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:

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. The portfolio turnover rate of the Van Kampen Harbor Fund (the predecessor fund) and the Fund for the most recent fiscal year was 91% of the average value of the portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing principally in a portfolio of debt securities, primarily convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 50% of its total assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and government securities) in convertible debt securities. The Fund may invest without limitations as to credit ratings, and such investments may include high- medium- and lower-rated and unrated securities. Through careful selection of individual securities, diversification of investments and by continuing supervision of the investment portfolio, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser) seeks to provide income and capital appreciation while striving to reduce risk and conserve shareholder capital. The Adviser emphasizes income-producing securities of companies whose common stocks are believed to have good prospects for capital appreciation and seek to identify companies with improving fundamentals, strong earnings growth, increasing market share and attractive valuations that are likely to provide investors with equity participation through the issuance of convertible securities. The Fund generally sells securities when the Adviser determines that such securities no longer meet its investment criteria. The Fund may invest up to 45% of its total assets in common stocks and up to 25% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may purchase and sell options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts, which are derivatives, for various portfolio management purposes, including to earn income, to facilitate portfolio management and to mitigate risks. In general terms, a derivative instrument is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index.
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: Market Risk. Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in common stocks and other equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of such securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security. Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to an issuer's ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Because the Fund may invest in securities with low credit quality, it is subject to a higher level of credit risk than a fund that invests only in investment grade securities. The credit quality of noninvestment grade securities is considered speculative by recognized rating agencies with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to pay interest and principal. Lower-grade securities (also sometimes known as junk bonds) may have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than investments in higher-grade securities. The Fund may incur higher expenses to protect the Fund's interest in such securities. The credit risks and market prices of lower-grade securities generally are more sensitive to negative corporate developments, such as a decline in profits, or adverse economic conditions, such as a recession, than are higher-grade securities. Call Risk. If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of callable securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund's income and distributions to shareholders and termination of any conversion option on convertible securities. Income Risk. The interest income on debt securities, including convertible bonds, generally is affected by prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short- and long-term. The ability of equity securities to generate income generally depends on the earnings and continuing declaration of dividends by the issuers of such securities. If interest rates drop or dividends are reduced or discontinued, distributions to shareholders from the Fund may drop as well. Foreign Risks. Because the Fund may own securities of foreign issuers, it may be subject to risks that 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. The Fund may also invest in issuers in developing or emerging market countries, which are subject to greater risks than investments in securities of issuers in developed countries. Risks of Derivatives. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, risks of default by the other party to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.
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/style specific market benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to the Fund. The Fund's (and the predecessor fund's) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. The returns for periods 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. Year-to-date returns include returns of the Fund for periods ending on or after June 1, 2010. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's Web site at www.invesco.com/us.
