Material Conflicts of Interest Policy

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account.  More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple funds and/or other accounts may be presented with the following potential conflicts:

·  
The management of multiple funds and/or other accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each fund and/or other account.  Invesco seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline.  Most other accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same investment models that are use in connection with the management of the Portfolio.
·  
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, a fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible funds and other accounts.  To deal with these situations, Invesco has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.
·  
With respect to securities transactions for the Portfolio, Invesco determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction.  However, with respect to certain other accounts (such as mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), Invesco may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades though a particular broker.  In these cases, trades for the Portfolio in a particular security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other accounts.  Having separate transactions with respect to a security may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the possible detriment of the Portfolio or other accounts involved.
·  
Finally, the appearance of a conflict may arise where Invesco has an incentive, such as performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one fund or account but not all funds and accounts with respect to which the portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.

Invesco has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts.  However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Compensation

Invesco seeks to maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals.  Portfolio managers receive a base salary, an incentive bonus opportunity and an equity compensation opportunity.  Portfolio manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect changes in the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive fund performance.  Invesco evaluates competitive market compensation by reviewing compensation survey results conducted by an independent third party of investment industry compensation.  Each portfolio manager’s compensation consists of the following three elements:

(i)  Base salary.  Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary.  In setting the base salary, Invesco’s intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio manager’s experience and responsibilities.

(ii)  Annual bonus.  The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees of Invesco, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd. reviews and approves the amount of the bonus pool available for each of its investment centers, including Invesco. The Compensation Committee considers investment performance and financial results in its review. In addition, while having no direct impact on individual bonuses, the Compensation Committee considers assets under management when determining the initial year-end bonus pool. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is based on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may include, but are not limited to, individual performance, risk management and teamwork).

Each portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the funds/accounts he or she manages as measured against the performance of applicable peer groups over the one-, three- and five-year periods.  High investment performance (against applicable peer group) would deliver compensation generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the third-party provided compensation survey information) and poor investment performance (versus applicable peer group) would result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus at all. These decisions are reviewed and approved collectively by senior leadership which has responsibility for executing the compensation approach across the organization.

(iii)  Equity-based compensation.  Portfolio managers may be awarded options to purchase common shares and/or granted restricted shares or deferred shares of Invesco Ltd. stock from pools determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Invesco Ltd. Board of Directors.  Awards of equity-based compensation typically vest over time, so as to create incentives to retain key talent.

Portfolio managers also participate in benefit plans and program available generally to all employees.

Ownership of Securities

The portfolio managers do not own any shares of the Portfolios.”
