  Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) has contractually agreed through June 30, 2013, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class B (after 12b-1 fee limit), Class C, Class R and Class Y shares to 1.05%, 1.22%, 1.80%, 1.30% and 0.80%, respectively, of average daily net assets. The expense limit will terminate on June 30, 2013.
 
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years    
 
Class A
  $ 664     $ 904     $ 1,163     $ 1,903      
Class B
  $ 620     $ 675     $ 849     $ 1,432      
Class C
  $ 296     $ 606     $ 1,042     $ 2,254      
Class R
  $ 146     $ 452     $ 782     $ 1,713      
Class Y
  $ 95     $ 296     $ 515     $ 1,143      
 
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
 
                                     
    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years    
 
Class A
  $ 664     $ 904     $ 1,163     $ 1,903      
Class B
  $ 120     $ 375     $ 649     $ 1,432      
Class C
  $ 196     $ 606     $ 1,042     $ 2,254      
Class R
  $ 146     $ 452     $ 782     $ 1,713      
Class Y
  $ 95     $ 296     $ 515     $ 1,143      
 
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 96% of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers at the time of investment. The Fund deems an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if (i) its principal securities trading market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) alone or on a consolidated basis it derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services performed in the U.S.; or (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in the U.S.
 
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities, including common stocks and depositary receipts.
 
The Fund focuses on large capitalization companies, but also invests in mid-capitalization companies.
 
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers.

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser), the Fund’s investment adviser uses a bottom-up stock selection process designed to seek returns in excess of the benchmark as well as a disciplined portfolio construction process designed to manage risk. To narrow the investment universe, the Adviser uses a holistic approach that emphasizes fundamental research and, to a lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. The Adviser then closely examines company fundamentals, including detailed modeling of all of a company’s financial statements and discussions with company management teams, suppliers, distributors, competitors and customers. The Adviser uses a variety of valuation techniques based on the company in question, the industry in which the company operates, the stage of the business cycle, and other factors that best reflect a company’s value. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies with strong or improving fundamentals at attractive valuation relative to their growth prospects.
 
The Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when a company hits the price target, a company’s fundamentals deteriorate, or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected in the stock price.
 
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
 
Foreign Risks. The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
 
Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
 
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
 
Medium-Sized Companies Risk. The securities of medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than securities of larger-sized companies or the market averages in general. In addition, such companies typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger companies. Thus, to the extent the Fund invests in medium-sized companies, the Fund may be subject to greater investment risk than that assumed through investment in the equity securities of larger-sized companies.
 
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Fund’s and the Van Kampen American Franchise Fund’s (the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
 
The returns shown for the period prior to June 1, 2010 are those of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. The predecessor fund was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund on June 1, 2010. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Performance for Class A and Class B shares has been restated to reflect the Fund’s applicable sales charge.
 
Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s Web site at www.invesco.com/us.
 
Annual Total Returns
The bar chart does not reflect sales loads. If it did, the annual total returns shown would be lower.
 
Class A shares year-to-date (ended September 30, 2012): 14.61%
Best Quarter (ended September 30, 2009): 19.82%

  Class R shares performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) Class A shares restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Class R shares. Class A shares performance reflects any applicable fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement.
 
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
