The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. stock market.
     The Custom Basic Balanced Index, created by Invesco to serve as a benchmark for Invesco Basic Balanced Fund, is composed of the following indexes: Russell 1000® Value (60%) and Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate (40%). The Russell 1000 Value Index is a trademark/service mark of the Frank Russell Co. Russell® is a trademark of the Frank Russell Co.
     The Lipper VUF Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of mixed-asset target allocation moderate variable insurance underlying funds tracked by Lipper.
     The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.
     A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

Series II shares incepted on January 24, 2002. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Series I shares, restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Series II. Series I performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.92% and 1.17%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.51% and 1.76%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
     Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246.
     As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.
     Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, performance would have been lower.
 
1   Total annual Fund operating expenses after any contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the adviser in effect through at least April 30, 2011. See current prospectus for more information.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund, (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and secondarily, current income.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
  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
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund


 

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.
  Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
  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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
  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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Dollar Roll and Forward Commitment Transactions — The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date.
  In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a “fee” or a “drop”. “Fee” income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the “drop” which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act.
  Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations.
  At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated.
  Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold.
  Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund’s overall interest rate exposure.
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 Fund’s 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
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund


 

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.
L. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
M. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $150 million
    0 .75%
 
Over $150 million
    0 .50%
 
 
  Effective January 1, 2010, through at least April 30, 2011, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund’s average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .62%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .605%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .59%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .575%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .56%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .545%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .53%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .515%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.91% and Series II shares to 1.16% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund


 

  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $91,589.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.

  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,329,121 and securities sales of $1,717,894, which resulted in net realized gains of $248,519.
 
NOTE 6—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,337 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

NOTE 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 8—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers made manager and process changes relating to the fixed income portion of the Fund’s portfolio assets in 2008 and early 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers, one of which is a fund of funds for which Invesco Advisers does not charge a separate advisory fee.
  Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011, in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the effect this expense limitation has on the Fund’s total estimated expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund


 

    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .695%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .67%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .645%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .62%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .595%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .57%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .545%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .52%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund


 

expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. 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, 2011, 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 use money market fund waiver without securities lending.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $5,225.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $44,332 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $410,331 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $32,223,016 and securities sales of $4,128,486, which resulted in net realized (losses) of $(391,829).
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund


 

NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,723 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2016
  $ 40,544,207  
 
December 31, 2017
    32,409,899  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 72,954,106  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $252,587,835 and $300,283,504, 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.

Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund


 

  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds Large-Cap Value Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and in the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rates for the other mutual funds.
  The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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 Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.

Series II shares incepted on August 21, 2001. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Series I shares, restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Series II. Series I performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.92% and 1.17%, respectively.

Capital Appreciation Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products.

They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .65%
 
Over $250 million
    0 .60%
 
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation 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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. 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, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $17,783.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $82,787 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $785,111 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $932,281 and securities sales of $1,381,045, which resulted in net realized gains of $9,647.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,117 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss

Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund


 

considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds - Large-Cap Growth Index and the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Multi-Cap Growth Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of both Indexes for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers made changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team in 2008, and that the team has a conservative, quality bias that underperformed during the low-quality rally in 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was at the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was below the effective fee rate for one mutual fund and the same as the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund. The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate to the effective sub-advisory fee rate of three mutual funds sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and noted that the Fund’s rate was above the effective sub-advisory rates for the mutual funds.
  Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund


 

are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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 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
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund


 

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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $350 million
    0 .75%
 
Over $350 million
    0 .625%
 
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund


 

  Through at least April 30, 2011, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund’s average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .745%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .73%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .715%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .70%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .685%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .67%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .655%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .64%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. 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, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $9,565.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $213,028 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund


 

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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $7,838,966 and securities sales of $3,024,129, which resulted in net realized gains of $94,311.

“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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,484 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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.

Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Contracts
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Mid-Cap
 
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund


 

Growth Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. In response to an inquiry from the Board, Invesco Advisers indicated that much of the underperformance was concentrated in the second half of 2007 as a result of financial sector stock selection. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was at the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers contractually agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011, and that this fee waiver includes breakpoints based on net asset levels. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, the expense waiver is not having any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information and the fee waivers/expense limitations discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .65%
 
Over $250 million
    0 .60%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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).
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

  The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. 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, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $167,008.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $170,126 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,708,252 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 4—Derivative Investments
 
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $8,514,122 and securities sales of $33,752,163, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(2,573,609).
 
NOTE 6—Trustees’ 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
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,028 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 8—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to utilizing $367,472,040 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
  The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Large-Cap Core Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the first quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was at the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was: (i) below the effective fee rate for one of the mutual funds and (ii) above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
  The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoint. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending
 
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund


 

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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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 Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate bond market.

     The Lipper VUF Corporate Debt BBB-Rated Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of corporate debt BBB-rated variable insurance underlying funds tracked by Lipper.
     The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.

Series I performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.75% and 1.00%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.48% and 1.73%, respectively.

     Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values.

     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246.
     As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.
     Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, performance would have been lower.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is total return comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
    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
 
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund


 

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.
    Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Lower-Rated Securities — The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.
J. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .60%
 
Over $250 million
    0 .55%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 Series I shares to 0.75% and Series II shares to 1.00% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver [and/or expense reimbursement] to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
 
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund


 

  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $72,698 and reimbursed Fund expenses of $3,721.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,794 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $21,017 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
 
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. GAAP has intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,327 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets.

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses, and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investment Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the additional resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Corporate Debt BBB-Rated Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers made manager and process changes in 2008 and early 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was at the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  Other than the mutual fund described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board also considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoint. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series Dividend Growth Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Class Y shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class X and Class Y shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to provide reasonable current income and long-term growth of income and capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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”).
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 advisor.
    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 advisor 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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.
K. Call Options Written — The Fund may write call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Written call options are recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised.
L. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .545%
 
Over $750 million
    0 .42%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .395%
 
Over $2 billion
    0 .37%
 
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund


 

  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.67% and Series II shares to 0.92% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. 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, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $10,132 and $871, respectively.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $5,039 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $45,840 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $82,180 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $207 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $60,866 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund


 

  The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
 
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Security 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
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund


 

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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,187,444 and securities sales of $13,480,207, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(7,560,205).
 
NOTE 6—Trustees’ 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 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 8—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss*
Expiration   Carryforward
 
December 31, 2010
  $ 106,916,000  
 
December 31, 2011
    48,222,000  
 
December 31, 2016
    19,117,000  
 
December 31, 2017
    37,214,000  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 211,469,000  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 9—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $83,469,208 and $125,123,060, 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 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. 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.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
  Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Series I and Series II shares to 0.67% and 0.92% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 0.67% and 0.92% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $3.20 and $4.40 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
4  The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $3.36 and $4.61 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board
 
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund


 

concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity
 
Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund


 

are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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 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
 
Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund


 

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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .745%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .73%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .715%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .70%

Invesco V.I. Dynamics 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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,016 and class level expenses of $2 for Series II shares.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $63,939 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,283,914 and securities sales of $998,647, which resulted in net realized gains of $300,066.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,355 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2010
  $ 55,297,523  
 
December 31, 2016
    15,509,594  
 
December 31, 2017
    10,534,011  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 81,341,128  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns.
(b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable.
(c) Calculated using average shares outstanding.
(d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000’s omitted) of $51,659 and $7 for Series I and Series II, respectively.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Mid-Cap Growth Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers indicated that much of the underperformance was concentrated in the second half of 2007 as a result of financial sector stock selection. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund. The Board also noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective sub-advisor fee rate of another mutual fund sub-advised by Invesco Advisers.
  Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly.
  The financial services sector is subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently. The profitability of businesses in this sector depends heavily on the availability and cost of money and may fluctuate significantly in response to changes to interest rates and general economic conditions.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .75%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .74%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .73%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .72%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .71%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .70%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .69%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .68%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver [and/or expense reimbursement] to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. 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, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,937.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts.

  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.

  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”).

Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,371 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss

Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 7—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $13,635,433 and $17,713,713, respectively.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was the same as the effective fee rate of the other mutual fund.
  Other than the mutual fund described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series Global Dividend Growth Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Class Y shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class X and Class Y shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to provide reasonable current income and long-term growth of income and capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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”).
 
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 and Corporate Loans. The mean between the last bid and asked prices may be used to value debt obligations other than 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $1 billion
    0 .67%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .645%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .62%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .595%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .57%
 
Over $4.5 billion
    0 .545%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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). Prior to the Reorganization, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited served as sub-adviser to the Acquired Fund.
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.94% and Series II shares to 1.19% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the
 
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund


 

following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $3,631 and $739, respectively.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $16,229 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $29,075 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $207 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $30,425 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 5—Trustees’ 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 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward (000’s)*
 
2016
  $ 3,068  
 
2017
    16,976  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 20,044  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $88,473,819 and $90,912,417, respectively.

Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund


 

NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. 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.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expense of Series I, and Series II shares to 0.94% and 1.19% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 0.94% and 1.19% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $4.45 and $5.63 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
4  The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $4.71 and $5.96 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. And Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund, (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund, and (iii) a Temporary Investment Services Agreement (TISA) by and among Invesco Advisers and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (the MS Sub-Adviser) for the possible provision of temporary investment services to the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the MS Sub-Adviser under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and MS Sub-Adviser
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
  The Board considered that the TISA is necessary because certain portfolio managers cannot be migrated to the Invesco Advisers front-end compliance system immediately upon reorganization with the Acquired Fund. The TISA permits those portfolio managers, who will remain employed by the MS Sub-Adviser for a temporary period following the reorganization with the Acquired Fund, to continue to be primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board considered that the MS Sub-Adviser had managed the Acquired Fund and that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved an investment advisory agreement with the MS Sub-Adviser. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the MS Sub-Adviser are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees paid under the TISA have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rates, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates
 
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund


 

provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. Given the temporary nature of the TISA, the Board did not consider the profitability of the MS Sub-Adviser.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Global Health Care Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Other Risks — The Fund may invest a large percentage of assets in securities of a limited number of companies, such that each investment may have a greater effect on the Fund’s overall performance, and any change in the value of those securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
  The Fund has invested in non-publicly traded companies, some of which are in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky, as the market for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. The Fund could lose its entire investment in these companies. These investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments in privately held venture capital securities are illiquid.
J. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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 Fund’s 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 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .75%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .74%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .73%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .72%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .71%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .70%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .69%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .68%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets, through at least. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. 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, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $7,447.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,794 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $201,942 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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
 
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund


 

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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $352,186.
 
NOTE 6—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,478 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 8—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Health/Biotechnology Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the third quintile for the three year period and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which included using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  The Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers and other Invesco Advisers affiliated investment advisers advise funds with comparable investment strategies in other jurisdictions; however, the Board did not consider comparisons of fees charged to those funds to be apt, as those fees may include more than investment management services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, the expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

During the reporting period, the Fund elected to use the Lipper VUF Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Category Average as its peer group rather than the Lipper VUF Global Core Funds Index because it more closely reflects the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests.
The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of developed countries.
     The Custom V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund Index, created by Invesco to serve as a benchmark for Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund, is composed of the following indexes: MSCI World (54%) and Barclays Capital U.S. Universal (46%).
     The Lipper VUF Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Category Average is an average of all the variable insurance underlying funds tracked by the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds category.
     The Lipper VUF Global Core Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of global core variable insurance underlying funds tracked by Lipper.
     The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.
     A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.74% and 0.99%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 2.37% and 2.62%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
     Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund, formerly AIM V.I. PowerShares ETF Allocation Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return consistent with a moderate level of risk relative to the broad stock market. The Fund primarily invests in exchange-traded funds (“underlying funds”) advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (“Invesco PowerShares”). The Fund may also invest in affiliated mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc (“Invesco”); in unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds and in other securities. Invesco and Invesco PowerShares (collectively the “Advisers”) are affiliates of each other as they are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. Invesco may change the Fund’s asset class allocations, the underlying funds or the target weightings in the underlying funds without shareholder approval. The underlying funds may engage in a number of investment techniques and practices, which involve certain risks. Each underlying fund’s accounting policies are outlined in the underlying fund’s financial statements and the affiliated underlying funds are available upon request.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
 
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund


 

A. Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
    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.
    Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Distributions from income from underlying funds, if any, are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gains from underlying funds, if any, are recorded as realized gains on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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. Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund


 

D. 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 Fund’s 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.
E. 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.
F. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
G. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .67%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .655%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .64%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .625%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .61%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .595%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .58%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .565%
 
 
  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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
  Effective April 30, 2010, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 Series I shares to 0.10% and Series II shares to 0.35% of average daily net assets. Prior to April 30, 2010, the Adviser had contractually agreed to limit total amount fund operating expense of Series I to 0.18% and Series II shares to 0.43% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and/or expense reimbursement” and (5) expenses of the underlying funds that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the underlying funds; and (6) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $179,676 and reimbursed Fund expenses of $90,217.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance

companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $67,158 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,353 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009.
 
NOTE 7—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $53,292,483 and $44,621,345, 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.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
  Effective April 30, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Series I and Series II shares to 0.10% and 0.35% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 0.10% and 0.35% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $0.49 and $1.72 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
4  The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $0.50 and $1.76 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve the Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses, and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investment Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who will provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the additional resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board noted that the Fund recently began operations and that only one calendar year of comparative performance data was available. The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past calendar year to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board noted that the Fund is a fund of funds and invests its assets principally in underlying funds rather than directly in individual securities. The Board considered the tactical asset allocation provided for the Fund, which is in contrast to the more static allocation models utilized by the Invesco Balanced-Risk and Asset Allocation funds.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board considered the effect this fee waiver would have on the fund’s total estimated expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the underlying funds fees, the advisory fee after fee waivers and fee and expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. It is not anticipated that the Fund will execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Global Real Estate Fund, (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity
 
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund


 

are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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.
  The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly.
  The Fund concentrates its assets in the real estate industry, an investment in the fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural or technological developments.
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 Fund’s 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.

Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund


 

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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,463.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,794 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $166,549 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund


 

  The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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 4—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,446 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund


 

  The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Limited currently manages certain assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper
 
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund


 

performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Real Estate Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the second quintile for the three year period and the first quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of the Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers and two domestic mutual funds sub-advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers and at or below the total account fee for the two mutual funds subadvised by Invesco Advisers.
  The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund


 

    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.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund


 

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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Other Risks — The Funds may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
J. Dollar Roll and Forward Commitment Transactions — The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date.
    In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a “fee” or a “drop”. “Fee” income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the “drop” which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act.
    Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations.
    At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated.
    Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold.
    Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund’s overall interest rate exposure.
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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund


 

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. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
M. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .50%
 
Over $250 million
    0 .45%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.73% and Series II shares to 0.98% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $178,250.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $144,518 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,497,043 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund


 

providing such services. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,743 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
 
NOTE 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund


 

  The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2017
  $ 56,450,047  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $438,827,278 and $390,526,481, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $0 and $13,497,604, 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.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses, and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investment Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the additional resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — General U.S. Government Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the second quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the fun was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above for the three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board also considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the advisory fee after fee waivers and expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

During the reporting period, the Fund elected to use the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index as its style-specific index rather than the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index because it will better align the Fund’s style-specific index with the Fund’s investment process and restrictions.
     The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate bond market.
     The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index is an unmanaged index that covers U.S. corporate, fixed-rate, non-investment grade debt with at least one year to maturity and at least $150 million in par outstanding. Index weights for each issuer are capped at 2%.
     The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index is an unmanaged index that covers the universe of fixed-rate, noninvestment-grade debt.
     The Lipper VUF High Current Yield Bond Funds Category Average represents an average of all of the variable insurance underlying funds in the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds category.
     The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.
     A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

Performance includes litigation proceeds. Had these proceeds not been received, total return would have been lower.
Series II shares incepted on March 26, 2002. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Series I shares, restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Series II. Series I performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.95% and 1.20%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.22% and 1.47%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
     Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.
     Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, performance would have been lower.
 
1   Total annual Fund operating expenses after any contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the adviser in effect through at least April 30, 2011. See current prospectus for more information.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund, formerly AIM V.I. High Yield Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
    Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
    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
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund


 

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.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Lower-Rated Securities — The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.
J. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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 Fund’s 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 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $200 million
    0 .625%
 
Next $300 million
    0 .55%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .50%
 
Over $1 billion
    0 .45%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, 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 Series I shares to 0.95% and Series II shares to 1.20% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver [and/or expense reimbursement] to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $61,348.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,794 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $68,185 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s assigned level:
    Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund


 

    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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,364 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
 
NOTE 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses, and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investment Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the additional resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — High Current Yield Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the second quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was at the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  Other than the mutual fund described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts in a manner substantially similar to the management of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board also considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the advisory fee after fee waivers and expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes three breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series - High Yield Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Class Y shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class X and Class Y shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting principally of fixed-income securities, which may include both non-convertible and convertible debt securities and preferred stocks. As a secondary objective the Fund will seek capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its primary objective.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund


 

    Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
    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.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities 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 Fund’s 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 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 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, which is generally 45 days from the period-end date.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Lower-Rated Securities — The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.
J. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $500 million
    0 .42%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .345%
 
Next $250 billion
    0 .295%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .27%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .245%
 
Over $3 billion
    0 .22%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.75% and Series II shares to 2.00% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above:
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund


 

(1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waiver or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $133,179 and $863, respectively.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $6,571 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $11,025 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements with State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $208 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees $17,330 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ 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 5—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 6—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

NOTE 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. 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.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for
breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services.
 
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund


 

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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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 Fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the Fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the Fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q filings are available on the SEC website, sec.gov. Copies of the Fund’s Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room, including information about duplicating fee charges, by calling 202 551 8090 or 800 732 0330, or by electronic request at the following email address: publicinfo@sec.gov. The SEC file numbers for the Fund are 811-07452 and 033-57340. The Fund’s most recent portfolio holdings, as filed on Form N-Q, have also been made available to insurance companies issuing variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”) that invest in the Fund.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, from our Client Services department at 800 410 4246 or on the Invesco website, invesco.com/proxyguidelines.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class X and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund. Returns shown above for Series I and Series II shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.02% and 1.27%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.35% and 1.60%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
     Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, charges,
expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.
     Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses, performance would have been lower.
1   Total annual operating expenses less any contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the adviser in effect through at least June 30, 2012. See current prospectus.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series Income Builder Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Class Y shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class X and Class Y shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek reasonable income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity
 
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund


 

are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
    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.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
Invesco V.I. Income Builder 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 Fund’s 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 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 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, which is generally 45 days from the period-end date.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $500 million
    0.67%  
 
Over $500 million
    0.645%  
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to
 
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund


 

1.02% and Series II shares to 1.27% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $323 and $2,811, respectively.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $6,288 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $10,921 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $207 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $16,369 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $18,896 and securities sales of $1,133, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $232.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
December 31, 2017
  $ 4,529,599  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $3,501,483 and $5,697,994, 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.

Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund


 

NOTE 11 — Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expense of Series I, and Series II shares to 1.02% and 1.27% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.02% and 1.27% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $4.93 and $6.13 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
4  The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.11 and $6.36 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.

Approval of Investment Advisory and sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco
 
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund


 

Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .75%
 
Over $250 million
    0 .70%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $112,581.
 
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund


 

  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $194,924 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,183,718 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund


 

  The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $30,109, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(1,349).
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,654 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2016
  $ 87,932,439  
 
December 31, 2017
    143,189,697  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 231,122,136  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $361,240,191 and $1,174,285,293, 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.

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 56% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.

Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years
 
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund


 

to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — International Growth Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the first quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was below the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers sub-advises other mutual funds with similar investment strategies and that the sub-advisory fee is below the advisory fee for the Fund.
  The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Performance includes litigation proceeds. Had these proceeds not been received, total return would have been lower.


The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.02% and 1.27%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.16% and 1.41%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense
ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
     Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246.
     As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.
     Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have been lower.
1   Total annual Fund operating expenses after any contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the adviser in effect through at least April 30, 2011. See current prospectus for more information.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .695%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .67%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .645%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .62%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .595%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .57%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .545%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .52%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses 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. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $47,692.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $78,437 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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
 
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund


 

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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $6,437,110 and securities sales of $2,321,577, which resulted in net realized gains of $447,212.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,371 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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.

(a) Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns.
(b) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable.
(c) Calculated using average shares outstanding.
(d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000’s omitted) of $65,605 and $625 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
(e) Includes litigation proceeds received during the period. Had the litigation proceeds not been received net gains (losses) on securities (both realized and unrealized) per share would have been $2.44 and $2.41 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively and total returns would have been lower.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper
 
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund


 

performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Large-Cap Growth Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers advised the Board noted that the portfolio management team has a conservative, quality bias that underperformed during the low-quality rally in 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers sub-advises two other mutual funds and the effective sub-advisory fee rate is below the advisory effective fee rate of the Fund.
  The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board also considered the effect this expense limitation would have on the Fund’s estimated total expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information and the expense limitation discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Leisure Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital growth.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly.
  The leisure sector depends on consumer discretionary spending, which generally falls during economic downturns.
J. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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 Fund’s 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 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.

(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 April 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets. In determining the adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses 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. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursement prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $63,778.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $25,307 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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
 
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund


 

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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
 
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other AIM 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 advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $196,263 and securities sales of $136,726, which resulted in net realized gains of $17,892.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,322 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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.

Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The
 
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund


 

Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fifth quintile for the three year period and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that Invesco Advisers made changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team in 2009, and Invesco Advisers advised the Board that the team has a conservative, quality bias that underperformed during the low-quality rally in 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was the same as the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  Other than the mutual fund described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board also considered the effect this fee waiver would have on the Fund’s total estimated expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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
 
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund


 

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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to
 
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund


 

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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $500 million
    0 .725%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .70%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .675%
 
Over $1.5 billion
    0 .65%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses 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. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $54,725.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $59,478 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $587,400 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s assigned level:
    Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
 
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund


 

    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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
 
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $10,254,905 and securities sales of $10,717,006, which resulted in net realized gains of $674,870.
 
NOTE 6—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,869 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 8—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper
 
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund


 

performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Mid-Cap Core Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile for the one year period and the first quintile of its performance universe for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was at the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the rate for the other mutual fund.
  The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes three breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Money Market Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 twenty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. Security Valuations — The Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts.
  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, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.
  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 realized gain (loss) from investment securities
 
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund


 

reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares 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 issuer’s 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 are declared daily and paid monthly to separate accounts of participating insurance companies. Distributions from net realized gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are securities consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and may consist of U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities and/or, Investment Grade Debt Securities. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .40%
 
Over $250 million
    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 Trimark 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).
 
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund


 

  The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) extraordinary or non-routine items, including payments to participate in the United States Treasury Temporary Guarantee Program (the “Program”); (4) expenses related to a merger or reorganization, as approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
  The Adviser and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc., (“IDI”) voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the Fund’s yield. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco voluntarily waived advisory fees of $159,233 and reimbursed class level expenses of $1,836 for Series II shares.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,794 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $28,528 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,520,060 and securities sales of $660,016.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,338 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York Mellon, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  The Fund did not have a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses, and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investment Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the additional resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Money Market Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fourth quintile for the three year period and the fifth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that the Fund has historically been priced consistent with its role as a conduit to and from other Invesco Advisers products, which impacts performance. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual advisory fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers and above the sub-adviser effective fee rate of the fund sub-advised by Invesco Advisers.
  Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts in a manner substantially similar to the management of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoint. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Class Y shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class X and Class Y shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond to the total return (i.e., the combination of capital changes and income) of the Standard & Poor’s® 500 Composite Stock Price Index.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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”).
 
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund


 

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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
J. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $2 billion
    0 .12%
 
Over $2 billion
    0 .10%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.28% and Series II shares to 0.53% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time.
  Prior to the Reorganization, MSIA had voluntarily agreed to cap operating expenses (except for brokerage and 12b-1 fees) by assuming the Acquired Fund’s “other expenses” and/or waiving the Acquired Fund’s advisory fees, and Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (the “MSSCI”) had agreed to waive the Acquired Fund’s administrative fees, to the extent such operating expenses exceed 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Acquired Fund on an annualized basis.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $22,290 and $418, respectively.
 
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund


 

  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $24,401 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $42,859 to MSSCI.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $207 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $93,623 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
 
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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.

NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. 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.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco
 
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund


 

Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund. Returns shown above for Series I and Series II shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.37% and 0.62%, respectively. 1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most
recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.60% and 0.85%, respectively.

     Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (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 forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Funds covered in this report are Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund, Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (each “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to each Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Balanced Portfolio, Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Portfolio and Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Portfolio (each “Acquired Fund”) operated as a separate portfolio of Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series. Each Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to each Fund (the “Reorganization”).
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds


 

  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of each Acquired Fund’s Class X and Class Y shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of each corresponding Fund.
  Information for each Acquired Fund’s — Class X and Class Y shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of each corresponding Fund throughout this report.
  The investment objective’s: to provide capital growth with reasonable current income for Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund; to provide reasonable current income and long-term growth of income and capital for Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund; and to achieve a high level of total return on its assets through a combination of capital appreciation and current income for Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
  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.
  Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
  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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds


 

  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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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 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, which is generally 45 days from the period-end date.
H. Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds


 

K. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. Call Options Written — The Fund may write call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Written call options are recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised.
M. Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk.
  Interest rate, total return, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
  A CDS is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement.
  Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
  Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds


 

possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations.
N. Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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, each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of such Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

    0 .10%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, each Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of such Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to such Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I and Series II shares of each Fund as shown in the following table:
 
                 
    Series I   Series II
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund
    0.82 %     1.07 %
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund
    0.72 %     0.97 %
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
    0.37 %     0.62 %
 
  In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, to waive the advisory fee payable by each Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by such Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by each Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.

  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for each Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to such Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). Each Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of such Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of such Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, each Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of such Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares as shown in the following table:

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s assigned level:
    Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds


 

    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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

NOTE 5—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Funds engaged in the following transactions with Affiliated Funds:
 
                         
            Realized Gains
    Purchases   Sales   (Losses)

NOTE 6—Trustees’ 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 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 8—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees of other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. 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.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Agreements
(Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund, Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund)
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of each series portfolio of Invesco Variable Insurance Funds (each, a Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add each Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under each Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
Each Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (each, an Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, no Fund had any assets or any performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of each Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
1.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to each Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve each Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to each Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which each Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit each Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing each Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
2.  Fund Performance
Each Fund will retain the performance track record of its Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of each Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed each Acquired Fund. The Board did not view fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of any Fund.
 
3.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of each Fund is the same as that of its Acquired Fund, that the board of each Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of each Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of each Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to each Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on any Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of each Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
4.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to each Fund. The Board also considered whether each Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that each Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that each Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
5.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that each Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under each Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
6.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with each Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the
 
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds


 

performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to each Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to each Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 each Fund and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that any Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by each Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that each Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund, (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
 
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund


 

  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund


 

G. Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .745%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .73%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .715%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .70%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .685%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .67%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .655%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .64%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.15% and Series II shares to 1.40% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses 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. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. 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, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $4,419.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
 
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund


 

  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $263,967 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $95,723.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,506 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2016
  $ 12,193,641  
 
December 31, 2017
    22,760,741  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 34,954,382  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $56,095,759 and $40,384,615, 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.

Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Small-Cap Core Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the second quintile for the three year period and the first quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that the investment management team has a conservative, quality bias that underperformed during the low-quality rally in 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers serves as a sub-adviser to two mutual funds and that the effective fee sub-advisory rate is below the effective fee advisory rate for the Fund.
  Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts in a manner substantially similar to the management of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Technology Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity
 
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund


 

are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
  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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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 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
 
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund


 

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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly.
  Many of the products and services offered in technology-related industries are subject to rapid obsolescence, which may lower the value of the securities of the companies in this sector.
J. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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 Fund’s 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 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $250 million
    0 .75%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .74%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .73%
 
Next $1.5 billion
    0 .72%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .71%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .70%
 
Next $2.5 billion
    0 .69%
 
Over $10 billion
    0 .68%
 
 
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses 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. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. 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, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,973.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $144,278 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 period January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $5,780.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,425 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to utilizing $47,527,413 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Technology Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Science & Technology Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers made changes to the Fund’s portfolio management team in 2008 and added a co-manager in 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  Other than the mutual fund described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts in a manner substantially similar to the management of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund, formerly AIM V.I. Utilities Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  The Fund’s investment objectives are long-term growth of capital and secondarily, current income.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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
 
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund


 

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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to
 
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund


 

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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly.
    The Fund may invest a large percentage of assets in securities of a limited number of companies, such that each investment may have a greater effect on the Fund’s overall performance, and any change in the value of those securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
    Government regulation, difficulties in obtaining adequate financing and investment return, environmental issues, prices of fuel for generation of electricity, availability of natural gas, risks associated with power marketing and trading, and risks associated with nuclear power facilities may adversely affect the market value of the Fund’s holdings.
J. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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 Fund’s 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 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 2—Advisory 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 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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 April 30, 2011, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.93% and Series II shares to 1.18% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual operating expenses 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. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to each fiscal year.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $39,315.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $24,795 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $75,079 for services provided by insurance companies.
  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. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund


 

  The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,374 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
 
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2017
  $ 3,645,250  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 7—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2,910,356 and $4,800,948, 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.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-advisory Contracts
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
  During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
  In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
  The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
  In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
  The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
 
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund


 

B.  Fund Performance
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
  The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper VA Underlying Funds — Utility Index. The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its Lipper performance universe for the one year period, the third quintile for the three year period and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Series I shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate of Series I shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year.
  The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was below the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund.
  Other than the mutual fund described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
  The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board also considered the effect this fee waiver would have on the Fund’s total estimated expenses.
  The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the advisory fee after fee waivers and expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund did not benefit from breakpoints, but did share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
  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 the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
 
 
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one 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. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each portfolio or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Capital Growth Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II Shares received Series I and Series II Shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I and Class II Shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II Shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II Shares, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Security Valuation — 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund


 

    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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
    Level 1 — Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
    Level 2 — Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.
    Level 3 — Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
    The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
C. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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.
D. Income and Expenses — Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
    The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax law which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $164,997,039, which will expire according to the following schedule:
 
             
Amount   Expiration
 
$ 144,941,795       December 31, 2010  
 
  1,891,381       December 31, 2011  
 
  12,927,582       December 31, 2016  
 
  5,236,281       December 31, 2017  
 
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund


 

    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
  $ 14,661,332  
 
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities
    (14,013,804 )
 
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities
  $ 647,528  
 
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $167,519,184.
       
 
F. Distribution of Income and Gains — The Fund declares and pays dividends at least annually from net investment income and from net realized gains, if any. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions from the Fund are recorded on the ex-distribution date.
    The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:
 
         
 
Distributions paid from:
       
Ordinary income
  $ 60,146  
 
Return of Capital
    11,587  
 
    $ 71,733  
 
    Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes and the deferral of losses relating to wash sale transactions.
G. Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at rates prevailing when accrued. Unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in exchange rates and the unrealized gains or losses on translations of other assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign currency translation on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in exchange rates and the realized gains or losses on translations of other assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
H. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
 
NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Daily Net Assets   % Per Annum
 
First $500 million
    0 .70%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .65%
 
Over $1 billion
    0 .60%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Funds’s average daily net assets.
  Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Funds 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, 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).
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund


 

  Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I Shares to 0.84% and Series II Shares to 1.09% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 period ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under this agreement.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $2,376 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $20,756 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investment Inc., provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $10,997 to Van Kampen Investments Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $8,107 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer Agent Fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
  “Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of approximately $0 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Acquired Fund, totaling $2,138.

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 54% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. IDI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
 
NOTE 4—Investment Transactions
 
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments and money market funds, were $105,383,262 and $107,116,554, respectively.
 
NOTE 5—Distribution and Service Plans
 
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II Shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II Shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II Shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II Shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $114,899 to Van Kampen Funds Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Funds’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
 
NOTE 6—Indemnifications
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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 8—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Expense example
 
As a policyholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and 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 the 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 1/1/10–6/30/10.
 
Actual expense
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 cost of investing in the Fund and other portfolios. 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, or exchanges.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
 
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund


 

terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
 
 
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one 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. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each portfolio or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Comstock Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II Shares received Series I and Series II Shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I and Class II Shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II Shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital growth and income through investments in equity securities, including common and preferred stocks and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II Shares, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund


 

    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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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.

Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
    Level 1— Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
    Level 2— Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.
    Level 3— Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
    The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
C. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis.
    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 on 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share on the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported on 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 on the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
D. Income and Expenses — Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
    The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $598,306,138, which will expire according to the following schedule:
 
             
Amount   Expiration Date
 
$ 257,208,309       December 31, 2016  
 
  341,097,829       December 31, 2017  
 
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund


 

    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
  $ 34,542,296  
 
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities
    (423,850,211 )
 
Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities
  $ (389,307,915 )
 
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,919,769,387.
 
F. Distribution of Income and Gains — The Fund declares and pays dividends at least annually from net investment income and net realized gains, if any. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions from the Fund are recorded on the ex-distribution date.
    The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 was as follows:
 
         
Distributions paid from:
       
Ordinary income
  $ 103,611,352  
 
 
    As of December 31, 2009, the component of distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:
 
         
Undistributed ordinary income
  $ 3,091,375  
 
 
    Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of the deferral of losses relating to wash sale transactions.
 
NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Daily Net Assets   % Per Annum
 
First $500 million
    0 .60%
 
Over $500 million
    0 .55%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, 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 on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I Shares to 0.62% and Series II Shares to 0.87% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Advisor did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
  Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Acquired Fund for all expenses as a percentage of average daily net assets in excess of 0.95% and 1.20% for Class I and Class II Shares, respectively. Van Kampen did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this agreement.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under this agreement.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $30,740 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $340,343 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $132,079 to Van Kampen Investments Inc.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund


 

  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $6,763 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer Agent Fees”.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
  “Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $0 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Acquired Fund, totaling $310,622.

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 79% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. IDI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially.
 
NOTE 4—Investment Transactions
 
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investment and money market funds, were $210,781,964 and $822,849,539, respectively.
 
NOTE 5—Derivative Financial Instruments
 
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.
  The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio or to manage the Fund’s foreign currency exposure or to generate potential gain. All of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in the unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized. Risk may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
  Summarized below are specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund


 

A. Futures Contracts — The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of equities. A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated in the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (the variation margin). When entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears the risk of securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against defaults. The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Restricted cash, if any, for segregating purposes is shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
    Transactions in futures contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were as follows:

Outstanding at December 31, 2009

Futures Opened
    11,184  
 
Futures Closed
    (11,184 )
 
Outstanding at June 30, 2010
    -0-  
 
 
    The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. GAAP has intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.
    The following table sets forth by primary risk exposure the Fund’s realized gains/losses by type of derivative contract for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

NOTE 6—Distribution and Service Plans
 
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II Shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II Shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II Shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II Shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $2,234,083 to Van Kampen Funds Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II Shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed on the Statement of Operations as “Distribution (12b-1) and Service Fees”.
 
NOTE 7—Indemnifications
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund


 

NOTE 9—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Expense Example
 
As a policyholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
  The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 1/1/10 — 6/30/10.
 
Actual Expense
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 cost 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or exchanges fees.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for
breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund


 

provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds Equity and Income Portfolio (“the Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (“the Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class II shares received Series II shares of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class II shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series II shares of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objectives are both capital appreciation and current income.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
    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
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund


 

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.
    Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund


 

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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $150 million
    0 .50%
 
Next $100 million
    0 .45%
 
Next $100 million
    0 .40%
 
Over $350 million
    0 .35%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has 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 Series I shares to 0.70% and Series II shares to 0.75% of average daily net assets, through at least April 30, 2011. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class II shares to 1.00% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund


 

  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, MS Investment Management waived advisory fees of $21,238.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $13,756 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $140,583 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $726,282 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $3,214 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. IDI has contractually agreed to waive 0.20% of Rule 12b-1 plan fees on Series II shares through at least June 30, 2012.
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to Morgan Stanley Distribution Inc. (the “MSDI”) based on the annual rate of 0.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. MSDI had voluntarily agreed to waive 0.30% distribution fee that it received from the Acquired Fund. MSDI was paid distribution fees of $145,245 after fee waivers of $580,557.
  12b-1 fees before fee waivers under this agreement are shown as Distribution fees in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, fees incurred after fee waivers for Series II shares were $173,361.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 5—Trustees’ 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 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss

(h) The Adviser reimbursed the Fund for losses incurred on derivative transactions which breached an investment guideline of the Fund during the period. The impact of this reimbursement is reflected in the total return shown above. Without this reimbursement, the total return for Series II would have been (22.68)%.
(i) Amount is less than 0.005%.
 
NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 Series I shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Series I shares in the below example are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business June 1, 2010 (the date the share class commenced operations) and held through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Series I shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Series I 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 for the Series I shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Series I shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 30 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010)/365. Because the Series I 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.
  Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Series II shares to 0.75% of average daily net assets. The annualized expense ratio restated as if this agreement had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year is 0.75%.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year is $3.63 for the Series II shares.
4  Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Series I shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period.
  The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year is $3.76 for the Series II shares.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
  The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund


 

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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund


 

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2010
 
 
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund (the ”Fund”) is organized as a series of the Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the ”Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ”1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one 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. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Portfolio or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Global Tactical Asset Allocation Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II Shares received Series I and Series II Shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I and Class II Shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II Shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation over time by investing primarily in a diversified mix of equity securities and fixed income securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I Shares and Series II Shares, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund


 

  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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
    Level 1 — Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
    Level 2 — Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.
    Level 3 — Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
C. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis.
  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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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.
D. Income and Expenses — Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. 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 issuer’s 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.
F. Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses in the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, the tax period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Net unrealized (depreciation) on investment securities
  $ (1,123,142 )
 
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $56,317,159.
       
 
G. Distribution of Income and Gains — The Fund declares and pays dividends at least annually from net investment income and net realized gains, if any. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions from the Fund are recorded on the ex-distribution date.
  The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended December 31, 2009 was as follows:
 
         
 
Distributions paid from:
       
Ordinary income
  $ 5,145,625  
 
Long-term capital gain
    708,171  
 
    $ 5,853,796  
 
  As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
 
         
 
Undistributed ordinary income
  $ 1,157,086  
 
Undistributed long-term capital gain
    389,877  
 
  Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of mark to market on open futures contracts and deferral of losses relating to wash sale transactions.
H. Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at rates prevailing when accrued. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities resulting from changes in exchange rates are not segregated for financial reporting purposes from amounts arising from changes in the market prices of securities. The unrealized gains and losses on translations of other assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign currency translation in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations include the net realized amount from the sale of the foreign currency and the amount realized between trade date and settlement date on security transactions.
I. Offering Costs — Offering costs are amortized, on a straight-line basis, over a twelve month period.
 
NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Daily Net Assets   % Per Annum
 
First $750 million
  0. 75 %
 
Next $750 million
  . 0.70 %
 
Over $1.5 billion
  0. 65 %
 
 
  Prior to the reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.90% and Series II shares to 1.15% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and the Adviser mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. For the period June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive advisory fees under this limitation.
  Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Acquired Fund’s Series I and the Acquired Fund’s Series II Shares resulting in net expense ratios of 0.90% and 1.15%, respectively. For the period July 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010 Van Kampen waived advisory fees of $126,656.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under the agreement.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund


 

  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $12,464 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments, Inc. provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, the Acquired Fund paid $38.001 to Van Kampen Investments Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $6,508 to Van Kampen Investor Services, Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as “Transfer Agent Fees”.
  Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund 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 Trimark 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).
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
  “Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $0 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Acquired Fund, totaling $37,343.

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of long-term U.S. Government Securities for the period were $0 and $1,891,527, respectively.
 
NOTE 5—Risks of Investing in Underlying Funds
 
Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Underlying Funds’ shares and therefore the value of the Fund’s investments.
  Each Underlying Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information discuss the investment objectives and risks associated with each Underlying Fund. Copies of these documents along with the Underlying Fund’s financial statements are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website, http://www.sec.gov.
 
NOTE 6—Derivative Financial Instruments
 
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.
  The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio or to manage the Fund’s foreign currency exposure or to generate potential gain. All of the Fund’s holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized accordingly except when taking delivery of a security underlying a contract. In these instances, the recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security underlying the contract.
  The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. GAAP has intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.
A. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to attempt to protect securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translation in the Statement of Operations. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original value of the contract and the closing value of such contract is included as a component of realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Risks may also arise from the unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of forward foreign currency contracts were $218,786,080 and $213,068,316 respectively.
B. Futures Contracts — The Fund is subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (variation margin). When entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears the risk of interest or exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Restricted cash, if any, for segregating purposes is shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
  Transactions in futures contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were as follows:

Outstanding at December 31, 2009

C. Swap Contracts — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk.
  Interest rate, total return, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
  A CDS is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement.
  Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
  Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the average notional amount of total return swap contracts entered into by the Fund was $15,196,000.

NOTE 7—Distribution and Service Plans
 
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II Shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II Shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II Shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II Shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $103,780 to Van Kampen Funds Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Funds’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as “Distribution (12b-1) and Service Fees”.
 
NOTE 8—Indemnifications
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 9—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the period did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Expense Example
 
As a policyholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
  The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 1/1/10-6/30/10.
 
Actual Expense
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 cost 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or exchanges fees.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as the Board was not advised whether an Affiliated Sub-Adviser would manage assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund


 

that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Series I shares of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund. Returns shown above for Series I shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
     Series II shares incepted on June 1, 2010. Series II shares performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class I shares restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to the fund’s Series II shares. Class I shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The inception date of the predecessor fund’s Class I shares is January 2, 1997.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.15% and 1.40%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.31% and 1.56%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
     Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

NOTE 1— Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Funds Global Value Equity Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund Class I shares received Series I shares of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund — Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I shares of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers throughout the world, including U.S. issuers.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund


 

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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund


 

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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $1 billion
    0 .67%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .645%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .62%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .595%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .57%
 
Over $4.5 billion
    0 .545%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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). Prior to the Reorganization, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited served as sub-adviser to the Acquired Fund.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund


 

  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.15% and Series II shares to 1.40% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I shares to 1.15% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, MS Investment Management waived advisory fees of $15.
  At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $8,266 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $46,176 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $568 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund


 

  The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
 
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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report

Calculating your Ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 Series II shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Series II shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business June 1, 2010 (the date the share class commenced operations) and held through June 30, 2010.
 
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Series II). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Series II 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 (as of close of business June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Series II shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Series II shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 30 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010)/365. Because the Series II 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
  
  Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Series I and Series II shares to 1.15% and 1.40% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.15% and 1.40% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.44 and $1.14 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
4  Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Series I shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period.
  
  The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.76 and $7.00 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund, (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund, and (iii) a Temporary Investment Services Agreement (TISA) by and among Invesco Advisers and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (the MS Sub-Adviser) for the possible provision of temporary investment services to the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the MS Sub-Adviser under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and MS Sub-Adviser
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
  The Board considered that the TISA is necessary because certain portfolio managers cannot be migrated to the Invesco Advisers front-end compliance system immediately upon reorganization with the Acquired Fund. The TISA permits those portfolio managers, who will remain employed by the MS Sub-Adviser for a temporary period following the reorganization with the Acquired Fund, to continue to be primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board considered that the MS Sub-Adviser had managed the Acquired Fund and that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved an investment advisory agreement with the MS Sub-Adviser. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the MS Sub-Adviser are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as the Board was not advised whether an Affiliated Sub-Adviser would manage assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees paid under the TISA have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rates, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund


 

Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. Given the temporary nature of the TISA, the Board did not consider the profitability of the MS Sub-Adviser.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund


 

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
 
 
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one 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 Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each portfolio or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Government Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II Shares received Series I and Series II Shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I and Class II Shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II Shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide investors with high current return consistent with preservation of capital.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II Shares, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Security Valuation — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy.
  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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
  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.
  Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
  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 trades 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 economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund


 

  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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
  Level 1 — Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
  Level 2 — Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.
  Level 3 — Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
C. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis.
  The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued”, “delayed delivery” or “forward commitment” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. Purchasing securities on this basis involves a risk that the market value at the time of delivery may be lower than the agreed upon purchase price resulting in an unrealized loss. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued, delayed delivery or forward purchase commitments until payment is made. At June 30, 2010, the Fund had $4,278,654 of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward purchase commitments.
  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 on 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share on the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 on the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
D. Income and Expenses — Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
  The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. During the prior fiscal year, the Fund utilized capital losses carried forward of $8,076,228. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $10,072,819 which will expire on December 31, 2016.

Realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes in exchange rates and the realized gains or losses on translations of other assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations.
 
NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Daily Net Assets   % Per Annum
 
First $500 million
    0 .50%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .45%
 
Over $1 billion
    0 .40%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Funds’s average daily net assets.
  Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund 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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I Shares to 0.60% and Series II Shares to 0.85% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. For the period June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $45,567 under this limitation.
  Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I and Class II Shares resulting in net expense ratios of 0.60% and 0.85%, respectively. Van Kampen did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this agreement.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under this agreement.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund


 

  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $6,748 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $64,370 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $33,787 to Van Kampen Investments Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $8,024 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer Agent Fees.”
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
  “Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of approximately $0 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund


 

NOTE 5—Derivative Financial Instruments
 
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or index.
  The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio or to manage the Fund’s foreign currency exposure or to generate potential gain. All of the Fund’s holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized.
  Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.
A. Futures Contracts — The Fund is subject to interest rate risk or exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of interest rates or exchange rates. A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, or with its custodian in an account in the broker’s name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract (variation margin). When entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears the risk of interest or exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
  Transactions in futures contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were as follows:
 
         
    Contracts
 
Outstanding at December 31, 2009
    669  
 
Futures Opened
    3,301  
 
Futures Closed
    (3,604 )
 
Outstanding at June 30, 2010
    366  
 
 
B. Option Contracts — The Fund is subject to interest rate risk or exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursing its investment objectives. The Fund may use options contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of interest rates or exchange rates. An option contract gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying item at a fixed exercise (strike) price during a specified period. The Fund may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying (or similar) instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying (or similar) instrument. When entering into purchased option contracts, the Fund bears the risk of interest or exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the purchased option contracts; however the risk of loss is limited to the premium paid. Purchased options are reported as part of “Total Investments” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses.
  The Fund may write covered call and put options. Writing put options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying securities to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying security may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. There is the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
  There were no transactions in written call options for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
C. Interest Rate Swaps — The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Fund holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts, including inflation asset swaps. Interest rate swaps, including inflation asset swaps, are contractual agreements to exchange interest payments calculated on a predetermined notional principal amount except in the case of inflation asset swaps where the principal amount is periodically adjusted for inflation. Interest rate swaps generally involve one party paying a fixed interest rate and the other party paying a variable rate. The Fund will usually enter into interest rate swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payments are netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Fund accrues the net amount with respect to each swap on a daily basis. This net amount is recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. In a zero-coupon interest rate swap, payments only occur at maturity, at which time one counterparty pays the total compounded fixed rate over the life of the swap and the other pays the total compounded floating rate that would have been earned had a series of LIBOR investments been rolled over through the life of the swap. Upon cash settlement of the payments, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap contracts on the Statement of Operations. The risks of interest rate swaps include changes in market conditions that will affect the value of the contract or the cash flows and the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the agreement. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty of the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund


 

the counterparty and by posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts entered into by the Fund was $103,242
  Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps. Therefore, swaps are subject to the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty. If there is a default by the counterparty to a swap agreement, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. Counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the valuation of each swap) on behalf of the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate. Cash collateral is disclosed in the table following the Schedule of Investments. Cash collateral has been offset against open swap contracts and are included within “Swap Contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For cash collateral received, the Fund pays a monthly fee to the counterparty based on the effective rate for Federal Funds. This fee, when paid, is included within realized loss on swap contracts on the Statement of Operations.
  The following table sets forth the fair value of the Fund’s derivative contracts by primary risk exposure as of June 30, 2010.

NOTE 6—Mortgage Backed Securities
 
The Fund may invest in various types of Mortgage Backed Securities. A Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) is a pass-through security created by pooling mortgages and selling participations in the principal and interest payments received from borrowers. Most of these securities are guaranteed by federally sponsored agencies — Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). GNMA is a wholly owned corporate instrumentality of the United States whose securities and guarantees are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. FNMA, a federally chartered and privately owned corporation, and FHLMC, a federal corporation, are instrumentalities of the United States. Securities of FNMA and FHLMC include those issued in principal only or interest only components. On September 7, 2008, FNMA and FHLMC were placed into conservatorship by their new regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Simultaneously, the U.S. Treasury made a commitment of indefinite duration to maintain the positive net worth of both entities. No assurance can be given that the initiatives discussed above with respect to the debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC will be successful. A Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO) is a bond, which is collateralized by a pool of MBS’s.
  These securities derive their value from or represent interests in a pool of mortgages, or mortgage securities. Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk — the risk that, as mortgage interest rates fall, borrowers will refinance and “prepay” principal. A fund holding mortgage securities that are experiencing prepayments will have to reinvest these payments at lower prevailing interest rates. On the other hand, when interest rates rise, borrowers are less likely to refinance resulting in lower prepayments. This can effectively extend the maturity of a fund’s mortgage securities resulting in greater price volatility. It can be difficult to measure precisely the remaining life of a mortgage security or the average life of a portfolio of such securities.
  To the extent a fund invests in mortgage securities offered by non-governmental issuers, such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers, the Fund may be subject to additional risks. Timely payment of interest and principal of non-governmental issuers are supported by various forms of private insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance purchased by the issuer. There can be no assurance that the private insurers can meet their obligations under the policies.
  An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of a mortgage backed security and could result in losses to a Fund. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages. Subprime mortgages refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payment on their mortgages.
 
NOTE 7—Distribution and Service Plans
 
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II Shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II Shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II Shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II Shares of the
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund


 

Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $292,458 to Van Kampen Funds Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Funds’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed on the Statement of Operations as “Distribution (12b-1) and Service fees.”
 
NOTE 8—Indemnifications
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 9—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Expense Example
 
As a policyholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and 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 the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
  The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 1/1/10 — 6/30/10.
 
Actual Expense
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 cost 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or exchanges fees.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.60% and 0.85% for Series I and II Shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). These expense ratios reflect an expense waiver.
Assumes all dividends and distributions were reinvested.

  The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund


 

services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund


 

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
 
 
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”), is organized as a series of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one 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. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each portfolio or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Growth and Income Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II Shares received Series I and Series II Shares, respectively of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I and Class II Shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II Shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital and income through investments in equity securities, including common and preferred stocks and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II Shares, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Security Valuation — 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund


 

  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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
  Level 1 — Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
  Level 2— Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.
  Level 3— Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
C. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis.
  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 on 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share on the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported on 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 on the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
D. Income and Expenses — Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Daily Net Assets   % Per Annum
 
First $500 million
    0 .60%
 
Over $500 million
    0 .55%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Funds’s average daily net assets.
  Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund 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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I Shares to 0.62% and Series II Shares to 0.87% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under limitation.
  Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Acquired Fund’s expenses as a percentage of average daily net assets in excess of 0.75% and 1.00% for Class I and Class II Shares, respectively. Van Kampen did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this agreement.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under this agreement.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund


 

  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $32,160 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $329,506 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) Employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $93,992 to Van Kampen Investments Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $9,145 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer agent fees.”
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
  “Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of approximately $0 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Acquired Fund, totaling $10,658.

(a) There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 83% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. IDI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. In addition, 0.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are owned by affiliated mutual funds. Affiliated mutual funds are mutual funds that are advised by Invesco.
 
NOTE 4—Investment Transactions
 
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments and money market funds, were $208,890,905 and $229,502,473, respectively.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund


 

NOTE 5—Distribution and Service Plans
 
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II Shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II Shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II Shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II Shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $1,609,660 to Van Kampen Funds Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Funds’ average daily net assets of Class II Shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed on the Statement of Operations as “Distribution (12b-1) and Service Fees.”
 
NOTE 6—Indemnifications
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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 8—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Expense Example
 
As a policyholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and 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 the 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 1/1/10— 6/30/10.
 
Actual Expense
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 cost 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, or exchanges.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund


 

Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

6   Lipper Inc.
The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index is an unmanaged index that covers U.S. corporate, fixed-rate, non-investment grade debt with at least one year to maturity and at least $150 million in par outstanding. Index weights for each issuer are capped at 2%.
     The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.
     A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Series I shares of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund. Returns shown above for Series I shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
     Series II shares incepted on June 1, 2010. Series II shares performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class I shares restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to the predecessor fund’s Series II shares. Class I shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The inception date of the predecessor fund’s Class I shares is January 2, 1997.
     The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
     The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.81% and 1.06%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.98% and 1.23%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
     Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
     The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Funds High Yield Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund Class I shares received Series I shares of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund — Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I shares of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high yield securities.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
    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
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund


 

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.
    Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund


 

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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Lower-Rated Securities — The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $500 million
    0 .42%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .345%
 
Next $250 million
    0 .295%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .27%
 
Next $1 billion
    0 .245%
 
Over $3 billion
    0 .22%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.80% and Series II shares to 1.05% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I shares to 0.80% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, MS Investment Management and the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,930 and $4,802 respectively.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’

accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $6,481 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $38,274 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $211 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ 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 5—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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 6—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2010

NOTE 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 Series II shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The actual ending account and expenses of the Series II shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business June 1, 2010 (commencement date) and held through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 June 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 for the Series II shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Series II 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 for the Series II shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Series II shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 30 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010)/365. Because the Series II 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 181/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Series II shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund


 

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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolio, 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds International Growth Equity Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund Class II shares received Series II shares of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund — Class II shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series II shares of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of income.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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”).
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $1 billion
    0 .75%
 
Over $1 billion
    0 .70%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.11% and Series II shares to 1.36% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the

following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
  Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class II shares to 1.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, MS Investment Management waived advisory fees of $1,044.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $5,835 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $54,486 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $282,480 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $1,597 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund.
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $279,036 to Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (“MSDI”) based on the annual rate of 0.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. MSDI had voluntarily agreed to waive 0.10% distribution fee that it received from the Acquired Fund.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund


 

  The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ 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 5—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 6—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward *
 
December 31, 2016
  $ 8,264,000  
 
December 31, 2017
    40,192,000  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 48,456,000  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 7—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $229,780,463 and $433,857,735, 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 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 Series I shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Series I shares in the below example are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business June 1, 2010 (the date the share class commenced operations) and held through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Series I shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Series I 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 for the Series I shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Series I shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 30 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010)/365. Because the Series I 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.
    Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Series I and Series II shares to 1.11% and 1.36% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.11% and 1.36% for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $0.92 and $6.39 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
4  Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Series I shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period.
    The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.56 and $6.80 for the Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco

Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund


 

Notes to Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
 
 
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), is organized as a series of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one 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. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each portfolio or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Mid Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class II Shares received Series II Shares of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s – Class II Shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series II Shares of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital growth.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II Shares, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Security Valuation — 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund


 

  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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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. Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
    Level 1 — Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
    Level 2 — Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.
    Level 3 — Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances.
  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
C. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis.
  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 on 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share on the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported on 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 on the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
D. Income and Expenses — Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax provisions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
  The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $3,985,966 which will expire according to the following schedule:
 
               
 Amount   Expiration
 
$ 351,609         December 31, 2010  
 
  2,251,696         December 31, 2016  
 
  1,382,661         December 31, 2017  
 
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund


 

  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
  $ 4,084,856  
 
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities
    (4,136,557 )
 
Net unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities
  $ (51,701 )
 
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $59,115,954.        
 
F. Distribution of Income and Gains — The Fund declares and pays dividends at least annually from net investment income and from net realized gains, if any. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions from the Fund are recorded on the ex-distribution date. As of December 31, 2009, there were no components of distributable earnings on a tax basis.
  Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of the deferral of losses relating to wash sale transactions.
G. Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U. S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at rates prevailing when accrued. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities resulting from changes in exchange rates are not segregated for financial reporting purposes from amounts arising from changes in the market prices of securities. The unrealized gains and losses on translations of other assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign currency translation on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations include the net realized amount from the sale of foreign currency and the amount realized between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions.
H. Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 affiliates 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.
 
NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Daily Net Assets   % Per Annum
 
First $500 million
    0 .75%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .70%
 
Over $1 billion
    0 .65%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund 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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I Shares to 1.01% and Series II Shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless

the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. During the period, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $9,482 under this limitation.
  Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class II Shares resulting in a net expense ratio of 1.26%. Van Kampen waived advisory fees of $26,591 under this agreement.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 period ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under this agreement.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,110 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $12,789 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments, Inc. provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $8,802 to Van Kampen Investments Inc.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $7,134 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer agent fees”.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
  “Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of approximately $-0- for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.

NOTE 4—Investment Transactions
 
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, and money market funds were $49,326,774 and $29,882,241, respectively.
 
NOTE 5—Distribution and Service Plans
 
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II Shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II Shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II Shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II Shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $55,227 to Van Kampen Funds Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II Shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as “Distribution (12b-1) and service fees”.
 
NOTE 6—Indemnifications
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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 8—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Expense Example
 
As a policyholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and 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 the 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 1/1/10— 6/30/10.
 
Actual Expense
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 cost 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or exchanges fees.

These expense ratios reflect an expense cap.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through
lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund


 

services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds Mid Cap Value Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund Class I and Class II shares received Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund — Class I and Class II shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is to provide above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years by investing in common stocks and other equity securities.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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.
    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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund


 

are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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.
    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.
    Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
    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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
    Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes.
    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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund


 

D. Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.

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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $1 billion
    0 .72%
 
Over $1 billion
    0 .65%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012 to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.18% and Series II shares to 1.28% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver [and/or expense reimbursement] to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items 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 Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimbursed expenses during the period under this limitation.
  Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I and Class II shares to 1.05% and 1.15%, respectively of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, MS Investment Management waived advisory fees of $5,431.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $6,185 for accounting and fund administrative services and
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund


 

reimbursed $58,292 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $302,432 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $1,425 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. IDI has contractually agreed to waive 0.15% of Rule 12b-1 plan fees on Class II shares through at least June 30, 2012.
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to Morgan Stanley Distribution Inc. (MSDI) based on the annual rate of 0.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. MSDI had voluntarily agreed to waive 0.25% distribution fee that it received. MSDI was paid distribution fees of $53,411, after fee waivers of $80,066.
  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown as Distribution fees in the Statement of Operations.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $404,584, which resulted in net realized gains of $72,390.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund


 

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 6—Cash Balances
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2016
  $ 35,250,000  
 
December 31, 2017
    34,551,000  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 69,801,000  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $58,849,272 and $65,778,956, 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 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund


 

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund


 

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. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance 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 forty-one 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 Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
  Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds Value Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc.. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
  Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Series I shares of the Fund.
  Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I shares of the Fund throughout this report.
  The Fund’s investment objective is above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years by investing primarily in a portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities.
  The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
  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”).
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value 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. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. 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 trades 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 economical 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 Trust’s 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 security’s fair value.
  Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s 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 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s 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 issuer’s 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 paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date.
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 Fund’s 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value 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 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s 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.
 
NOTE 2—Advisory 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 Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
         
Average Net Assets   Rate
 
First $500 million
    0 .55%
 
Next $500 million
    0 .50%
 
Over $1 billion
    0 .45%
 
 
  Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  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 Trimark 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).
  Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.86% and Series II shares to 1.11% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limitation, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
  Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I shares to 0.85% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
  Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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.
  Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
  For the period ended June 30, 2010, MS Investment Management and the Adviser waived advisory fees of $10,876 and $25,281, respectively.
  The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, Invesco was paid $4,710 for accounting and fund administrative services and
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund


 

reimbursed $4,557 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $23,853 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
  Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
  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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $111 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
  The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
 
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 investment’s 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 Fund’s 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 June 30, 2010. 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.
 
                                 
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
 
Equity Securities
  $ 20,732,258     $ 148,637     $     $ 20,880,895  
 
 
NOTE 4—Security 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $302.
 
NOTE 5—Trustees’ 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.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund


 

NOTE 6—Cash Balances
 
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 7—Tax Information
 
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
  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 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
 
         
    Capital Loss
Expiration   Carryforward*
 
December 31, 2016
  $ 2,422,185  
 
December 31, 2017
    4,505,087  
 
Total capital loss carryforward
  $ 6,927,272  
 
Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
NOTE 8—Investment 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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,844,743 and $2,823,225, 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.

Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable and do not reflect charges assessed in connection with a variable product, which if included would reduce total returns.
(c) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable.
(d) Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000’s omitted) of $23,550 and $10 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively.
(e) Performance was positively impacted by approximately 1.40% due to the receipt of proceeds from the settlements of class action suits involving primarily two of the Fund’s past holdings. This was a one-time settlement, and as a result, the impact on the NAV and consequently the performance will not likely be repeated in the future. Had these settlements not occurred, the total return would have been approximately 29.60%.
(f) The Ratios of Expenses and Net Investment Income reflect the rebate of certain Fund expenses in connection with the investments in Morgan Stanley affiliates during the period. The effect of the rebate on the ratios is less than 0.005% for each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(h) Ratio of net investment income to average net assets without fee waivers and/or expenses absorbed was 1.54%, 1.98%, 1.63%, 1.75% and 1.65% for the years ended December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2005 respectively.
 
NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
 
 
Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 Series II shares, the example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The actual ending account value and expenses of the Series II shares in the below example are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business June 1, 2010 (the date the share class commenced operations) and held through June 30, 2010.
  The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
 
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 June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Series II shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Series II 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1  The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010 for the Series II shares), after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses.
2  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. For the Series II shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 30 (as of close of business June 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010)/365. Because the Series II 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.
      Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses of Series I and Series II shares to 0.85% and 1.11%, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year is 0.86% for Series I shares. Restated annualized expense ratio for Series II shares remained the same.
3  The actual expenses paid restated as if the change discussed above had been in effect through the entire most recent fiscal half year is $4.14 for Series I shares. Restated actual expense ratio for Series II shares remained the same.
4  The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the change discussed above had been in effect through the entire most recent fiscal half year is $4.31 for Series I shares. Restated hypothetical expense ratio for Series II shares remained the same.
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund


 

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements With Invesco Advisers, Inc. and Its Affiliates
 
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) with 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreements is fair and reasonable.
 
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
  In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
 
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A.  Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
  The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
 
B.  Fund Performance
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
 
C.  Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
  The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
  After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were fair and reasonable.
 
D.  Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule provides for
breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
 
E.  Profitability and Financial Resources
The Board considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
 
F.  Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their 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 by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be
 
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund


 

provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
  The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
  The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s 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 will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.
