Example. This Example is intended to help you
compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of
investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the
time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The Example also
assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that
the Funds operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs,
such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or
turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may
result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund
operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds
portfolio turnover rate was 25% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of foreign
issuers that are considered by the Funds portfolio
managers to have strong earnings growth. The Fund invests
primarily in equity securities.
The Fund focuses its investments in equity securities of foreign
issuers that are listed on a recognized foreign or U.S.
securities exchange or traded in a foreign or U.S.
over-the-counter market. The Fund invests, under normal
circumstances, in issuers located in at least three countries
outside of the U.S., emphasizing investment in issuers in the
developed countries of Western Europe and the Pacific Basin. As
of October 31, 2011, the principal countries in which the
Fund invested were the United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland,
France and Germany. The Fund may also
1 Invesco
International Growth Fund
IGR-SUMPRO-1
invest up to 20% of its total assets in issuers located in
developing countries, i.e., those that are identified as in the
initial stages of their industrial cycles.
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of issuers that
are considered by the Funds portfolio managers to have
strong earnings growth.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward
foreign currency contracts and futures.
The Fund can utilize forward foreign currency contracts to
mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure. A forward
foreign currency contract is an agreement between parties to
exchange a specified amount of currency at a specified future
time at a specified rate. Forward foreign currency contracts are
used to protect against uncertainty in the level of future
foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund can use these
contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign
currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The Fund can invest in futures contracts, including index
futures, to seek exposure to certain asset classes. A futures
contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a
specific price at a specific future time. The value of the
futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with
the value of the underlying instrument. Futures contracts are
bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller
equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the
terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled
through either physical delivery of the underlying instrument on
the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on
the settlement date.
The portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy
that emphasizes fundamental research, supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management techniques.
The strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that have
experienced, or exhibit the potential for, accelerating or above
average earnings growth but whose prices do not fully reflect
these attributes. Investments for the portfolio are selected
bottom-up on
a
security-by-security
basis. The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers,
rather than sector or country trends.
The Funds portfolio managers may consider selling a
security for several reasons, including when (1) its
fundamentals deteriorate or it posts disappointing earnings;
(2) its security price appears to be overvalued; or
(3) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The
risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase
during times of significant market volatility. The principal
risks of investing in the Fund are:
Derivatives Risk. The performance of derivative
instruments is tied to the performance of an underlying
currency, security, index or other instrument. In addition to
risks relating to their underlying instruments, the use of
derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks.
Derivatives involve costs, may be volatile, and may involve a
small initial investment relative to the risk assumed. Risks
associated with the use of derivatives may include counterparty,
leverage, correlation, liquidity, tax, market, interest rate and
management risks. Derivatives may also be more difficult to
purchase, sell or value than other investments. The Fund may
lose more than the cash amount invested on investments in
derivatives. Investors should bear in mind that, while the Fund
intends to use derivative strategies, it is not obligated to
actively engage in these transactions, generally or in any
particular kind of derivative, if the investment manager elects
not to do so due to availability, cost, market conditions or
other factors.
Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk. Securities
issued by foreign companies and governments located in
developing/emerging countries may be affected more negatively by
inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction
costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the
introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes,
nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest,
war or lack of timely information than those in developed
countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Funds foreign
investments may be affected by changes in a foreign
countrys exchange rates, political and social instability,
changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when
enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased
volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation
resulting in less publicly available information about the
companies.
Geographic Concentration Risk. Because the Fund has a
significant level of investment in issuers in the developed
countries of Western Europe and Japan, the Funds
performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political
and economic conditions within countries in those regions and to
be more volatile than the performance of more geographically
diversified funds.
Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks tend to be more
expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with
other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive
to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
Investing in the European Union Risk. Many countries in
the European Union are susceptible to high economic risks
associated with high levels of debt, notably due to investments
in sovereign debts of European countries such as Greece, Italy
and Spain. One or more member states might exit the European
Union, placing its currency and banking system in jeopardy. The
European Union faces major issues involving its membership,
structure, procedures and policies, including the adoption,
abandonment or adjustment of the new constitutional treaty, the
European Unions enlargement to the south and east, and
resolution of the European Unions problematic fiscal and
democratic accountability. Efforts of the member states to
further unify their economic and monetary policies may increase
the potential for the downward movement of one member
states market to cause a similar effect on other member
states markets. European countries that are part of the
European Economic and Monetary Union may be significantly
affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls that the
union seeks to impose on its members.
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk
analysis used by the Funds portfolio managers may not
produce the desired results.
Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by
the Funds securities may decline in response to, among
other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market
conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and
interest rate fluctuations.
Performance
Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the
risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in
the performance of the Fund from year to year as of

benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark
with investment objectives and strategies similar to the Fund.
The Funds past performance (before and after taxes) is not
necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated
performance information is available on the Funds Web site
at www.invesco.com/us.

time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods. The Example also
assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that
the Funds operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs,
such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or
turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may
result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund
operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds
portfolio turnover rate was 25% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of foreign
issuers that are considered by the Funds portfolio
managers to have strong earnings growth. The Fund invests
primarily in equity securities.
The Fund focuses its investments in equity securities of foreign
issuers that are listed on a recognized foreign or U.S.
securities exchange or traded in a foreign or U.S.
over-the-counter market. The Fund invests, under normal
circumstances, in issuers located in at least three countries
outside of the U.S., emphasizing investment in issuers in the
developed countries of Western Europe and the Pacific Basin. As
of October 31, 2011, the principal countries in which the
Fund invested were the United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland,
France and Germany. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its
total assets in issuers located in developing countries, i.e.,
those that are identified as in the initial stages of their
industrial cycles.
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of issuers that
are considered by the Funds portfolio managers to have
strong earnings growth.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward
foreign currency contracts and futures.
The Fund can utilize forward foreign currency contracts to
mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure. A forward
foreign currency contract is an agreement between parties to
exchange a specified amount of currency at a specified future
time at a specified rate. Forward foreign currency contracts are
used to protect against uncertainty in the level of future
foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund can use these
contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign
currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The Fund can invest in futures contracts, including index
futures, to seek exposure to certain asset classes. A futures
contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a
specific price at a specific future time. The value of the
futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with
the value of the underlying instrument. Futures contracts are
bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller
equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the
terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled
through either physical delivery of

the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment
of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
The portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy
that emphasizes fundamental research, supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management techniques.
The strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that have
experienced, or exhibit the potential for, accelerating or above
average earnings growth but whose prices do not fully reflect
these attributes. Investments for the portfolio are selected
bottom-up on
a
security-by-security
basis. The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers,
rather than sector or country trends.
The Funds portfolio managers may consider selling a
security for several reasons, including when (1) its
fundamentals deteriorate or it posts disappointing earnings;
(2) its security price appears to be overvalued; or
(3) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The
risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase
during times of significant market volatility. The principal
risks of investing in the Fund are:
Derivatives Risk. The performance of derivative
instruments is tied to the performance of an underlying
currency, security, index or other instrument. In addition to
risks relating to their underlying instruments, the use of
derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks.
Derivatives involve costs, may be volatile, and may involve a
small initial investment relative to the risk assumed. Risks
associated with the use of derivatives may include counterparty,
leverage, correlation, liquidity, tax, market, interest rate and
management risks. Derivatives may also be more difficult to
purchase, sell or value than other investments. The Fund may
lose more than the cash amount invested on investments in
derivatives. Investors should bear in mind that, while the Fund
intends to use derivative strategies, it is not obligated to
actively engage in these transactions, generally or in any
particular kind of derivative, if the investment manager elects
not to do so due to availability, cost, market conditions or
other factors.
Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk. Securities
issued by foreign companies and governments located in
developing/emerging countries may be affected more negatively by
inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction
costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the
introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes,
nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest,
war or lack of timely information than those in developed
countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Funds foreign
investments may be affected by changes in a foreign
countrys exchange rates, political and social instability,
changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when
enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased
volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation
resulting in less publicly available information about the
companies.
Geographic Concentration Risk. Because the Fund has a
significant level of investment in issuers in the developed
countries of Western Europe and Japan, the Funds
performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political
and economic conditions within countries in those regions and to
be more volatile than the performance of more geographically
diversified funds.
Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks tend to be more
expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with
other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive
to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
Investing in the European Union Risk. Many countries in
the European Union are susceptible to high economic risks
associated with high levels of debt, notably due to investments
in sovereign debts of European countries such as Greece, Italy
and Spain. One or more member states might exit the European
Union, placing its currency and banking system in jeopardy. The
European Union faces major issues involving its membership,
structure, procedures and policies, including the adoption,
abandonment or adjustment of the new constitutional treaty, the
European Unions enlargement to the south and east, and
resolution of the European Unions problematic fiscal and
democratic accountability. Efforts of the member states to
further unify their economic and monetary policies may increase
the potential for the downward movement of one member
states market to cause a similar effect on other member
states markets. European countries that are part of the
European Economic and Monetary Union may be significantly
affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls that the
union seeks to impose on its members.
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk
analysis used by the Funds portfolio managers may not
produce the desired results.
Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by
the Funds securities may decline in response to, among
other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market
conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and
interest rate fluctuations.
