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. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. 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 55% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of small-capitalization issuers and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock.
The Fund considers an issuer to be a small-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization no larger than the market capitalization of the largest capitalized issuer included in the Russell 2000® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs).
The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities of companies located in developing and emerging markets, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles, as well as in developed markets.
The Fund invests primarily in securities that are considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers to have the potential for earnings or revenue growth. In selecting investments, the portfolio managers utilize a disciplined portfolio construction process that calibrates the Fund’s sector-related exposure relative to the Russell 2000® Growth Index, which the portfolio managers believe generally represents the small-cap growth asset class. The Fund uses this index as a guide in structuring and reviewing the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund that seeks to replicate the
performance of the index. The security selection process is based on a three-step process that includes fundamental, valuation and timeliness analysis.
■ 
Fundamental analysis involves building a series of financial models, as well as conducting in-depth interviews with management. The goal is to find high quality, fundamentally sound issuers operating in an attractive industry.
■ 
 Valuation analysis focuses on identifying attractively valued securities given their growth potential over a one- to two-year horizon.
■ 
Timeliness analysis is used to help identify the “timeliness” of a purchase. In this step, relative price strength, trading volume characteristics, and trend analysis are reviewed for signs of deterioration. If a security shows signs of deterioration, it will not be considered as a candidate for the portfolio.
The portfolio managers consider selling a security if the investment thesis for owning the security is no longer valid, the stock reaches its price target or timeliness factors indicate that the risk/return characteristics of the stock as viewed in the market are no longer attractive.
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 style-specific benchmark and a broad-based securities market benchmark (in that order). The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements. Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
All Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.
Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at www.invesco.com/us.
The bar chart does not reflect sales loads. If it did, the annual total returns shown would be lower.

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-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans, 529 college savings plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and after-tax returns for other classes will vary.
