The total annual fund operating expenses used in determining whether a fund meets or exceeds the expense limitations described above do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, which are required to be disclosed and included in the total annual fund operating expenses in a fund's prospectus fee table. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses of investment companies in which a fund invests but are not fees or expenses incurred by a fund directly. Currently, the expense offset arrangements from which the Funds benefit are in the form of credits that each Fund receives from banks where the Fund or its transfer agent has deposit accounts in which it holds uninvested cash. These credits are used to pay certain expenses incurred by each Fund. Such contractual fee waivers or reductions are set forth in the Fee Table to the Funds' Prospectuses and may not be terminated or amended to the Funds' detriment during the period stated in the agreement between Invesco Aim and the Funds." The following information is added as a new eighth paragraph under the heading "PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES" on page 63 of the Statement of Additional Information.
