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. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The Fund is a “fund of funds,” and invests its assets in other underlying mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco and/or the Adviser). The Fund invests its assets in a selection of underlying funds which invest primarily in international or domestic equities, fixed-income securities or real estate investment trusts. The Fund’s target allocation is to invest 65% of its total assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities and 35% of its total assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities.

The underlying funds may also invest in investments with economic characteristics similar to an underlying fund’s direct investments, including derivatives, exchange-traded funds (ETF) and American Depositary Receipts. These derivatives and other investments may have the effect of leveraging an underlying fund’s portfolio.

In attempting to meet its investment objective, an underlying fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.

The Adviser uses a three-step process to create the Fund’s portfolio including: (1) a strategic asset allocation by the Adviser among broad asset classes; (2) the actual selection by the Adviser of underlying funds to represent the broad asset classes and the determination by the Adviser of target weightings in these underlying funds; in the case where there are multiple funds in a broad asset class, the manager balances the amount of active risk contributed by each underlying fund in order to determine the allocation; and (3) the ongoing monitoring of a Fund’s asset class allocations, underlying funds and target weightings.

The Adviser rebalances the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds on an annual basis to keep them within their target weightings and has the ability to rebalance on a more frequent basis if it believes it is appropriate to do so. The Adviser may change the Fund’s asset class allocations, the underlying funds or the target weightings in the underlying funds without shareholder approval.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risk of investing in the Fund is that the Fund’s performance depends on the underlying funds in which it invests, and it is subject to the risks of the underlying funds. Market fluctuations may change the target weightings in the underlying funds. The underlying funds may change their investment objectives, policies or practices and may not achieve their investment objectives, all of which may cause the Fund to withdraw its investments therein at a disadvantageous time. The principal risks of investing in the underlying funds are:

Active Trading Risk. Certain underlying funds engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added expenses and may result in a lower return and increased tax liability.

Credit Risk. The issuer of instruments in which an underlying fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. An underlying fund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with an underlying fund.

Developing Markets Securities Risk. Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries.

Dollar Roll Transactions Risk. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the underlying fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the underlying fund that it is obligated to repurchase.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment by the Fund or underlying fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, an ETF may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; (4) failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and (5) holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund or underlying fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which the Fund or underlying fund may invest are leveraged. The more the Fund or underlying fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.

Foreign Securities Risk. An underlying fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.

Fund of Funds Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the underlying funds in which it invests, and it is subject to the risks of the underlying funds. Market fluctuations may change the target weightings in the underlying funds. The underlying funds may change their investment objectives, policies or practices and may not achieve their investment objectives, all of which may cause the Fund to withdraw its investments therein at a disadvantageous time.

High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.

Industry Focus Risk. To the extent an underlying fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries, the underlying fund’s performance will depend on the overall condition of those industries, which may be affected by the following factors: the supply of short-term financing; changes in government regulation and interest rates; and overall economy.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.

Leverage Risk. Leverage exists when an underlying fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction and the underlying fund could lose more than it invested. Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair an underlying fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.

Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may hold illiquid securities that it is unable to sell at the preferred time or price and could lose its entire investment in such securities.

Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s and the underlying funds’ portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the underlying funds’ securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, an underlying fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing an underlying fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.

Non-Diversification Risk. Certain of the underlying funds are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in a single issuer. A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of an underlying fund more than if it was a diversified fund.

Prepayment Risk. An issuer’s ability to prepay principal on a loan or debt security prior to maturity can limit an underlying fund’s potential gains. Prepayments may require the underlying fund to replace the loan or debt security with a lower yielding security, adversely affecting an underlying fund’s yield.

Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.

REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to an underlying fund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid cap companies, and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults, an underlying fund may own real estate directly, which involves the following additional risks: environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.

Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price or that the other party may default on its obligation, resulting in delays, additional costs or the restriction of proceeds from the sale.

Sector Fund Risk. Certain of the underlying fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the underlying fund more volatile.

Short Sales Risk. Short sales may cause an underlying fund to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, an underlying fund’s exposure is unlimited.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect an underlying fund’s ability to recover should they default.

Utilities Sector Risk. The following factors may affect an underlying fund’s investments in the utilities sector: governmental regulation, economic factors, ability of the issuer to obtain financing, prices of natural resources and risks associated with nuclear power.
