Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job creation was | |
less robust than hoped. Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how economic conditions and market trends affected your Funds performance. |
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective. Intentional Investing is also:
n | How we manage and mitigate risk by embedding risk controls and processes into every aspect of our business; |
n | How we create products by offering a diverse combination of investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet your needs; and |
n | How we connect with you, our investorsby communicating clearly, by delivering expert in sights from our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, and by providing a website full of tools and articles to help you stay informed. |
As a company, Invesco believes in putting investors first, and thats why investment management is all we do. Our sole focus on managing your money allows your financial adviser to build a truly diversified investment portfolio of Invesco funds, whatever your investment needs and goals may be and allows him or her to find appropriate Invesco funds when your circumstances change. Of course, neither Intentional Investing nor diversification can guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Bruce Crockett |
Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Going forward, we will show performance for the most recent 10 years, since this more accurately reflects the experience of the typical shareholder. As a result, charts now may include benchmarks that did not appear previously, because the funds inception predated the benchmarks inception.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2012
NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert to Class A shares. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert to Class A shares. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end, which is at least eight years after the date of purchase. Redemption of Class B shares prior to the conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices
12 Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund |
13 Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Redemption Fees The Fund had a 2% redemption fee that was retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, was imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee was recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and was allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund eliminated the 2% redemption fee assessed on shares of the Fund redeemed or exchanged within 31 days of purchase. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
K. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Funds average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate | |
First $250 million |
0.935% | |
Next $250 million |
0.91% | |
Next $500 million |

14 Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 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 Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2013. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $70,217.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $123,055 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,499, $31,234 and $5,910 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
15 Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During year ended October 31, 2012, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of $231,323,817, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Funds total expenses of $2,764.
NOTE 5Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

16 Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to the treatment of wash sales and passive foreign investment companies.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward at period-end.
NOTE 8Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2012 was $81,386,097 and $111,604,101, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $433,719,862.
NOTE 9Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign capital gain taxes, on October 31, 2012, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $1,019,946, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $1,020,069 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $123. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Asia Pacific Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job | |
creation was less robust than hoped. Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how economic conditions and market trends affected your Funds performance. |
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective. Intentional Investing is also:
n | How we manage and mitigate risk by embedding risk controls and processes into every aspect of our business; |
n | How we create products by offering a diverse combination of investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet your needs; and |
n | How we connect with you, our investors by communicating clearly, by delivering expert insights from our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, and by providing a website full of tools and articles to help you stay informed. |
As a company, Invesco believes in putting investors first, and thats why investment management is all we do. Our sole focus on managing your money allows your financial adviser to build a truly diversified investment portfolio of Invesco funds, whatever your investment needs and goals may be and allows him or her to find appropriate Invesco funds when your circumstances change. Of course, neither Intentional Investing nor diversification can guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Have a question?
If you have questions about your account, please contact an Invesco client services representative at 800 959 4246. If you have an Invesco-related question or comment, feel free to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor
Senior Managing Director, Invesco Ltd.

Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

* | During the reporting period, Invesco changed its policy regarding growth of $10,000 charts. For funds older than 10 years, we previously showed performance since inception. Going forward, we will show performance for the most recent 10 years, since this more accurately reflects the experience of the typical shareholder. As a result, charts now may include benchmarks that did not appear previously, because the funds inception predated the benchmarks inception. Also, all charts will now be presented using a linear format. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2012
NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco European Growth Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Investor Class. Investor Class shares of the Fund are offered only to certain grandfathered investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y and Investor Class shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert to Class A shares. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert to Class A shares. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end, which is at least eight years after the date of purchase. Redemption of Class B shares prior to the conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed
13 Invesco European Growth Fund
options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
14 Invesco European Growth Fund
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Redemption Fees The Fund had a 2% redemption fee that was retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, was imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee was recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and was allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund eliminated the 2% redemption fee assessed on shares of the Fund redeemed or exchanged within 31 days of purchase. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
K. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Funds average daily net assets as follows:

15 Invesco European Growth Fund
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, 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, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Investor Class shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.50%, 2.00% and 2.25%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2013. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $86,368.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Investor Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $25,635 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $7, $30,400 and $1,110 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
16 Invesco European Growth Fund
During the year ended October 31, 2012, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $34,607,809 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $191,351,312, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Funds total expenses of $3,895.
NOTE 5Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 7Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended October 31, 2012 and 2011:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 25,513,148 | $ | 10,506,070 |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
2012 | ||||
Undistributed ordinary income |
$ | 15,703,646 | ||
Undistributed long-term gain |
15,907,316 | |||
Net unrealized appreciation investments |
181,690,112 | |||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) other investments |
(8,760 | ) | ||
Temporary book/tax differences |
(190,035 | ) | ||
Shares of beneficial interest |
647,238,426 | |||
Total net assets |
$ | 860,340,705 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund utilized $24,716,831 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2012.
NOTE 8Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2012 was $105,668,128 and $192,533,979, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | ||||
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities |
$ | 217,744,648 | ||
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities |
(36,054,536 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities |
$ | 181,690,112 |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $677,304,170.
NOTE 9Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of fair fund settlements and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2012, undistributed net investment income was increased by $2,433,383 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $2,433,383. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

20 Invesco European Growth Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco European Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco European Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Funds expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job creation was less robust than hoped. Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how economic | |
conditions and market trends affected your Funds performance. |
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective.

Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Going forward, we will show performance for the most recent 10 years, since this more accurately reflects the experience of the typical shareholder. As a result, charts now may include benchmarks that did not appear previously, because the funds inception predated the benchmarks inception.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2012
NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Growth Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. On September 24, 2012, Institutional Class shares were renamed Class R5 shares and the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert to Class A shares. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert to Class A shares. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end, which is at least eight years after the date of purchase. Redemption of Class B shares prior to the conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
13 Invesco Global Growth Fund
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
14 Invesco Global Growth Fund
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Redemption Fees The Fund had a 2% redemption fee that was retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, was imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee was recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and was allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund eliminated the 2% redemption fee assessed on shares of the Fund redeemed or exchanged within 31 days of purchase. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
K. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Funds average daily net assets as follows:

15 Invesco Global Growth Fund
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective December 19, 2011, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 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, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.32%, 2.07%, 2.07%, 1.07%, 1.07% and 1.07%, respectively, of average daily net assets. Prior to December 19, 2011, the Adviser had contractually agreed 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, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R5 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on December 31, 2012.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $15,005 and reimbursed class level expenses of $578,782, $23,566, $44,537 and $4,671 for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $11,968 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $4, $10,908 and $1,156 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $11,712,251 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $39,529,631, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $2,014,278, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(336,211).
NOTE 5Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Funds total expenses of $2,360.
NOTE 6Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
17 Invesco Global Growth Fund
NOTE 7Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 8Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Total net assets |
$ | 311,244,166 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund utilized $18,115,603 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2012, which expires as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* | ||||||||||||
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total | |||||||||
October 31, 2017 |
$ | 4,698,550 | $ | | $ | 4,698,550 |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of December 19, 2011, the date of reorganization of Invesco Global Advantage Fund into the Fund and realized on securities held in each fund at such date of reorganization, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. |
NOTE 9Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2012 was $76,305,019 and $70,182,616, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Global Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Global Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2012, through October 31, 2012. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) and held through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period (as of close of business September 24, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Class R6 shares, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2012, through October 31, 2012 (as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date), through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Funds expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Actual expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Class R6 shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 38 (as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date), through October 31, 2012)/366. Because the Class R6 shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Class R6 shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |

Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job creation was less robust than hoped. | |
Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how economic conditions and market trends affected your Funds performance. |
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective. Intentional Investing is also:
n | How we manage and mitigate risk by embedding risk controls and processes into every aspect of our business; |
n | How we create products by offering a diverse combination of investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet your needs; and |
n | How we connect with you, our investors by communicating clearly, by delivering expert insights from our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, and by providing a website full of tools and articles to help you stay informed. |
As a company, Invesco believes in putting investors first, and thats why investment management is all we do. Our sole focus on managing your money allows your financial adviser to build a truly diversified investment portfolio of Invesco funds, whatever your investment needs and goals may be and allows him or her to find appropriate Invesco funds when your circumstances change. Of course, neither Intentional Investing nor diversification can guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Have a question?
If you have questions about your account, please contact an Invesco client services representative at 800 959 4246. If you have an Invesco-related question or comment, feel free to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,

Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. On September 24, 2012, Institutional Class shares were renamed Class R5 shares and the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the
12 Invesco Global Opportunities Fund
market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the |
13 Invesco Global Opportunities Fund
Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
J. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Funds average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate | |||
First $250 million |
0.80% | |||
Next $250 million |
0.78% | |||
Next $500 million |
0.76% | |||
Next $1.5 billion |

Next $2.5 billion |
0.70% | |||
Next $2.5 billion |
0.68% | |||
Over $10 billion |
0.66% |
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2014, 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, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.36%, 2.11%, 1.61%, 1.11%, 1.11% and 1.11%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2014.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $77,239 and reimbursed class level expenses of $180, $1, $1, $176, $3 and $1 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the
14 Invesco Global Opportunities Fund
course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $34 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares.

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 5Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions during the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012.
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
2012 | ||||
Undistributed ordinary income |

(2,315 | ) | ||

Total net assets |
$ | 3,284,453 |
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2012, which expires as follows:

Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total | |||||||||
Not subject to expiration |

NOTE 7Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012 was $3,248,033 and $289,352, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 8Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and non-deductible stock issuance costs, on October 31, 2012, undistributed net investment income was increased by $10,981, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $13,676 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $24,657. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Global Opportunities Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Global Opportunities Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) and held through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period (as of close of business August 3, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares and September 24, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares).
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012 and (as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Funds expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 90 (as of close of business August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012)/366. For the Class R6 shares, actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 38 (as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012)/366. Because Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |

provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; that the services are required for the operation of the Fund; that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates can provide services, the nature and quality of which are at least equal to those provided by others offering the same or similar services; and that the fees for such services are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges by others for services of the same nature and quality.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through soft dollar arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers expenses. The Board also considered periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Funds uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Funds investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Funds investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades and that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job | |
creation was less robust than hoped. Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how economic conditions and market trends affected your Funds performance. |
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective. Intentional Investing is also:
n | How we manage and mitigate risk by embedding risk controls and processes into every aspect of our business; |
n | How we create products by offering a diverse combination of investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet your needs; and |
n | How we connect with you, our investors by communicating clearly, by delivering expert insights from our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, and by providing a website full of tools and articles to help you stay informed. |
As a company, Invesco believes in putting investors first, and thats why investment management is all we do. Our sole focus on managing your money allows your financial adviser to build a truly diversified investment portfolio of Invesco funds, whatever your investment needs and goals may be and allows him or her to find appropriate Invesco funds when your circumstances change. Of course, neither Intentional Investing nor diversification can guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Have a question?
If you have questions about your account, please contact an Invesco client services representative at 800 959 4246. If you have an Invesco-related question or comment, feel free to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor
Senior Managing Director, Invesco Ltd.

Bruce Crockett |
Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

* | During the reporting period, Invesco changed its policy regarding growth of $10,000 charts. For funds older than 10 years, we previously showed performance since inception. Going forward, we will show performance for the most recent 10 years, since this more accurately reflects the experience of the typical shareholder. As a result, charts now may include benchmarks that did not appear previously, because the funds inception predated the benchmarks inception. Also, all charts will now be presented using a linear format. |

NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R5. On September 24, 2012, Institutional Class shares were renamed Class R5 shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R5 shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert to Class A shares. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering
13 Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
such shares until they convert to Class A shares. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end, which is at least eight years after the date of purchase. Redemption of Class B shares prior to the conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among |
14 Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Redemption Fees The Fund had a 2% redemption fee that was retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, was imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee was recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and was allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund eliminated the 2% redemption fee assessed on shares of the Fund redeemed or exchanged within 31 days of purchase. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
K. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Funds average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate | |||
First $250 million |
0.80% | |||
Next $250 million |
0.78% | |||
Next $500 million |
0.76% | |||

Next $2.5 billion |
0.70% | |||
Next $2.5 billion |
0.68% | |||
Over $10 billion |
0.66% |
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, 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, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R5 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2013. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $53,470.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R5 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $38,916 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $19, $19,470 and $1,332 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund incurred $1,928 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the
16 Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of $122,749,517, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Funds total expenses of $4,049.
NOTE 5Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
17 Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
NOTE 6Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended October 31, 2012 and 2011:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Ordinary income |

(208,849 | ) | ||
Shares of beneficial interest |
419,500,852 | |||
Total net assets |
$ | 549,868,726 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Trust to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward at period-end.
NOTE 8Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2012 was $195,865,367 and $257,275,173, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities |
$ | 118,313,225 | ||
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $433,396,878. |
NOTE 9Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of litigation settlements and foreign currency transactions on October 31, 2012, undistributed net investment income was increased by $691,722 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $691,722. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

20 Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Funds expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job creation was less robust than hoped. Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how | |
economic conditions and market trends affected your Funds performance. |
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective. Intentional Investing is also:
n | How we manage and mitigate risk by embedding risk controls and processes into every aspect of our business; |
n | How we create products by offering a diverse combination of investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet your needs; and |
n | How we connect with you, our investors by communicating clearly, by delivering expert insights from our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, and by providing a website full of tools and articles to help you stay informed. |
As a company, Invesco believes in putting investors first, and thats why investment management is all we do. Our sole focus on managing your money allows your financial adviser to build a truly diversified investment portfolio of Invesco funds, whatever your investment needs and goals may be and allows him or her to find appropriate Invesco funds when your circumstances change. Of course, neither Intentional Investing nor diversification can guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Have a question?
If you have questions about your account, please contact an Invesco client services representative at 800 959 4246. If you have an Invesco-related question or comment, feel free to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor
Senior Managing Director, Invesco Ltd.

Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

* | During the reporting period, Invesco changed its policy regarding growth of $10,000 charts. For funds older than 10 years, we previously showed performance since inception. Going forward, we will show performance for the most recent 10 years, since this more accurately reflects the experience of the typical shareholder. As a result, charts now may include benchmarks that did not appear previously, because the funds inception predated the benchmarks inception. Also, all charts will now be presented using a linear format. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2012
NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco International Core Equity Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of eight different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6. On September 24, 2012, Institutional Class shares were renamed Class R5 shares and the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. Investor Class shares of the Fund are offered only to certain grandfathered investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert to Class A shares. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert to Class A shares. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end, which is at least eight years after the date of purchase. Redemption of Class B shares prior to the conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
13 Invesco International Core Equity Fund
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, |
14 Invesco International Core Equity Fund
the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Redemption Fees The Fund had a 2% redemption fee that was retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, was imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee was recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and was allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund eliminated the 2% redemption fee assessed on shares of the Fund redeemed or exchanged within 31 days of purchase. |
J. | Securities Lending The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Funds policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
K. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
L. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the |
15 Invesco International Core Equity Fund
difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Funds average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate | |||||
First $500 million |
0 | .75% | ||||
Next $500 million |
0 | .65% | ||||
From $1 billion |
0 | .55% | ||||
From $2 billion |
0 | .45% | ||||
From $4 billion |
0 | .40% | ||||
From $6 billion |
0 | .375% | ||||
Over $8 billion |
0 | .35% |
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, 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, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.50%, 2.00%, 2.25%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items,including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2013. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $11,249.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $5,328 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $65, $4,091 and $261 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $2,995,296 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $104,302,818, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Funds total expenses of $1,078.
17 Invesco International Core Equity Fund
NOTE 5Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

20 Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco International Core Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco International Core Equity Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

21 Invesco International Core Equity Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) and held through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period (as of close of business September 24, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Class R6 shares, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Funds for the period May 1, 2012, through October 31, 2012 (as of close of business September 24,2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Funds expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to each Funds annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Class R6 shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 38 (as of close of business September 24, 2012 through October 31, 2012)/366. Because the Class R6 shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Class R6 shares of each Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |

Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job creation was less robust than hoped. Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how economic conditions and market | |
trends affected your Funds performance. |
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective. Intentional Investing is also:
n | How we manage and mitigate risk by embedding risk controls and processes into every aspect of our business; |
n | How we create products by offering a diverse combination of investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet your needs; and |
n | How we connect with you, our investors by communicating clearly, by delivering expert insights from our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, and by providing a website full of tools and articles to help you stay informed. |
As a company, Invesco believes in putting investors first, and thats why investment management is all we do. Our sole focus on managing your money allows your financial adviser to build a truly diversified investment portfolio of Invesco funds, whatever your investment needs and goals may be and allows him or her to find appropriate Invesco funds when your circumstances change.

2 Invesco International Growth Fund
Bruce Crockett |
Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Going forward, we will show performance for the most recent 10 years, since this more accurately reflects the experience of the typical shareholder. As a result, charts now may include benchmarks that did not appear previously, because the funds inception predated the benchmarks inception.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2012
NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco International Growth Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. On September 24, 2012, Institutional Class shares were renamed Class R5 shares and the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert to Class A shares. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert to Class A shares. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end, which is at least eight years after the date of purchase. Redemption of Class B shares prior to the conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular
13 Invesco International Growth Fund
day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
14 Invesco International Growth Fund
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Redemption Fees The Fund had a 2% redemption fee that was retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, was imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee was recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and was allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Effective January 1, 2012, the Fund eliminated the 2% redemption fee assessed on shares of the Fund redeemed or exchanged within 31 days of purchase. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
K. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Funds average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate | |||||
First $250 million |
0 | .935% | ||||
Next $250 million |
0 | .91% | ||||

0 | .785% | ||||
Over $10 billion |
0 | .76% |
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, 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, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.40%, 2.15%, 2.15%, 1.65%, 1.15%, 1.15% and 1.15%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2013. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $666,189.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $313,822 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $6,935, $67,655 and $7,220 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the
16 Invesco International Growth Fund
securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $209,319,584 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $938,613,809, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Funds total expenses of $8,077.
NOTE 5Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund paid legal fees of $329 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A partner of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
17 Invesco International Growth Fund
NOTE 6Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended October 31, 2012 and 2011:

$ | 5,375,959,687 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and recognition of unrealized gain on passive foreign investment company.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund utilized $62,402,355 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2012, which expires as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* | ||||||||||||
Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total | |||||||||
October 31, 2017 |
$ | 297,609,446 | $ | | $ | 297,609,446 |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of May 23, 2011, the date of reorganization of Invesco Van Kampen International Advantage Fund and Invesco Van Kampen International Growth Fund into the Fund and realized on securities held in each fund at such date of reorganization, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. |
NOTE 8Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2012 was $1,355,122,118 and $925,593,567, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 9Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of Fair Fund settlements and foreign currency transactions on October 31, 2012, undistributed net investment income was increased by $2,678,969 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $2,678,969. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco International Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco International Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period May 1, 2012, through October 31, 2012. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) and held through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period (as of close of business September 24, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Class R6 shares, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2012, through October 31, 2012 (as of close of business September 24, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Funds expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Class R6 shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 38 (as of close of business September 24, 2012, through October 31, 2012)/366. Because the Class R6 shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect a one-half year. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Class R6 shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |

Letters to Shareholders
Philip Taylor |
Dear Shareholders: This report contains information about your Fund, including a discussion from your portfolio managers about how they managed your Fund and why it performed as it did during the reporting period. This report also includes your Funds long-term performance and a complete list of your Funds investments as of the close of the reporting period. I hope you find this information helpful. For much of the reporting period, investors attention was focused on Europe, where eurozone governments struggled to reduce debt levels, strengthen their banks and stimulate their economies. European leaders disagreed whether the wiser path to restoring the Continents economic well-being was more stimulus or greater austerity. In the US, economic data were mixed. Economic growth, while positive, was relatively modest. Corporate earnings, which grew strongly in recent years, showed signs of slowing. And job creation was less robust than hoped. |
Later in this report, your Funds portfolio managers discuss how economic conditions and market trends affected your Funds performance.
Economic conditions are always subject to sudden and unexpected change. Thats why you may find it helpful to work with a trusted, experienced financial adviser who understands your unique financial goals, needs and risk tolerances. Financial advisers can provide valuable insight and information, particularly when markets are uncertain, and they can recommend investments appropriate for specific investment goals, such as a childs college education or your retirement. On a regular basis, a financial adviser also can determine whether your existing investments are still appropriate, given your changing needs, goals and circumstances.
Timely insight and information from many of Invescos investment professionals is available at our website, invesco.com/us. We offer in-depth articles, video clips and audio commentaries from many of our portfolio managers and other investment professionals on a wide range of topics of interest to investors: recent economic and market developments; retirement planning; legislative updates from Washington, DC; and general investor education. At invesco.com/us, you also can access information about your Invesco account at any time.
What we mean by Intentional Investing
Intentional InvestingSM is the science and art of investing with purpose, prudence and diligence and its how Invescos investment professionals manage your money every day.
This highly disciplined process begins when specialized teams of investment professionals clearly define an investment objective and then establish specific investment strategies to try to achieve that objective. While our investment teams closely monitor economic and market conditions and issues specific to individual holdings that could affect their value they maintain a long-term investment perspective. Intentional Investing is also:
n | How we manage and mitigate risk by embedding risk controls and processes into every aspect of our business; |
n | How we create products by offering a diverse combination of investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet your needs; and |
n | How we connect with you, our investors by communicating clearly, by delivering expert insights from our portfolio managers and other investment professionals, and by providing a website full of tools and articles to help you stay informed. |
As a company, Invesco believes in putting investors first, and thats why investment management is all we do. Our sole focus on managing your money allows your financial adviser to build a truly diversified investment portfolio of Invesco funds, whatever your investment needs and goals may be and allows him or her to find appropriate Invesco funds when your circumstances change. Of course, neither Intentional Investing nor diversification can guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Have a question?
If you have questions about your account, please contact an Invesco client services representative at 800 959 4246. If you have an Invesco-related question or comment, feel free to email me directly at phil@invesco.com.
All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor
Senior Managing Director, Invesco Ltd.

Dear Fellow Shareholders: One of our most important responsibilities as independent Trustees of the Invesco Funds is our annual review of the funds advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco. This annual review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco has provided as adviser to the Invesco Funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. In our roles as Trustees, we spend months reviewing thousands of pages of detailed information that we request from Invesco in connection with our annual review. We focus on the quality and costs of the services to be provided by Invesco and its affiliates. Some of the most important things we look at are fund performance, expenses and fees. All of the Trustees have substantial personal investments in the Invesco Funds complex. Were fund shareholders just like you. |
We also use information from many independent sources during the review process, including materials provided by the independent Senior Officer of the Invesco Funds, who reports directly to the independent Trustees. We also meet in private sessions with independent legal counsel and review performance and fee data on the Invesco Funds prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
Im pleased to report that the Invesco Funds Board determined in June that renewing the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts with Invesco would serve the best interests of each fund and its shareholders. For more detailed information about our assessment and conclusions with respect to each of the Invesco Funds, visit invesco.com/us, click on the About Us section and go to Legal Information. Information on the recent investment advisory renewal process can be found by clicking the last item under Corporate Governance.
In much the same way we review your funds advisory contract each year, its a good idea for you to review your own investment plan with your financial adviser on a regular basis. Perhaps you need to reassess your original asset allocation because different investments may grow at varying paces, or perhaps youre going through a significant life change. Regardless of your situation, a financial adviser can provide guidance and experience to help you reach your financial goals.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2012
NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Select Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is a series portfolio of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds) (the Trust). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of eight separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. On September 24, 2012, Institutional Class shares were renamed Class R5 shares and the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waiver shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Funds investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
11 Invesco Select Opportunities Fund
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a securitys fair value.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Funds net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Funds total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Funds taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
12 Invesco Select Opportunities Fund
H. | Indemnifications Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Funds servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable.
J. | Foreign Currency Contracts The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to lock in the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2014, 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, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.51%, 2.26%, 1.76%, 1.26%, 1.26% and 1.26%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Advisers 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2014.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2013, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $74,718 and reimbursed class level expenses of $98, $3, $1, $95, $3 and $1 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6, respectively.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (IIS) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees. For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (IDI) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the Plans). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the sales charges) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $193 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investments assigned level:
Level 1 | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Level 2 | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Level 3 | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2012. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 5Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions during the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012.
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
2012 | ||||
Undistributed ordinary income |
$ | 35,361 | ||
Net unrealized appreciation investments |
114,265 | |||
Net unrealized appreciation other investments |
46 | |||
Temporary book/tax differences |
(960 | ) | ||
Shares of beneficial interest |
2,207,746 | |||
Total net assets |
$ | 2,356,458 |
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2012.
NOTE 7Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) to October 31, 2012 was $1,629,816 and $120,679, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | ||||

Investments have the same cost for tax and financial statement purposes.
NOTE 8Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and stock issuance costs, on October 31, 2012, undistributed net investment income was increased by $14,001, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $10,220 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $24,221. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Select Opportunities Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Select Opportunities Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), hereafter referred to as the Fund) at October 31, 2012, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Class R6 shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business September 24, 2012 (Class R6 commencement date) and held through October 31, 2012.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled Actual Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period (as of close of business August 3, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R5 shares and September 24, 2012 through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares).
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012 and (as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012 for the Class R6 shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Funds expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 90 (as of close of business August 3, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012)/365. For the Class R6 shares, actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 38 (as of close of business September 24, 2012 (commencement date) through October 31, 2012)/365. Because Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts

provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; that the services are required for the operation of the Fund; that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates can provide services, the nature and quality of which are at least equal to those provided by others offering the same or similar services; and that the fees for such services are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges by others for services of the same nature and quality.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through soft dollar arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers expenses. The Board also considered periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Funds uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Funds investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Funds investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades and that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees of
the Invesco Funds (the Funds)
Last Amended May 4, 2010
Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (Rules), the Audit Committees of the Funds (the Audit Committees) Board of Trustees (the Board) are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an Auditor). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditors independence is not impaired, the Audit Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds (Service Affiliates) if the services directly impact the Funds operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations.
Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committees (general pre-approval) or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees (specific pre-approval). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditors independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services.
The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee generally on an annual basis. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities.
Delegation
The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committees at the next quarterly meeting.
Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds financial statements. The Audit Committees will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditors qualifications and independence.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant either general or specific pre-approval of other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.
Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SECs Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees general principles and policies as set forth herein.
Audit-Related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Funds financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as Audit services; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers, compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities.
Tax Services
Tax services include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committees will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committees will consult with the Funds Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.
No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committees pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall:
1. | Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter: |
a. | The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and |
b. | Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service; |
2. | Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and |
3. | Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees. |
All Other Auditor Services
The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as All other services that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.
Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts
Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.
Procedures
Generally on an annual basis, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco) will submit to the Audit Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request.
Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees will be submitted to the Funds Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means.
Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Funds Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the Auditors independence and will document the substance of the discussion.
Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.
The Audit Committees have designated the Funds Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds Treasurer will report to the Audit Committees on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds Treasurer and management of Invesco will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committees any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds Treasurer or senior management of Invesco.

EXHIBIT CODE OF ETHICS
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS PROCEDURE
THE AIM FAMILY OF FUNDS CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR OFFICERS
I. | INTRODUCTION |
The Boards of Directors/Trustees (Board) of the Invesco Funds (the Companies) have adopted this code of ethics (this Code) applicable to their Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (the Covered Officers) to promote:
| honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in other public communications; |
| compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
| the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of violations of the Code; and |
| accountability for adherence to the Code. |
II. | COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD ACT HONESTLY AND CANDIDLY |
Each Covered Officer named in Exhibit A to this Code owes a duty to the Companies to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Deceit and subordination of principle are inconsistent with integrity.
Each Covered Officer must:
| act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information where required by law or the Companies policies; |
| observe both the form and spirit of laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and policies of the Companies; |
| adhere to a high standard of business ethics; and |
| place the interests of the Companies before the Covered Officers own personal interests. |
Business practices Covered Officers should be guided by and adhere to these fiduciary standards.
III. | COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ACTUAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST |
GUIDING PRINCIPLES. A conflict of interest occurs when an individuals private interest interferes with the interests of the Companies. A conflict of interest can arise when a Covered Officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Companies objectively and effectively. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in any of the Companies. In addition, investment companies should be sensitive to situations that create apparent, but not actual, conflicts of interest. Service to the Companies should never be subordinated to personal gain and advantage.
Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Companies that already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Companies because of their status as affiliated persons of the Companies. Therefore, as to the existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior, they will be deemed to be incorporated in this Code and therefore any material violation will also be deemed a violation of this Code. Covered Officers must in all cases comply with applicable statutes and regulations.
As to conflicts arising from, or as a result of the contractual relationship between, the Companies and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to the advisers fiduciary duties to the Companies, the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Companies or for the adviser, or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the adviser and the Companies. The Board recognizes that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Companies and the adviser and is consistent with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Companies. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of other investment companies advised by the same adviser and the codes which apply to senior officers of those investment companies will apply to the Covered Officers acting in those distinct capacities.
Each Covered Officer must:
| avoid conflicts of interest wherever possible; |
| handle any actual or apparent conflict of interest ethically; |
| not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by an investment company whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of any of the Companies; |
| not cause an investment company to take action, or fail to take action, for the personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of such company; |
| not use knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for an investment company to profit or cause others to profit, by the market effect of such transactions; and |
| as described in more detail below, discuss any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest with the Chief Legal Officer of the Invesco Funds (the Chief Legal Officer). |
Some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the Chief Legal Officer, if material, include the following:
| any outside business activity that detracts from an individuals ability to devote appropriate time and attention to his or her responsibilities with the Companies; |
| being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member; |
| any direct ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Companies service providers, other than its investment adviser, distributor or other Invesco Ltd. affiliated entities and other than a de minimis ownership interest (for purposes of this section of the Code an ownership interest of 1% or less shall constitute a de minimis ownership interest, and an ownership interest of more than 1% creates a rebuttable presumption that there may be a material conflict of interest); and |
| a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Companies for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares, other than an |
interest arising from the Covered Officers employment with Invesco, its subsidiaries, its parent organizations and any affiliates or subsidiaries thereof, such as compensation or equity ownership, and other than an interest arising from a de minimis ownership interest in a company with which the Companies execute portfolios transactions or a company that receives commissions or other fees related to its sales and redemptions of shares of the Companies (for purposes of this section of the Code an ownership interest of 1% or less shall constitute a de minimis ownership interest, and an ownership interest of more than 1% creates a rebuttable presumption that there may be a material conflict of interest). |
IV. | DISCLOSURE |
Each Covered Officer is required to be familiar, and comply, with the Companies disclosure controls and procedures so that the Companies subject reports and documents filed with the SEC comply in all material respects with the applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules. In addition, each Covered Officer having direct or supervisory authority regarding these SEC filings or the Companies other public communications should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Companies and take other appropriate steps regarding these disclosures with the goal of making full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.
Each Covered Officer must:
| familiarize himself/herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Companies as well as the business and financial operations of the Companies; and |
| not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Companies to others, whether within or outside the Companies, including representations to the Companies internal auditors, independent Directors/Trustees, independent auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations. |
V. | COMPLIANCE |
It is the Companies policy to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. It is the personal responsibility of each Covered Officer to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules and regulations, including those relating to affiliated transactions, accounting and auditing matters.
VI. | REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY |
Each Covered Officer must:
| upon receipt of the Code, sign and submit to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Companies an acknowledgement stating that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code. |
| annually thereafter submit a form to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Companies confirming that he or she has received, read and understands the Code and has complied with the requirements of the Code. |
| not retaliate against any employee or other Covered Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith. |
| notify the Chief Legal Officer promptly if he becomes aware of any existing or potential violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code. |
Except as described otherwise below, the Chief Legal Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented to him or her and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. The Chief Legal Officer shall take all action he or she considers appropriate to investigate any actual or potential violations reported to him or her.
The Chief Legal Officer is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with the Chairman of the Audit Committees of the Board, counsel to the Companies and counsel to the independent Directors/Trustees, and is encouraged to do so.
The Chief Legal Officer is responsible for granting waivers and determining sanctions, as appropriate. In addition, approvals, interpretations, or waivers sought by the Covered Officers may also be considered by the Chairman of the Invesco Funds Audit Committees.
The Companies will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code, and in reporting on the Code:
| the Chief Legal Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any violations reported to him or her; |
| violations and potential violations will be reported to the Chairman of the Audit Committees of the Board after such investigation; |
| if the Chairman of the Audit Committees determines that a violation has occurred, he or she will inform the Board, which will take all appropriate disciplinary or preventive action; |
| appropriate disciplinary or preventive action may include a letter of censure, suspension, dismissal or, in the event of criminal or other serious violations of law, notification to the SEC or other appropriate law enforcement authorities; |
| the Chief Legal Officer will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and |
| any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed on Form N-CSR as provided by SEC rules. |
VII. | OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES |
The Companies and the Advisers and Principal Underwriters codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the Advisers more detailed policies and procedures set forth in its Compliance and Supervisory Procedures Manual are separate requirements applying to Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.
VIII. | AMENDMENTS |
This Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved by a majority vote of the Companies Board, including a majority of independent Directors/Trustees.
IX. | CONFIDENTIALITY |
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the members of the Companies Board, counsel to the Companies, and counsel to the independent Directors/Trustees.
