| Investment Objective(s) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fees and Expenses of the Fund | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Invesco Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the section “Shareholder Account Information – Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” on page A-3 of the prospectus and the section “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares-Purchase and Redemption of Shares” on page L-1 of the statement of additional information (SAI). Investors may pay commissions and/or other forms of compensation to an intermediary, such as a broker, for transactions in Class Y shares, which are not reflected in the table or the Example below. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 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 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: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 44% 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 U.S. issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. 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) it (alone or through its consolidated subsidiaries) derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from 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. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its net assets in equity securities of small- to mid-capitalization companies. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund also may invest in larger companies. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and depositary receipts. The Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and options. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to seek exposure to certain asset classes. The Fund can use options to seek alpha (return on investments in excess of the Russell Midcap® Value Index) or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), the Fund’s investment adviser, seeks attractively valued companies experiencing a change that could have a positive impact on a company’s outlook. In selecting securities, the Adviser focuses on companies that it believes possess characteristics for improved valuation. The Adviser looks for catalysts for change that may positively impact a company, such as improved operational efficiency, new management, an industry development or regulatory change. The aim is to uncover these catalysts for change, and then benefit from potential stock price appreciation as a result of the change taking place at the company. The Adviser will consider selling a security if it reaches the Adviser’s estimate of fair value or if a more attractive investment opportunity is identified. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 risks of investing in the Fund are: Depositary Receipts Risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. Derivatives Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. 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 the Fund’s holdings. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid. Sector Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Value Investing Style Risk. A value investing style subjects the Fund to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 and Van Kampen American Value Fund (the predecessor fund) from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's and the predecessor fund’s performance to that of a style specific benchmark, a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund and a broad-based securities market benchmark (in that order). For more information on the benchmarks used see the “Benchmark Descriptions” section in the prospectus. 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 shown prior to June 1, 2010 are those of the Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R shares of the predecessor fund. The predecessor fund was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management. Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R shares, respectively, of the Fund on June 1, 2010. Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class R shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Performance for Class A 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
