem all of your shares at the end of those time periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that are contractual, if any, but does not reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. To the extent fees are waived and/or expenses are reimbursed on a voluntary basis, your expenses will be lower. Although your actual returns and costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

     The performance history of each Fund for certain periods as of September 30, 2010 is shown below. The returns below may not be indicative of a Fund’s future performance. The table below compares the performance history of the Acquiring Fund’s oldest share class to the performance history of the comparable class of the Target Fund as of September 30, 2010. Since inception performance is only provided for share classes with less than 10 years of performance history. Other classes of shares that are not presented would have had substantially similar annual returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns will differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses. The prospectuses for the Funds contain additional performance information under the headings “Performance Information” and “Financial Highlights.” Additional performance information and a discussion of performance are also included in each Fund’s most recent annual report to shareholders.

1.   The returns shown for periods prior to June 1, 2010 are those of the Class B shares of a predecessor fund that was advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. and was reorganized into the Acquiring Fund on June 1, 2010. The returns shown for periods after June 1, 2010 are those of the Acquiring Fund. The returns of the Acquiring Fund are different from the predecessor fund as they had different expenses and sales charges.
 
2.   The returns shown for periods prior to June 1, 2010 are those of the Class B shares of a predecessor fund that was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management and was reorganized into the Target Fund on June 1, 2010. The returns shown for periods after June 1, 2010 are those of the Target Fund. The returns of the Target Fund are different from the predecessor fund as they had different expenses and sales charges.
     After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
How do the management, investment manager and other service providers of the Funds compare?
     Each Fund is overseen by the same Board and officers. In addition, Invesco Advisers, a registered investment adviser, serves as primary investment adviser for each Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement that contains substantially identical terms (except for fees) for each Fund. The effective advisory fee for the Acquiring Fund at current breakpoint levels is lower than the effective advisory fee of the Target Fund. However, the effective advisory fee of the Acquiring Fund at certain breakpoint levels is higher than the effective advisory fee of the Target Fund. Invesco Advisers is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. Invesco Advisers has acted as an investment adviser since its organization in 1976. As of September 30, 2010, Invesco Advisers had $300.3 billion under management. Invesco Advisers is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco.
     The advisory agreement applicable to the Funds provides that Invesco Advisers may delegate any and all of its rights, duties and obligations to one or more wholly owned affiliates of Invesco as sub-advisers (the “Invesco Sub-Advisers”). Pursuant to Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contracts, the Invesco Sub-Advisers may be appointed by Invesco Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to a Fund. The Invesco Sub-Advisers, each of which is an

  Invesco Australia Limited;
 
  Invesco Trimark Ltd.
 
  Invesco Hong Kong Limited;
 
  Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited;
 
  Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and
     Other key service providers to the Target Fund, including the administrator, transfer agent, custodian, distributor and auditor, provide the same or substantially the same services to the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund’s prospectus and SAI describe the services and other arrangements with these service providers.
How do the Funds’ purchase and redemption procedures, distribution policies and exchange policies compare?
     The sales charges, sales charge exemptions, distribution and servicing arrangements, purchase and redemption procedures and exchange policies are generally similar. For more information see the section entitled “Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements.”
Will the Acquiring Fund have different portfolio managers than the Target Fund?
     No. The portfolio management team for the Target Fund is the same as the portfolio management team for the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund prospectus that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides biographical information about the key individuals that comprise the portfolio management team for the Acquiring Fund.
Will there be any tax consequences resulting from the proposal?
     The Reorganization is designed to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and the Target Fund anticipates receiving a legal opinion to that effect. Thus, while there can be no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will adopt a similar position, it is expected that shareholders will have no adverse federal income tax consequences as a result of the Reorganization. Shareholders should consult their tax adviser about state and local tax consequences of the Reorganization, if any, because the information about tax consequences in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization only.
When is the Reorganization expected to occur?
     If shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Reorganization, it is anticipated that the Reorganization will occur on or about May 2, 2011.
How do I vote on the Reorganization?
     There are several ways you can vote your shares, including in person at the Meeting, by mail, by telephone or via the Internet. The proxy card that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides detailed instructions on how you may vote your shares. If you properly fill in and sign your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote at the Meeting, your “proxy” (the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign your proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares FOR the proposal, as recommended by the Board, and in their best judgment on other matters.

What will happen if shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization?
     If the shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization, the Target Fund’s Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Target Fund.
What if I do not wish to participate in the Reorganization?
     If you do not wish to have your shares of the Target Fund exchanged for shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization that is approved by shareholders, you may redeem your shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you will incur any applicable deferred sales charge and if you hold shares in a taxable account, you will recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them.
Why are you sending me the Proxy Statement/Prospectus?
     You are receiving this Proxy Statement/Prospectus because you own shares in the Target Fund as of the Record Date and have the right to vote on the very important proposal described herein concerning the Target Fund. This Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information that shareholders of the Target Fund should know before voting on the proposed Reorganization. This document is both a proxy statement of the Target Fund and also a prospectus for the Acquiring Fund.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies
     The following section compares the principal investment strategies of the Target Fund with the principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund and highlights any key differences. In addition to the principal investment strategies described below, each Fund is also subject to certain additional investment policies and limitations, which are described in each Fund’s prospectus and SAI. The cover page of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes how you can obtain copies of these documents. A comparison of the principal risks associated with the Funds’ investment strategies is described below under “Comparison of Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds.”
     Investment Strategies. The Acquiring Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in convertible securities. The Target Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing principally in a portfolio of debt securities, primarily convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks. Under normal market conditions, the Target Fund invests at least 50% of its total assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and government securities) in convertible debt securities.
A convertible security is a bond, preferred stock or other security that may be converted into a prescribed amount of common stock at a prestated price. The Adviser may retain that common stock in the Acquiring Fund’s portfolio to permit its orderly sale or to establish long-term holding periods for tax purposes. The Acquiring Fund is not required to sell the common stock to assure that the required percentage of its assets is invested in convertible securities.
The Acquiring Fund’s convertible securities may include lower rated fixed-income securities commonly known as junk bonds. The Target Fund may invest without limitations as to credit ratings, and such investments may include high, medium and lower rated and unrated securities. The Acquiring Fund also may invest in exchangeable and synthetic convertible securities. Unlike traditional convertible securities whose conversion values are based on the common stock of the issuer of the convertible security, synthetic and exchangeable convertible securities are

11


Table of Contents

preferred stocks or debt obligations of an issuer that are combined with an equity component whose conversion value is based on the value of the common stock of a different issuer or a particular benchmark (which may include a foreign issuer or basket of foreign stocks, or a company whose stock is not yet publicly traded).
In deciding which securities to buy, hold or sell, the Acquiring Fund’s Adviser considers market, economic and political conditions. Through careful selection of individual securities, diversification of investments and by continuing supervision of the investment portfolio, the Adviser seeks to provide the Target Fund’s shareholders with income and capital appreciation while striving to reduce risk and conserve shareholder capital. The Adviser emphasizes income-producing securities of companies whose common stocks are believed to have good prospects for capital appreciation and seeks to identify companies with improving fundamentals, strong earnings growth, increasing market share and attractive valuations that are likely to provide the Target Fund’s investors with equity participation through the issuance of convertible securities. The Funds generally sell securities when the Adviser determines that such securities no longer meet the Funds’ investment criteria.
The remaining 20% of the Acquiring Fund’s assets may be invested in common stocks directly, non-convertible preferred stock, non-convertible fixed-income securities and foreign securities (including depositary receipts). The Acquiring Fund’s fixed-income investments may include zero coupon securities, which are purchased at a discount and generally accrue interest, but make no payment until maturity. The Target Fund may invest up to 45% of its total assets in common stocks and up to 25% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers. The Target Fund may also invest in issuers in developing or emerging market countries.
The Acquiring Fund may also utilize derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Target Fund may purchase and sell options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts, which are derivatives, for various portfolio management purposes, including to earn income, to facilitate portfolio management and to mitigate risks. In general terms, a derivative instrument is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index.
Comparison of Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds
     The table below describes the principal risks that may affect each Fund’s investment portfolio. For more information on the risks associated with the Acquiring Fund, see the “Investment Strategies and Risks” section of the Acquiring Fund’s SAI.
     
Principal Risk   Funds Subject to Risk
Convertible Securities. Investments in convertible securities subject the Funds to the risks associated with both fixed-income securities, including credit risk and interest rate risk, and common stocks. A portion of the Funds’ convertible securities may be rated below investment grade and therefore subject to lower rated securities risk. The Acquiring Fund is subject to the additional risk that exchangeable and synthetic convertible securities may be more volatile and less liquid than traditional convertible securities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security.
  Acquiring Fund
Target Fund
 
   
Fixed-Income Securities. All fixed-income securities are subject to two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. The issuer of instruments in which the Funds invest may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
  Acquiring Fund
Target Fund
 
   
Lower Rated Securities (Junk Bonds). Lower rated fixed-income securities (commonly known as junk bonds) are subject to greater risk of loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. The prices of junk bonds are likely to be more sensitive to adverse economic changes or individual corporate developments and

Principal Risk   Funds Subject to Risk
may be subject to a greater risk of default than higher-rated securities. During an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, junk bond issuers and, in particular, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress.
   
 
   
Market Risk. Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Funds will decline. Investments in common stocks and other equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. In general, stock and other equity securities values fluctuate in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of such securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities.
  Acquiring Fund
Target Fund
 
   
Call Risk. If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of callable securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would likely be reinvested by the Funds in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Funds’ income and distributions to shareholders and termination of any conversion option on convertible securities.
  Acquiring Fund
Target Fund
 
   
Income Risk. The interest income on debt securities, including convertible bonds, generally is affected by prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short- and long-term. The ability of equity securities to generate income generally depends on the earnings and continuing declaration of dividends by the issuers of such securities. If interest rates drop or dividends are reduced or discontinued, distributions to shareholders from the Funds may drop as well.
  Acquiring Fund
Target Fund
 
   
Foreign Risks. Because the Funds may own securities of foreign issuers, they may be subject to risks that can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. The Target Fund may also invest in issuers in developing or emerging market countries, which are subject to greater risks than investments in securities of issuers in developed countries.
  Acquiring Fund
Target Fund
 
   
Risks of Derivatives. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, risks of default by the other party to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

Comparison of Fundamental and Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions
     Each Fund has adopted fundamental investment restrictions concerning, among other things, diversification of the Fund’s investment portfolio, concentration in particular industries, borrowing and loaning money, and investing in real estate and commodities. Fundamental investment restrictions of a Fund cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions of the Target Fund and those of the Acquiring Fund are the same. Non-fundamental investment restrictions of a Fund can be changed by a Fund’s Board.
     Both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund may be subject to other investment restrictions that are not identified above. A full description of the Target Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s investment policies and restrictions may be found in its respective SAI.

Table of Contents

Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements
     Each share class of the Target Fund will be reorganized into a specific share class of the Acquiring Fund. The following sub-sections identify the Acquiring Fund share class that corresponds with the Target Fund share class as well as the different distribution arrangements among the various share classes.
     Class Structure. The Funds each offer multiple share classes. Each such class offers a distinct structure of sales charges, distribution and/or service fees, and reductions and waivers thereto, which are designed to address a variety of shareholder servicing needs. In addition, some share classes have certain eligibility requirements that must be met to invest in that class of shares. The eligibility requirements are the same for each Fund and are described in the Funds’ prospectuses.
     The share classes offered by the Target Fund and the corresponding share classes of the Acquiring Fund that Target Fund shareholders will receive in connection with the Reorganization are as follows:
     
Target Fund Share Classes   Acquiring Fund Share Classes
Class A
  Class A
Class B
  Class B
Class C
  Class C
Class Y
  Class Y
Institutional Class
  Institutional Class*
 
*   Institutional Class shares will not be issued until the Closing.
     Neither Fund currently offers Class B shares to new investors. Existing investors of the Target Fund that owned Class B shares before their closure will continue to receive reinvested dividends in the form of new Class B shares but may no longer add to their existing positions in Class B shares. Shareholders who receive Class B shares in connection with the Reorganization may continue to hold those shares and reinvest dividends until the scheduled conversion date of the Class B shares to Class A shares but may not purchase new Class B shares.
     Sales Charges. The sales charge schedule (if any) of the share classes of the Target Fund are substantially the same as the sales charge schedule (if any) of the corresponding share classes of the Acquiring Fund. Class A shares of each Fund are sold with an initial sales charge that ranges from 5.50% to zero depending on the amount of your investment. Class B and Class C shares of each Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that may be imposed when the shares are sold. Class A shares may also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more if redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase. Each Fund offers reductions and waivers of the initial sales charge and contingent deferred sale charge to certain eligible investors or under certain circumstances, which are substantially the same between the Funds. Class Y and Institutional Class shares are sold without any initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Each share class except Class Y and Institutional Class imposes an asset based sales charge or service fee under one or more plans adopted by the Board, which are described in the following section. The Funds’ prospectuses describe the sales charge schedules and applicable waivers and exemptions of each such share class.
     You will not pay an initial sales charge on Acquiring Fund Class A shares that you receive in connection with the Reorganization. In addition, the exchange of Class A shares, Class B shares or Class C shares of the Target Fund for corresponding classes of the Acquiring Fund at the consummation of the Reorganization will not result in the imposition of any contingent deferred sales charge that applies to those share classes. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, former Target Fund shareholders of Class A shares, Class B shares or Class C shares will be credited for the period of time from their original date of purchase of the Target Fund Class A shares, Class B shares or Class C shares for purposes of determining the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge that may be due upon subsequent redemption, if any. In addition, the CDSC schedule that applies to the Class B shares of the Target Fund that you own will continue to apply to the Class B shares of the Acquiring Fund that you receive in the Reorganization. The Acquiring Fund initial sales charges for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges that apply to Class A shares and Class C shares will apply to any Class A shares or Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund purchased after the Reorganization, unless you are eligible for a reduction or waiver of the initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

     Distribution Fees. The Funds have adopted distribution plans and service plans (together, the “Distribution Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”) with respect to each of their Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Class Y and Institutional Class shares of the Funds are not subject to the Distribution Plans.
     Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, each Fund is authorized to make payments to Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), the Funds’ principal underwriter, in connection with the distribution of Fund shares and providing shareholder services at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares and at the annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing limits, however, IDI may be reimbursed from a Fund only up to the amount it has spent on activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of shares or the servicing of shareholders. This limitation may result in a share class of a Fund paying less than the maximum amounts noted above in a particular year.
     The fee table under the “SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION — How do the Funds’ expenses compare” section of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes the fees paid under each Fund’s 12b-1 Plan for a recent period as well as an estimate of the fees to be paid under the Acquiring Fund’s Distribution Plan following the Reorganization.
Comparison of Purchase and Redemption Procedures
     The purchase procedures employed by the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are substantially the same. Each Fund offers shares through its distributor on a continuous basis. Shares of the Funds may be purchased directly through the transfer agent and through other authorized financial intermediaries. Investors may purchase both initial and additional shares by mail, wire, telephone or the internet. The Acquiring Fund prospectus enclosed with this Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes in detail how shareholders can purchase Acquiring Fund shares. Class A, Class B (closed to new investments, except dividend reinvestments), Class C and Class Y shares of the Funds require a minimum investment of $1,000 ($250 for IRA, Roth IRA, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts). Institutional Class shares of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund each require a minimum initial investment that ranges from $0 to $10 million, depending on the type of account making the investment. The Acquiring Fund’s prospectus describes the types of account to which the minimum initial investment applies. For accounts participating in a systematic investment program, the minimum investment is $50 ($25 for IRA, Roth IRA, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts). Certain exemptions apply as set forth in the Funds’ prospectuses. The foregoing investment minimums will not apply to shares received in connection with the Reorganization. However, investors may be charged a small-account fee if account balances remain below the required investment minimum for certain periods. See the Funds’ prospectuses for details.
Comparison of Distribution Policies
     The Funds declare and pay dividends of net investment income, if any, quarterly, and capital gains distributions, if any, at least annually. Each Fund may also declare and pay capital gains distributions more than once per year as permitted by law. Each Fund automatically reinvests any dividends from net investment income or capital gains distributions, unless otherwise instructed by a shareholder to pay dividends and distributions in cash.
Forms of Organization and Securities to be Issued
     The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund are series of the same Delaware statutory trust, with the same governing instruments, including the declaration of trust and bylaws. As a result, there are no material differences between the rights of shareholders under the governing state laws of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund. Each share of the Acquiring Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the Fund, and each such share is entitled to equal dividend, liquidation, redemption and voting rights, except where class voting is required by the Trust’s governing instruments, the Board or applicable law, in which case shareholders of a class will have exclusive voting rights on matters affecting only that class. The assets and liabilities of each Fund are legally separate from the assets and liabilities of any other fund that is a series of the respective Trust. More information about the voting, dividend and other rights associated with shares of the Funds can be found in each Fund’s SAI.

Pending Litigation
     Civil lawsuits, including a regulatory proceeding and purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain Invesco Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”) (the former investment adviser to certain funds), a predecessor to Invesco Advisers, IDI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging among other things: (i) that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the funds; and (ii) that certain funds inadequately employed fair value pricing. You can find more detailed information concerning all of the above matters, including the parties to the civil lawsuits and summaries of the various allegations and remedies sought in such lawsuits, in the Acquiring Fund’s SAI.

     For more information with respect to each Fund concerning the following topics, please refer to the following sections of the Funds’ prospectuses: (i) see “Fund Management” for more information about the management of a Fund; (ii) see “Other Information” for more information about a Fund’s policy with respect to dividends and distributions; and (iii) see “Shareholder Account Information” for more information about the pricing, purchase, redemption and repurchase of shares of a Fund, tax consequences to shareholders of various transactions in shares of a Fund, and distribution arrangements of a Fund.
THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
Summary of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
     The terms and conditions under which the Reorganization may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
     With respect to the Reorganization, if shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Agreement and other closing conditions are satisfied, the assets of the Target Fund will be delivered to the Acquiring Fund’s custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of liabilities of the Target Fund and delivery by the Acquiring Fund to the holders of record as of the Effective Time (as defined below) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Fund of a number of shares of the Acquiring Fund (including, if applicable, fractional shares rounded to the nearest thousandth), having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the net assets of the Target Fund so transferred, all determined and adjusted as provided in the Agreement. The value of your account with the Acquiring Fund immediately after the Reorganization will be the same as the value of your account with the Target Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization.
     The class or classes of Acquiring Fund shares that shareholders will receive in connection with the Reorganization will be the corresponding class or classes of Target Fund shares that shareholders hold, as described above under “Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements.”
     The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund have made representations and warranties in the form of Agreement that are customary in matters such as the Reorganization.
     If shareholders approve the Reorganization and if all of the closing conditions set forth in the Agreement are satisfied or waived, consummation of the Reorganization (the “Closing”) is expected to occur on or about May 2, 2011, (the “Closing Date”) immediately prior to the opening of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”). Following receipt of the requisite shareholder vote in favor of the Reorganization and as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the outstanding shares of the Target Fund will be terminated in accordance with its governing documents and applicable law.
     If shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Agreement or if the Reorganization does not otherwise close, the Board of the Trust will consider what additional action to take. The Agreement may be terminated and the Reorganization may be abandoned at any time by mutual agreement of the parties. The Agreement may be amended or modified in a writing signed by the parties to the Agreement.

Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization
     As discussed above, on June 1, 2010, Invesco acquired the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley, which included 92 Morgan Stanley and Van Kampen branded funds. This transaction filled gaps in Invesco’s product line-up and has enabled Invesco to expand its investment offerings to retail customers. The transaction also resulted in significant product overlap. The Reorganization proposed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is part of a larger group of reorganizations across Invesco’s mutual fund platform. The reorganizations are designed to put forth Invesco’s most compelling investment processes and strategies, reduce product overlap and create scale in the resulting funds.
     Because of the large number of proposed reorganizations, each Board of Trustees of the Invesco Funds created an ad hoc committee comprised of both Invesco Fund trustees and Van Kampen legacy trustees (the “Ad Hoc Merger Committees”). The Ad Hoc Merger Committee of the Board met separately three times, from September 2, 2010 through October 13, 2010 to discuss the proposed Reorganization. Two separate meetings of the full Board were also held to review and consider the Reorganization, including presentations by the Ad Hoc Merger Committee. The trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) held a separate meeting prior to the meeting of the full Board to consider these matters. The Independent Trustees have been advised on this matter by independent counsel to the Independent Trustees and by the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Trust who reports directly to the Independent Trustees. The Board requested and received from Invesco Advisers and IDI written materials containing relevant information about the Funds and the proposed Reorganization, including fee and expense information on an actual and pro forma estimated basis, and comparative portfolio composition and performance data.
     The Board considered the potential benefits and costs of the Reorganization to the Target Fund, Acquiring Fund and their respective shareholders. The Board reviewed detailed information comparing the following information for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund: (1) investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (2) portfolio management; (3) portfolio composition; (4) the comparative short-term and long-term investment performance; (5) the current expense ratios and expense structures, including contractual investment advisory fees; (6) the expected federal income tax consequences to the Funds, including any impact on capital loss carry forwards; and (7) relative asset size and net purchase (redemption) trends. The Board also considered the benefits to the Target Fund of (i) combining with a similar Fund to create a larger fund with a more diversified shareholder base that may also achieve certain economies of scale as certain fixed expenses are allocated over a larger asset base, (ii) Invesco Advisers’ paying the expenses related to the Reorganization for the Target Fund, (iii) Invesco Advisers’ agreement to cap expenses of the Acquiring Fund for one year after the Closing, and (iv) the expected tax free nature of the Reorganization for the Target Fund and its shareholders for federal income tax purposes. The Board also considered the overall goal of the reorganizations to rationalize the Invesco Funds to enable IDI to better focus on the combined funds to promote additional asset growth.
     With respect to the proposed Reorganization, the Board further considered that (i) Target Fund shareholders would become shareholders of a Fund with a lower effective management fee at current asset levels, although the management fee for the Acquiring Fund may be higher than that of the Target Fund at certain breakpoint levels (ii) Target Fund shareholders would become shareholders of a Fund with an estimated lower overall total expense ratio on a pro forma basis; (iii) the Funds have the same portfolio management team; (iv) the investment objective, strategies and related risks of the Funds are similar; and (v) Invesco Advisers’ agreement to limit the Acquiring Fund’s total expenses through June 30, 2012 so that after fee waivers, expenses do not exceed those of the Target Fund as set forth in the fee table above.
     Based upon the information and considerations described above, the Board, on behalf of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, approved the Reorganization in order to combine the Target Fund with a similar Fund in terms of investment objectives, strategies and risks, portfolio management and portfolio composition to create a larger fund with a relatively more diversified shareholder base. The Board also determined that shareholders of the Funds could potentially benefit from the growth in assets realized by the Reorganization, with the potential to achieve certain economies of scale. The Board concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund and that no dilution of value would result to the shareholders of the Target Fund or Acquiring Fund from the Reorganization. Consequently, the Board approved the Agreement and the Reorganization on October 27, 2010.

Table of Contents

Federal Income Tax Considerations
     The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Reorganization and is based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the existing U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings of the IRS and published judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change. These considerations are general in nature and individual shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax considerations applicable to them and their individual circumstances. These same considerations generally do not apply to shareholders who hold their shares in a tax-deferred account.
     The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code. The principal federal income tax considerations that are expected to result from the Reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund are as follows:
    no gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund or the shareholders of the Target Fund as a result of the Reorganization;
 
    no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund as a result of the Reorganization;
 
    the aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be received by a shareholder of the Target Fund will be the same as the shareholder’s aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Target Fund; and
 
    the holding period of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by a shareholder of the Target Fund will include the period that a shareholder held the shares of the Target Fund (provided that such shares of the Target Fund are capital assets in the hands of such shareholder as of the Closing).
     Neither the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund have requested or will request an advance ruling from the IRS as to the federal tax consequences of the Reorganization. As a condition to Closing, Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP will render a favorable opinion to the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund as to the foregoing federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, which opinion will be conditioned upon, among other things, the accuracy, as of the Effective Time, of certain representations of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund upon which Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP will rely in rendering its opinion. A copy of the opinion will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be available for public inspection. See “WHERE TO FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.”
     Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or the courts. If the Reorganization is consummated but the IRS or the courts determine that the Reorganization does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, and thus is taxable, the Target Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund and each shareholder of the Target Fund would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Target Fund shares and the fair market value of the shares of the Acquiring Fund it receives.
     Prior to the Closing of the Reorganization, the Target Fund will distribute, and the Acquiring Fund may distribute, to their respective shareholders any undistributed income and gains (net of available capital loss carryovers) to the extent required to avoid entity level tax or as otherwise deemed desirable. Such distributions, if made, are anticipated to be made in the 2011 calendar year and would be taxable to shareholders in such year.
     The tax attributes, including capital loss carryovers, of the Target Fund move to the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization. The capital loss carryovers of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are available to offset future gains recognized by the combined Fund, subject to limitations under the Code. The Acquiring Fund will succeed to the capital losses of the Target Fund, subject to limitations. Where these limitations apply, all or a portion of a Fund’s capital loss carryovers may become unavailable, the effect of which may be to accelerate the recognition of taxable gain to the combined Fund and its shareholders post-Closing. However, it is not anticipated that these limitations on use of a Fund’s capital loss carryovers, if any, would be material, although that depends on the facts at time of Closing the Reorganization. For more information with respect to each Fund’s capital loss carryovers, please refer to the Fund’s shareholder report.

Table of Contents

     In addition, if the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization has proportionately greater unrealized appreciation in its portfolio investments as a percentage of its net asset value than the Target Fund, shareholders of the Target Fund, post-Closing, may receive greater amounts of taxable gain as such portfolio investments are sold than they otherwise might have if the Reorganization had not occurred. The Target Fund’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments on a tax basis as a percentage of its net asset value at June 30, 2010 is 2% compared to the Acquiring Fund at March 31, 2010 of 10%, and on a combined basis of 4%.
     After the Reorganization, shareholders will continue to be responsible for tracking the adjusted tax basis and holding period of their shares for federal income tax purposes.
Costs of the Reorganization
     The total cost of the Reorganization to be paid by the Acquiring Fund is estimated to be $30,000. The estimated total costs of the Reorganization for the Target Fund, as well as the estimated proxy solicitation costs for the Target Fund, which are part of the total Reorganization costs, are set forth in the table below.

Target Fund
  $ 154,000     $ 200,000     $ 0  
     Where the Target Fund is not paying Reorganization costs, Invesco Advisers will bear these costs. The costs of the Reorganization include legal counsel fees, independent accountant fees, expenses related to the printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and fees associated with the proxy solicitation but do not include any portfolio transaction costs arising from the Reorganization.
VOTING INFORMATION
Proxy Statement/Prospectus
     We are sending you this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the enclosed proxy card because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournments of the Meeting. This Proxy Statement/Prospectus gives you information about the business to be conducted at the Meeting. Target Fund shareholders may vote by appearing in person at the Meeting and following the instructions below. You do not need to attend the Meeting to vote, however. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by telephone or through a website established for that purpose.
     This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the enclosed Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed proxy card are expected to be mailed on or about January ___, 2011 to all shareholders entitled to vote. Shareholders of record of the Target Fund as of the close of business on January 14, 2011 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The number of outstanding shares of each class of the Target Fund on December 15, 2010 can be found in Exhibit A. Each share is entitled to one vote for each full share held, and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held.
     Proxies will have the authority to vote and act on behalf of shareholders at any adjournment of the Meeting. If a proxy is authorized to vote for a shareholder, the shareholder may revoke the authorization at any time before it is exercised by sending in another proxy card with a later date or by notifying the Secretary of the Target Fund in writing at the address of the Target Fund set forth on the cover page of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus before the Meeting that the shareholder has revoked its proxy. In addition, although merely attending the Meeting will not revoke your proxy, if a shareholder is present at the Meeting, the shareholder may withdraw the proxy and vote in person. However, if your shares are held through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from them in order to vote your shares at the Meeting.

Table of Contents

Quorum Requirement and Adjournment
     A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid shareholder meeting of the Target Fund. For the Target Fund, a quorum will exist if shareholders representing one-third of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund entitled to vote are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.
     Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” the Agreement. Because the proposal described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is considered “non-routine,” under the rules applicable to broker-dealers, if your broker holds your shares in its name, the broker will not be entitled to vote your shares if it has not received instructions from you.
     Abstentions will count as shares present at the Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the Agreement are not received, the person(s) presiding over the Meeting or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to allow for further solicitation of votes. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote in favor of such an adjournment, provided that they determine that such an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interest of shareholders based on a consideration of all relevant factors, including, among other things, the percentage of votes then cast, the percentage of negative votes then cast, the nature of the proposed solicitation activities and the nature of the reasons for such further solicitation.
Vote Necessary to Approve the Agreement
     The Board has unanimously approved the Agreement, subject to shareholder approval. Shareholder approval of the Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.
     Abstentions are counted as present but are not considered votes cast at the Meeting. Abstentions therefore will have the same effect as a vote against the Agreement because approval of the Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a percentage of either the shares present at the Meeting or the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.
Proxy Solicitation
     The Target Fund has engaged the services of Computershare Fund Services, Inc. (“Solicitor”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. Solicitor’s costs are described under the “Costs of the Reorganization” section of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Proxies are expected to be solicited principally by mail, but the Target Fund or Solicitor may also solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile or personal interview. The Target Fund’s officers may also solicit proxies but will not receive any additional or special compensation for any such solicitation.
     Under the agreement with the Solicitor, the Solicitor will be paid a project management fee as well as telephone solicitation expenses incurred for reminder calls, outbound telephone voting, confirmation of telephone votes, inbound telephone contact, obtaining shareholders’ telephone numbers, and providing additional materials upon shareholder request. The agreement also provides that the Solicitor shall be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Other Meeting Matters
     Management is not aware of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than as is discussed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Under the Target Fund’s bylaws, business transacted at a special meeting such as this Meeting shall be limited to (i) the purpose stated in the notice and (ii) adjournment of the special meeting with regard to the stated purpose. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with their best judgment.
Share Ownership by Large Shareholders, Management and Trustees

Table of Contents

     A list of the name, address and percent ownership of each person who, as of December 15, 2010, to the knowledge of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, owned 5% or more of the outstanding shares of a class of such Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, respectively, can be found at Exhibits B and C.
     Information regarding the ownership of shares of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund by the Trustees and executive officers of the Trust can be found at Exhibits B and C.
OTHER MATTERS
Capitalization
     The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2010, for the Reorganization, the total net assets, number of shares outstanding and net asset value per share of each class of each Fund. This information is generally referred to as the “capitalization” of a Fund. The term “pro forma capitalization” means the expected capitalization of the Acquiring Fund after it has combined with the Target Fund. The pro forma capitalization column in the table assumes that the Reorganization has taken place. The capitalizations of the Target Fund, Acquiring Fund and their classes are likely to be different on the Closing Date as a result of daily share purchase, redemption, and market activity.

1   Invesco Advisers will bear 100% of the Reorganization costs of the Target Fund. As a result, there are no pro forma adjustments to net assets.
 
2   Pro forma shares outstanding have been adjusted for the accumulated change in the number of shares of the Target Fund’s shareholder accounts based on the relative value of the Target Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s net asset value per share.
 
3   As of September 30, 2010, Institutional Class of the Acquiring Fund did not exist. Institutional Class shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in connection with the Reorganization. Institutional Class shares of the Acquiring Fund will commence operations upon the closing of the Reorganization at the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund’s Class Y shares. Therefore, the net asset value per share shown for Institutional Class shares of the Acquiring Fund in the table above is that of the Acquiring Fund’s Class Y shares.
Dissenters’ Rights

21


Table of Contents

     If the Reorganization is approved at the Meeting, Target Fund shareholders will not have the right to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares because the exercise of dissenters’ rights is subject to the forward pricing requirements of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act, which supersedes state law. Shareholders of the Target Fund, however, have the right to redeem their shares at net asset value subject to applicable deferred sales charges and/or redemption fees (if any) until the closing date of the Reorganization. After the Reorganization, Target Fund shareholders will hold shares of the Acquiring Fund, which may also be redeemed at net asset value subject to applicable deferred sales charges and/or redemption fees (if any).
Shareholder Proposals
     The Funds do not generally hold annual meetings of shareholders. A shareholder desiring to submit a proposal intended to be presented at any meeting of shareholders of the Target Fund hereafter called should send the proposal to the Target Fund at the Target Fund’s principal offices so that it is received within a reasonable time before the proxy materials are printed and mailed. If the proposed Reorganization is approved and completed for the Target Fund, shareholders of the Target Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund and, thereafter, will be subject to the notice requirements of the Acquiring Fund. The mere submission of a proposal by a shareholder does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement because compliance with certain rules under the federal securities laws is required before inclusion of the proposal is required. Also, the submission does not mean that the proposal will be presented at a future meeting. For a shareholder proposal to be considered at a future shareholder meeting, it must be a proper matter for consideration under applicable law.

Exhibit D
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is adopted as of this ___ day of __________, 2010 by and among (i) each of the Invesco open-end registered investment companies identified as a Target Entity on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Target Entity”) separately, on behalf of its respective series identified on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Target Fund”); (ii) each of the Invesco open-end registered investment companies identified as an Acquiring Entity on Exhibit A hereto (each an “Acquiring Entity”), separately on behalf of its respective series identified on Exhibit A hereto (each an “Acquiring Fund”); and (iii) Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“IAI”).
          WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend for each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Target Fund (as set forth in Exhibit A hereto) to enter into a transaction pursuant to which: (i) the Acquiring Fund will acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of the Target Fund in exchange for the corresponding class or classes of shares (as applicable) of the Acquiring Fund identified on Exhibit A of equal value to the net assets of the Target Fund being acquired, and (ii) the Target Fund will distribute such shares of the Acquiring Fund to shareholders of the corresponding class of the Target Fund, in connection with the liquidation of the Target Fund, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement (each such transaction, a “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”);
          WHEREAS, each Target Entity and each Acquiring Entity is an open-end, registered investment company of the management type; and
          WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and liquidation with respect to each Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code).
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE REORGANIZATIONS
     1.1. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Reorganization described herein shall be conducted separately from the others, and a party that is not a party to a Reorganization shall incur no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Reorganization by reason of being a party to this Agreement. If any one or more Reorganizations should fail to be consummated, such failure shall not affect the other Reorganizations in any way.
     1.2. Provided that all conditions precedent to a Reorganization set forth herein have been satisfied as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.1), and based on the representations and warranties each party provides to the others, each Target Entity and its corresponding Acquiring Entity agree to take the following steps with respect to their Reorganization(s), the parties to which and classes of shares to be issued in connection with which are set forth in Exhibit A:

 


Table of Contents

     (a) The Target Fund shall transfer all of its Assets, as defined and set forth in Section 1.2(b), to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund in exchange therefor shall assume the Liabilities, as defined and set forth in Section 1.2(c), and deliver to the Target Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund shares determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.
     (b) The assets of the Target Fund to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities and futures interests, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued and including, without limitation, any interest in pending or future legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries) and dividends or interest receivable that are owned by the Target Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund on the Closing Date, except for cash, bank deposits or cash equivalent securities in an amount necessary to pay the estimated costs of extinguishing any Excluded Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.2(c)) and cash in an amount necessary to pay any distributions pursuant to Section 7.1(g) (collectively, “Assets”).
     (c) The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the Target Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Closing Date, except for the Target Fund’s Excluded Liabilities (as defined below), if any, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, with respect to each Target Fund separately, “Liabilities”). If prior to the Closing Date the Acquiring Entity identifies a liability that the Acquiring Entity and the Target Entity mutually agree should not be assumed by the Acquiring Fund, such liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Acquiring Entity and the Target Entity at Closing and attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.2(c) (the “Excluded Liabilities”). The Assets minus the Liabilities of a Target Fund shall be referred to herein as the Target Fund’s “Net Assets.”
     (d) As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Target Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record (“Target Fund Shareholders”) the shares of the Acquiring Fund of the corresponding class received by the Target Fund pursuant to Section 1.2(a), as set forth in Exhibit A, on a pro rata basis within that class, and the Target Fund will as promptly as practicable completely liquidate and dissolve. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each class of the Target Fund’s shares, by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund shares of the corresponding class then credited to the account of the Target Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Target Fund Shareholders of the class. The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund shares to be so credited to the corresponding Target Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the corresponding Target Fund’s shares owned by the Target Fund Shareholders on the Valuation Date. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing shares in connection with such exchange.

     (e) Ownership of Acquiring Fund shares will be shown on its books, as such are maintained by the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent.
2.   VALUATION
     2.1. With respect to each Reorganization:
     (a) The value of the Target Fund’s Assets shall be the value of such Assets computed as of immediately after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which shall reflect the declaration of any dividends, on the business day next preceding the Closing Date (the “Valuation Date”), using the Target Fund’s valuation procedures established by the Target Entity’s Board of Trustees.
     (b) The net asset value per share of each class of the Acquiring Fund shares issued in connection with the Reorganization shall be the net asset value per share of the corresponding class of each class computed on the Valuation Date using the Acquiring Fund’s valuation procedures established by the Acquiring Entity’s Board of Trustees, which are the same as the Target Fund’s valuation procedures.
     (c) The number of shares issued of each class of the Acquiring Fund (including fractional shares, if any, rounded to the nearest thousandth) in exchange for the Target Fund’s Net Assets shall be determined by dividing the value of the Net Assets of the Target Fund attributable to each class of Target Fund shares by the net asset value per share of the corresponding share class of the Acquiring Fund.
     (d) All computations of value shall be made by the Target Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s designated recordkeeping agent using the valuation procedures described in this Section 2.
3.   CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE
     3.1. Each Reorganization shall close on the date identified on Exhibit A or such other date as the parties may agree with respect to any or all Reorganizations (the “Closing Date”). All acts taking place at the closing of a Reorganization (the “Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately prior to the opening of regular trading on the NYSE on the Closing Date of that Reorganization unless otherwise agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Time”).
     3.2. With respect to each Reorganization:
     (a) The Target Fund’s portfolio securities, investments or other assets that are represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be transferred and delivered by the Target Fund as of the Closing Date to the Acquiring Fund’s Custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund, duly endorsed in proper form for transfer and in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. The Target Fund shall direct the Target Fund’s custodian (the “Target Custodian”) to deliver to the Acquiring Fund’s Custodian as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of Target Custodian and any securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the

Table of Contents

Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), in which the Assets are deposited, the Target Fund’s portfolio securities and instruments so held. The cash to be transferred by a Target Fund shall be delivered to the Acquiring Fund’s Custodian by wire transfer of federal funds or other appropriate means on the Closing Date.
     (b) The Target Entity shall direct the Target Custodian for each Target Fund to deliver, at the Closing, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) except as permitted by Section 3.2(a), the Assets have been delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Fund no later than the Closing Time on the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including all applicable Federal, state and foreign stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made.
     (c) At such time prior to the Closing Date as the parties mutually agree, the Target Fund shall provide (i) instructions and related information to the Acquiring Fund or its transfer agent with respect to the Target Fund Shareholders, including names, addresses, dividend reinvestment elections and tax withholding status of the Target Fund Shareholders as of the date agreed upon (such information to be updated as of the Closing Date, as necessary) and (ii) the information and documentation maintained by the Target Fund or its agents relating to the identification and verification of the Target Fund Shareholders under the USA PATRIOT ACT and other applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations and such other information as the Acquiring Fund may reasonably request. The Acquiring Fund and its transfer agent shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety or correctness of any such instruction, information or documentation, but shall, in each case, assume that such instruction, information or documentation is valid, proper, correct and complete.
     (d) The Target Entity shall direct each applicable transfer agent for a Target Fund (the “Target Transfer Agent”) to deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records, as provided to the Acquiring Entity, contain the names and addresses of the Target Fund Shareholders and the number of outstanding shares of each class owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver to the Secretary of the Target Fund a confirmation evidencing the Acquiring Fund shares to be credited on the Closing Date, or provide other evidence satisfactory to the Target Entity that such Acquiring Fund shares have been credited to the Target Fund Shareholders’ accounts on the books of the Acquiring Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.
     (e) In the event that on the Valuation Date or the Closing Date (a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Target Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of the Acquiring Entity or the Target Entity or the authorized officers of either of such entities, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, respectively, is impracticable, the

Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

Pro Forma Financial Information
Invesco Van Kampen Harbor Fund into Invesco Convertible Securities Fund
The unaudited pro forma financial information set forth below is for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the financial condition that actually would have resulted if the Reorganization had been consummated. These pro forma numbers have been estimated in good faith based on information regarding each Target Fund and each Acquiring Fund for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund, which are available in their respective annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.
Narrative Description of the Pro Forma Effects of the Reorganization
Note 1 — Reorganization
The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared to give effect to the proposed reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) as of the beginning of the period as indicated below in the table.
         
Target Fund   Acquiring Fund   12 Month Period Ended
Invesco Van Kampen Harbor Fund
  Invesco Convertible Securities Fund   March 31, 2010
Basis of Pro Forma
The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies; therefore, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund or its shareholders as a result of the Reorganization. The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are both series of a registered open-end management investment company that issues its shares in separate series. The Reorganization would be accomplished by the acquisition of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the distribution of such shares to Target Fund shareholders in complete liquidation of the Target Fund. The table below shows the class and shares that Target Fund shareholders would have received if the Reorganization were to have taken place on the period ended date in Note 1.
                 
Target Fund Share Class   Shares Exchanged   Acquiring Fund Share Class
Class A
    14,632,900     Class A
Class B
    473,355     Class B
Class C
    1,034,486     Class C
Class I
    886,290     Class Y
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity, the Acquiring Fund, and the results of operations of the Acquiring Fund for pre-reorganization periods will not be restated. All securities held by the Target Fund comply with investment objectives, strategies and restrictions of the Acquiring Fund at period ended date in Note 1.
Note 2 — Net Assets
The table below shows the net assets of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and Pro Forma combined net assets as of the dates indicated.

 


Table of Contents

                 
Fund   Net Assets   As-of Date
Invesco Van Kampen Harbor Fund (Target Fund)
  $ 310,176,134     March 31, 2010
Invesco Convertible Securities Fund (Acquiring Fund)
  $ 108,479,720     March 31, 2010
Invesco Convertible Securities Fund (Pro Forma Combined)
  $ 418,655,854     March 31, 2010
Note 3 — Pro Forma Adjustments
The table below reflects adjustments to expenses needed to the pro forma combined Fund as if the Reorganization had taken place on the first day of the period as disclosed in Note 1. The pro forma information has been derived from the books and records used in calculating daily net asset values of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect this information. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
         
    Increase (decrease)
Expense Category   in expense
Advisory fees (1)
  $ (78,975 )
Administrative services fees (2)
  $ (55,160 )
Professional fees (3)
  $ (47,239 )
Trustees’ and officers fees and benefits (4)
  $ (14,600 )
 
(1)   Under the terms of the investment advisory contract of the Acquiring Fund, the advisory fees have been adjusted to reflect the advisory fee rates in effect for the Acquiring Fund based on pro forma combined net assets. Correspondingly, advisory fee waivers have been adjusted to reflect the contractual agreement by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses through at least June 30, 2012 as part of the contractual expense limitation agreement of the Acquiring Fund. Upon closing of the Reorganization, the Adviser has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 1.11%, 1.86%, 1.86% and 0.86% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
 
(2)   Administrative services fees were adjusted to eliminate the duplicative costs of administering two funds pursuant to the master administrative services agreement for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund.
 
(3)   Professional fees were reduced to eliminate the effects of duplicative fees for audit and legal services.
 
(4)   Trustees’ and officer’s fees and benefits were reduced to eliminate the effects of duplicative fixed costs of retainer and meeting fees.
No significant accounting policies will change as a result of the Reorganization, specifically policies regarding security valuation or compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
Note 4 — Reorganization Costs
The Target Fund is expected to incur an estimated $200,000 in Reorganization costs. These costs represent the estimated non recurring expense of the Target Fund carrying out its obligations under the Plan and consist of management’s estimate of professional services fees, printing costs and mailing charges related

to the proposed Reorganization. Invesco will bear 100% of these costs for the Target Fund. The Acquiring Fund is expected to incur approximately $30,000 of expenses in connection with the Reorganization and will bear 100% of these costs and expenses. The pro forma financial information has not been adjusted for any costs related to the Reorganization.
Note 5 — Accounting Survivor
The Acquiring Fund has been determined to be the accounting survivor. The portfolio management team, portfolio composition strategies, and investment objective, policies and restrictions of the surviving fund will be those of the Acquiring Fund.
Note 6 — Capital Loss Carryforward
At December 31, 2009 the Target Fund had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $22,914,734. At September 30, 2009 the Acquiring Fund had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $3,460,219. For additional information regarding capital loss limitations, please see the section entitled Federal Income Tax Consequences in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed on Form N-14 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 15. Indemnification
Indemnification provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VIII of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article VIII of its Amended and Restated Bylaws, and are hereby incorporated by reference. See Item 16(1) and (2) below. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust effective as of September 14, 2005, as amended, (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Registrant’s Bylaws and other applicable law and; (iii) in case any shareholder or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled, out of the assets belonging to the applicable portfolio (or allocable to the applicable class), to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law. The Registrant, on behalf of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any such claim made against the shareholder for any act or obligation of that portfolio (or class).
The Registrant and other investment companies and their respective officers and trustees are insured under a joint Mutual Fund Directors and Officers Liability Policy, issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company and certain other domestic insurers, with limits up to $80,000,000 (plus an additional $20,000,000 limit that applies to independent directors/trustees only).
Section 16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco) provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Invesco or any of its officers, directors or employees, that Invesco shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. Any liability of Invesco to any series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart liability on the part of Invesco to any other series of the Registrant. No series of the Registrant shall be liable for the obligations of any other series of the Registrant.
Section 9 of the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the Sub-Advisory Contract) between Invesco Advisers, Inc., on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Ltd., Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (each a Sub-Adviser, collectively the Sub-Advisers) provides that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by any series of the Registrant or the Registrant in connection with the matters to which the Sub-Advisory Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance by the Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory Contract.

Table of Contents

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any action suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.

      Re:      Registration Statement on Form N-14
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel to AIM Growth Series (Invesco Growth Series) (“AGS”), a Delaware statutory trust, in connection with the preparation and filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form N-14 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), Invesco Convertible Securities Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of AGS, will assume the assets and liabilities of Invesco Van Kampen Harbor Fund (the “Target Fund”), also a series of AGS, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund, as set forth on Exhibit A (the “Reorganization”).
     We have reviewed the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Amended and Restated By-Laws of AGS, in each case as amended to the date hereof, resolutions adopted by AGS in connection with the Reorganization, the form of Agreement, which has been approved by AGS’s Board of Trustees, the Registration Statement and such other legal and factual matters as we have deemed appropriate.
     This opinion is based exclusively on the provisions of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act governing the issuance of the shares of AGS and the reported case law thereunder, and does not extend to the securities or “blue sky” laws of the State of Delaware or other States.
     We have assumed the following for purposes of this opinion:
     1. The shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in accordance with AGS’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) and Amended and Restated By-Laws, each as amended to date, the Agreement, and resolutions of AGS’s Board of Trustees relating to the creation, authorization and issuance of shares and the Reorganization.
     2. The shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued against payment therefor as described in the Agreement, and such payment will be at least equal to the net asset value of such shares.
     3. The Agreement, substantially in the form reviewed by us, will be executed and delivered.
     4. The registration statement registering new Institutional Class shares for the Acquiring Fund will become effective.

 


 

     On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued to the Target Fund shareholders as provided by the Agreement are duly authorized, and upon delivery will be validly issued and outstanding, and will be fully paid and non-assessable by AGS.
     Both the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, as amended, and the Trust Agreement provide that shareholders of AGS shall be entitled to the same limitation on personal liability as is extended under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, to stockholders of private corporations for profit. There is a remote possibility, however, that, under certain circumstances, shareholders of a Delaware statutory trust may be held personally liable for that trust’s obligations to the extent that the courts of another state that does not recognize such limited liability were to apply the laws of such state to a controversy involving such obligations. The Trust Agreement also provides for indemnification out of property of the Acquiring Fund for all loss and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of such Fund. Therefore, the risk of any shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment due to shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Acquiring Fund is unable to meet its obligations and the express limitation of shareholder liabilities is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be effective.
     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
         
  Sincerely yours,

STRADLEY RONON STEVENS & YOUNG, LLP

     WHEREAS, the Transfer Agent is registered as such with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); and
     WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to issue shares in separate series and classes, with each such series representing interests in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets and each such class having different distribution arrangements; and
     WHEREAS, the Fund on behalf of the retail and institutional share classes of each of the Portfolios thereof (the “Portfolios”) desires to appoint the Transfer Agent as its transfer agent, and agent in connection with certain other activities, with respect to the Portfolios, and the Transfer Agent desires to accept such appointment;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
TERMS OF APPOINTMENT; DUTIES OF THE TRANSFER AGENT
     1.01 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Fund hereby employs and appoints the Transfer Agent to act as, and the Transfer Agent agrees to act as, its transfer agent for the authorized and issued shares of beneficial interest of the Fund representing interests in the retail and institutional share classes of each of the respective Portfolios (“Shares”), dividend disbursing agent, and agent in connection with any accumulation or similar plans provided to shareholders of each of the Portfolios (the “Shareholders”), including without limitation any periodic investment plan or periodic withdrawal program, as provided in the currently effective prospectus and statement of additional information (the “Prospectus”) of the Fund on behalf of the Portfolios.
     1.02 The Transfer Agent agrees that it will perform the following services:
     (a) The Transfer Agent shall, in accordance with procedures established from time to time by agreement between the Fund on behalf of each of the Portfolios, as applicable, and the Transfer Agent:
  (i)   receive for acceptance, orders for the purchase of Shares, and promptly deliver payment and appropriate documentation thereof to the Custodian of the Fund authorized pursuant to the Charter of the Fund (the “Custodian”);
 
  (ii)   pursuant to purchase orders, issue the appropriate number of Shares and hold such Shares in the appropriate Shareholder account;

3


 

  (iii)   receive for acceptance redemption requests and redemption directions and deliver the appropriate documentation thereof to the Custodian;
 
  (iv)   at the appropriate time as and when it receives monies paid to it by the Custodian with respect to any redemption, pay over or cause to be paid over in the appropriate manner such monies as instructed by the Fund;
 
  (v)   effect transfers of Shares by the registered owners thereof upon receipt of appropriate instructions;
 
  (vi)   prepare and transmit payments for dividends and distributions declared by the Fund on behalf of the Shares;
 
  (vii)   maintain records of account for and advise the Fund and its Shareholders as to the foregoing; and
 
  (viii)   record the issuance of Shares of the Fund and maintain pursuant to SEC Rule 17Ad-10(e) a record of the total number of Shares which are authorized, based upon data provided to it by the Fund, and issued and outstanding.
     The Transfer Agent shall also provide the Fund on a regular basis with the total number of Shares which are authorized and issued and outstanding and shall have no obligation, when recording the issuance of Shares, to monitor the issuance of such Shares or to take cognizance of any laws relating to the issue or sale of such Shares, which function shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund.
     (b) In addition to the services set forth in the above paragraph (a), the Transfer Agent shall: perform the customary services of a transfer agent, including but not limited to maintaining all Shareholder accounts, mailing Shareholder reports and prospectuses to current Shareholders, preparing and mailing confirmation forms and statements of accounts to Shareholders for all purchases and redemptions of Shares and other confirmable transactions in Shareholder accounts, preparing and mailing activity statements for Shareholders, and providing Shareholder account information.
     (c) Procedures as to who shall provide certain of these services may be established from time to time by agreement between the Fund on behalf of each Portfolio and the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent may at times perform only a portion of these services and the Fund or its other agents may perform these services on the Fund’s behalf.
     1.03 Pursuant to procedures established from time to time by agreement between the Fund and the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent may, as agent and acting on behalf of the Fund, enter into certain sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service, and sub-accounting agreements (collectively, “third-party servicing arrangements”) whereby an intermediary agrees to provide individual shareholder and/or record keeping services with respect to investments in the Portfolios that would otherwise be required to be provided by the Transfer Agent hereunder, provided that such intermediary has entered or will concurrently enter into an Intermediary Agreement Regarding Compliance with SEC Rule 22c-2 in substantially the form approved by the Fund. Such third-party servicing arrangements may, but are not required to, further provide that such intermediaries may designate sub-agents for purposes of receiving orders for the

4


 

purchase and redemption of Shares, provided that an intermediary appointing such a sub-agent remains contractually responsible for the receipt and processing of orders received by such sub-agent. The Fund, or the Transfer Agent as agent for and on behalf of the Fund, shall maintain copies of all written agreements evidencing third-party servicing arrangements that are in effect, or that were in effect at any time during the past six years, in an easily accessible place.

For performance by the Transfer Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund agrees on behalf of each of the Portfolios to pay the Transfer Agent an annualized fee for shareholder accounts holding Class A, A2, A5, B, B5, C, C5, P, R, R5, S, Y, Invesco Cash Reserve and Investor Class Shares, as applicable, that are open during any monthly period at a rate of (i) $19.60 per annum less (ii) the aggregate amount of Small Account Fees collected by the Transfer Agent.
     Closed Account Fee. For performance by the Transfer Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund agrees on behalf of each of the Portfolios to pay the Transfer Agent an annualized fee for shareholder accounts which previously held Class A, A2, A5, B, B5, C, C5, P, R, R5, S, Y, Invesco Cash Reserve and Investor Class Shares, as applicable, that were closed during any monthly period at a rate of $0.70, to be paid for twelve months following the date on which an account was closed.
     Small Account Fee. The Transfer Agent agrees to collect on behalf of each shareholder account holding Class A, A2, A5, B, B5, C, C5, P, R, R5, S, Y, Invesco Cash Reserve and Investor Class Shares, as applicable, serviced directly by the Transfer Agent where the account balance is equal to or less than $500 (a “Small Account”), a Small Account Fee of $12 per annum. The Transfer Agent agrees to use its best efforts to collect on behalf of each Small Account serviced by third parties pursuant to omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreements, a Small Account Fee of $12 per annum. The Small Account Fee shall be determined, collected and subject to any exceptions as set forth in the most recent prospectus for each Portfolio of the Fund.
     Determining Number of Billable Accounts. The Open Account Fee and the Closed Account Fee shall be paid only with respect to accounts serviced directly by the Transfer Agent and not with respect to accounts serviced by third parties pursuant to omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreements, as provided in Section 2.04 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding that the Transfer Agent does not collect an Open Account Fee on accounts serviced by third parties pursuant to omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreements, any Small Account Fees collected on such accounts shall be subtracted as provided above under “Open Account Fee.”

11


 

     Cap on Transfer Agency Fees and Expenses. The Transfer Agent agrees to waive the right to collect any fee or reimbursement to which it is entitled hereunder to the extent that collecting such fee or reimbursement would cause the fees and expenses incurred hereunder by the Institutional Class Shares of any given Portfolio to exceed 0.10% of the average net assets attributable to such Class of such Portfolio.
3. Investment Credits
     The total fees due to the Transfer Agent from all funds affiliated with the Fund shall be reduced by an amount equal to the investment income earned by the Transfer Agent, if any, on the balances of the disbursement accounts for those funds. Such credits shall first be allocated to the Institutional Class, if any, of a Portfolio based upon the number of accounts holding shares of such Class relative to the total number of accounts holding all Classes of shares in the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s remaining fiscal year-to-date credits shall be allocated among accounts holding Class A, A2, A5, B, B5, C, C5, P, R, R5, S, Y, Invesco Cash Reserve and Investor Class Shares, as applicable, on the basis of fiscal year-to-date average net assets.
4. Out-of-Pocket Expenses

POWER OF ATTORNEY
The undersigned trustee of AIM COUNSELOR SERIES TRUST (INVESCO COUNSELOR SERIES TRUST), AIM EQUITY FUNDS (INVESCO EQUITY FUNDS), AIM FUNDS GROUP (INVESCO FUNDS GROUP), AIM GROWTH SERIES (INVESCO GROWTH SERIES), AIM INVESTMENT FUNDS (INVESCO INVESTMENT FUNDS), AIM INTERNATIONAL MUTUAL FUNDS (INVESCO INTERNATIONAL MUTUAL FUNDS), AIM INVESTMENT SECURITIES FUNDS (INVESCO INVESTMENT SECURITIES FUNDS), AIM SECTOR FUNDS (INVESCO SECTOR FUNDS), AIM TAX-EXEMPT FUNDS (INVESCO TAX-EXMPT FUNDS) and AIM VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS (INVESCO VARIABLE INSURANCE FUNDS), each a Delaware statutory trust (each a “Registrant”, together the “Registrants”), hereby appoints PHILIP A. TAYLOR and JOHN M. ZERR (with full power to each of them to act alone) as his attorney-in-fact and agent, in all capacities, to execute, deliver and file in the name of the undersigned, any and all instruments that said attorneys and agents may deem necessary or advisable to enable each Registrant to comply with or register any security issued by the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder, with respect to each Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-14 with respect to the proposed reorganizations listed on Exhibit A, attached hereto, including any and all pre- and post-effective amendments thereto, any other document to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any and all documents required to be filed with respect thereto with any other regulatory authority. The undersigned grants to each of said attorneys, full authority to do every act necessary to be done in order to effectuate the same as fully, to all intents and purposes, as he could do if personally present, thereby ratifying all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the power of attorney granted herein shall not in any manner revoke in whole or in part any power of attorney that each person whose signature appears below has previously executed. This power of attorney shall not be revoked by any subsequent power of attorney each person whose signature below may execute, unless such subsequent power specifically refers to this power of attorney or specifically states that the instrument is intended to revoke all prior general powers of attorney or all prior powers of attorney.
This Power of Attorney may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall be deemed to be a single document.

 


 

CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL:
Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the “principal,” you give the person whom you choose (your “agent”) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority.
When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest. “Important Information for the Agent” at the end of this document describes your agent’s responsibilities.
Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.
You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are located.
You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.
Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a “Health Care Proxy” to do this.
The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites, www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us.
If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.
     The undersigned trustee hereby executes this Power of Attorney as of the 8th day of November, 2010.
