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 period September 26, 2012 to October 31, 2012, the Fund did not experience portfolio turnover.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund's investment strategy is designed to provide capital loss protection during down markets. Under normal market conditions, the Fund's portfolio management team allocates across three asset classes: equities, fixed income and commodities, such that no one asset class drives the Fund's performance. The Fund's exposure to these three assets classes will be achieved primarily through investments in derivative instruments.

The portfolio managers manage the Fund's portfolio using two different processes. One is strategic asset allocation, which the portfolio managers use to express their long term views of the market. The portfolio managers apply their strategic process to, on average, approximately 20% of the Fund's portfolio, and this portion of the Fund holds only long positions in derivatives. The other process is tactical asset allocation, which is used by the portfolio managers to reflect their shorter term views of the market. The tactical asset allocation process will result in the Fund having long and short positions within or among one or more of the three asset classes (equities, fixed income and commodities). The tactical asset allocation process likely will account for the majority of the Fund's volatility and performance. The strategic and tactical processes are intended to diversify portfolio risk in a variety of market conditions.

The portfolio managers will implement their investment decisions through the use of derivatives and other investments that create economic leverage. The Fund uses derivatives and other leveraged instruments to create and adjust exposure to the asset classes. The portfolio managers make these adjustments to balance risk exposure (as part of the strategic process) and to add long or short exposure to the asset classes (as part of the tactical process) when they believe it will benefit the Fund. Using derivatives allows the portfolio managers to implement their views more efficiently and to gain more exposure to the asset classes than investing in more traditional assets such as stocks and bonds would allow. The Fund holds long and short positions in derivatives. A long derivative position involves the Fund buying a derivative with the anticipation of a price increase of the underlying asset, and a short derivative position involves the Fund writing (selling) a derivative with the anticipation of a price decrease of the underlying asset. The Fund's use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by the use of derivatives are expected to be significant and greater than most mutual funds.

We expect the Fund's net asset value over a short to intermediate term to be volatile because of the significant use of derivatives and other instruments that provide economic leverage. Volatility measures the range of returns of a security, fund or index, as indicated by the annualized standard deviation of its returns. Higher volatility generally indicates higher risk and is often reflected by frequent and sometimes significant movements up and down in value. It is expected that the annualized volatility level for the Fund will be, on average, approximately 9%. The Fund's actual volatility level for longer or shorter periods may be materially higher or lower than the target level depending on market conditions, and therefore the Fund's risk exposure may be materially higher or lower than the level targeted by the portfolio managers. The Fund's investment strategy seeks to achieve a positive absolute return over a complete economic and market cycle, notwithstanding the expected short and intermediate term volatility in the net asset value of the Fund.

The Fund will have the potential for greater gains, as well as the potential for greater losses, than if the Fund did not use derivatives or other instruments that have an economic leveraging effect. Economic leveraging tends to magnify, sometimes significantly depending on the amount of leverage used, the effect of any increase or decrease in the Fund's exposure to an asset class and may cause the Fund's net asset value to be more volatile than a fund that does not use leverage. For example, if the Adviser gains exposure to a specific asset class through an instrument that provides leveraged exposure to the class, and that leveraged instrument increases in value, the gain to the Fund will be magnified; however, if the leveraged instrument decreases in value, the loss to the Fund will be magnified.

The Adviser's investment process has three steps. The first step involves asset selection within the three asset classes (equities, fixed income and commodities). The portfolio managers select investments to represent each of the three asset classes from a universe of over fifty investments. The selection process (1) evaluates a particular investment's theoretical case for long-term excess returns relative to cash; (2) screens the identified investments against minimum liquidity criteria; and (3) reviews the expected correlation among the investments, meaning the likelihood that the value of the investments will move in the same direction at the same time, and the expected risk of each investment to determine whether the selected investments are likely to improve the expected risk adjusted return of the Fund.

Using a systematic approach based on fundamental principles, the portfolio management team analyzes the asset classes and investments, considering the following factors: valuation, economic environment and historic price movements. Regarding valuation, the portfolio managers evaluate whether asset classes and investments are attractively priced relative to fundamentals. Next, the portfolio managers assess the economic environment and consider the effect that monetary policy and other determinants of economic growth, inflation and market volatility will have on the asset classes and investments. Lastly, the portfolio managers assess the impact of historic price movements for the asset classes and investments on likely future returns.

The second step in the investment process involves portfolio construction. The portfolio managers use their own estimates for risk and correlation to weight each asset class and the investments within each asset class to construct a risk-balanced portfolio. Periodically, the management team re-estimates the risk contributed by each asset class and investment and re-balances the portfolio; the portfolio also may be rebalanced when the Fund makes new investments.

Utilizing the results from the analysis described above, the portfolio managers determine tactical short-term over-weight (buying additional assets relative to the strategic allocation) and under-weight (selling assets relative to the strategic allocation) positions for the asset classes and investments. The portfolio managers then attempt to control the frequency, depth and duration of portfolio losses and manage the risk contribution from the various asset classes and investments with the proprietary risk-balancing process.

In the third step of the investment process, the portfolio managers calculate the estimated risk of the portfolio and scale the positions accordingly in order to construct a portfolio with a targeted risk profile. When the tactical position is negative for an investment and its size is larger than the strategic position for that investment, the result is a short derivative position. The size and number of short derivative positions held by the Fund will vary with the market environment. In some cases there will be no short derivative positions in the Fund. In other cases the net short derivative exposure of the Fund (the amount by which short positions exceed long positions) could be 50% of net asset value or higher. The Fund's long positions in derivative instruments generally will benefit from an increase in the price of the underlying investment. The Fund's short positions in derivative instruments generally will benefit from a decrease in the price of the underlying investment.

The Fund's equity exposure will be achieved through investments in derivatives that track equity indices from developed and/or emerging markets countries. The Fund's fixed income exposure will be achieved through derivative investments that offer exposure to issuers in developed markets that are rated investment grade or unrated but deemed to be investment grade quality by the Adviser, including U.S. and foreign government debt securities having intermediate (5 – 10 years) and long (10 plus years) term duration. The Fund's commodity exposure will be achieved through investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), commodity futures and swaps, exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and commodity-linked notes, some or all of which will be owned through Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund V Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (Subsidiary). The commodity investments will be focused in four sectors of the commodities market: energy, precious metals, industrial metals and agriculture/livestock.

The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, in derivatives that provide exposure to issuers located in at least three different countries, including the U.S. The Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 40% of its net assets in derivatives that provide exposure to issuers outside the United States.

The Fund will invest in the Subsidiary to gain exposure to commodities markets. The Subsidiary, in turn, will invest in futures, swaps, commodity-linked notes, ETFs and ETNs. The Subsidiary is advised by the Adviser, has the same investment objective as the Fund and generally employs the same investment strategy. Unlike the Fund, however, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Subsidiary holds cash and can invest in cash equivalent instruments, including affiliated money market funds, some or all of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary's derivative positions. Because the Subsidiary is wholly-owned by the Fund, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with any investment by the Subsidiary.

The Fund generally will maintain 50% to 100% of its total assets (including assets held by the Subsidiary) in cash and cash equivalent instruments, including affiliated money market funds, as margin or collateral for the Fund's obligations under derivative transactions. The larger the value of the Fund's derivative positions, as opposed to positions held in non-derivative instruments, the more the Fund will be required to maintain cash and cash equivalents as margin or collateral for such derivatives.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.

The derivatives in which the Fund will invest will include but are not limited to futures, swap agreements and commodity-linked notes.
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:

CFTC Regulation Risk. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has recently adopted amendments to certain CFTC rules, and is promulgating new rules, which will subject the Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiary to regulation by the CFTC. The Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiary will be required to operate subject to applicable CFTC requirements, including registration, disclosure and operational requirements. The Fund also will be subject to CFTC requirements related to processing derivatives transactions and tracking exposure levels to certain commodities. Compliance with these additional requirements will increase Fund expenses. Certain of the requirements that would apply to the Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiary have not yet been adopted, and it is unclear what the effect of those requirements would be on the Fund if they are adopted. The Adviser believes that it is possible that compliance with CFTC regulations, if they are adopted as proposed, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its objective.

Commodity-Linked Notes Risk. The Fund's investments in commodity-linked notes may involve substantial risks, including risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value. In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, they may be subject to additional special risks, such as risk of loss of interest and principal, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater volatility, that do not affect traditional equity and debt securities. If payment of interest on a commodity-linked note is linked to the value of a particular commodity, commodity index or other economic variable, the Fund might not receive all or a portion of the interest due on its investment if there is a loss of value of the underlying variable to which the interest is linked. To the extent that the amount of the principal to be repaid upon maturity is linked to the value of a particular commodity, commodity index or other economic variable, the Fund might not receive all or a portion of the principal at maturity of the investment. A liquid secondary market may not exist for the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys, which may make it difficult for the Fund to sell them at an acceptable price or to accurately value them. Commodity-linked notes are also subject to the credit risk of the issuer. If the issuer becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to pay, the Fund could lose money. The value of the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are themselves volatile. Additionally, commodity-linked notes employ "economic" leverage that does not result in the possibility of a fund incurring obligations beyond its investment, but that nonetheless permit a fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered security. The particular terms of a commodity-linked note may create economic leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index, or other economic variable. For example, a three-times leveraged note will change by a magnitude of three for every percentage change (positive or negative) in the value of the underlying commodity, index or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the Fund to the extent it invests in such notes. The Fund does not segregate assets or otherwise cover investments in securities with economic leverage.

Commodity Risk. The Fund's significant investment exposure to the commodities markets, and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. The commodities markets may fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors, including changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates and investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds. Prices of various commodities may also be affected by factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments. The prices of commodities can also fluctuate widely due to supply and demand disruptions in major producing or consuming regions. Because the Fund's performance is linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund's shares.

Correlation Risk. Changes in the value of two investments or asset classes may not track or offset each other in the manner anticipated by the portfolio managers. Because the Fund's investment strategy seeks to balance risk across three asset classes and, within each asset class, to balance risk across different countries and commodities, to the extent either the three asset classes or the selected countries and commodities are correlated in a way not anticipated by the portfolio managers the Fund's risk allocation process may not succeed in achieving its investment objective.

Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligations, which may cause losses or additional costs to the Fund.

Credit Risk. The issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments. This risk is increased to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds. An issuer's securities may decrease in value if its financial strength weakens, which may reduce its credit rating and possibly its ability to meet its contractual obligations.

Currency/Exchange Rate Risk. The dollar value of the Fund's foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The Fund may buy or sell currencies other than the U.S. dollar in order to capitalize on anticipated changes in exchange rates. There is no guarantee that these investments will be successful.

Derivatives Risk. The performance of derivative instruments is tied to the performance of an underlying currency, security, index, commodity or other instrument. In addition to risks relating to their underlying instruments, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks. Risks associated with the use of derivatives may include counterparty, leverage, correlation, liquidity, tax, market, interest rate and management risks. Derivatives may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. The Fund may lose more than the cash amount invested on investments in derivatives.
  • Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a derivative transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations (including because of bankruptcy or insolvency) to make principal or interest payments to the Fund, when due, which may cause losses or additional costs to the Fund.
  • Leverage Risk. Leverage exists when the Fund purchases or sells a derivative 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 Fund could lose more than it invested. The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covering transactions that may give rise to such risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. The use of some derivative instruments may result in economic leverage, which does not result in the possibility of the Fund incurring obligations beyond its investment, but that nonetheless permits the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument. The Fund does not segregate assets or otherwise cover investments in derivatives with economic leverage.
  • Correlation Risk. To the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or reducing exposure, there is the risk of imperfect correlation between movements in the value of the derivative instrument and the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. To the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging purposes, there is the risk during extreme market conditions that an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all.
  • Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to close out a derivative position because the trading market becomes illiquid or the availability of counterparties becomes limited for a period of time. To the extent that the Fund is unable to close out a derivative position because of market illiquidity, the Fund may not be able to prevent further losses of value in its derivatives holdings and the liquidity of the Fund's other assets may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of its otherwise liquid assets marked as segregated to cover its obligations under such derivative instruments. The Fund may also be required to take or make delivery of an underlying instrument that the Adviser would otherwise have attempted to avoid.
  • Tax Risk. The use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. The Fund's use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company. The tax treatment of derivatives may be affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legal authority that could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions to shareholders.
  • Market Risk. Derivatives are subject to the market risks associated with their underlying instruments, which 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. Derivatives may be subject to heightened and evolving government regulations, which could increase the costs of owning certain derivatives.
  • Interest Rate Risk. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to interest rate risk, which is the risk that prices of fixed income instruments generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, prices of fixed income instruments generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific fixed income instruments differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics.
  • Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund's portfolio managers in connection with investing in derivatives may not produce the desired results.
Investors should bear in mind that, while the Fund intends to use derivative strategies, it is not obligated to actively engage in these transactions, generally or in any particular kind of derivative, if the Adviser elects not to do so due to availability, cost, market conditions or other factors.

Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk. The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing/emerging markets countries may be impacted by certain factors more than those in countries with mature economies. For example, developing/emerging markets countries may experience higher rates of inflation or sharply devalue their currencies against the U.S. dollar, thereby causing the value of investments issued by the government or companies located in those countries to decline. Governments in developing/emerging markets may be relatively less stable. The introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, or war may result in adverse volatility in the prices of securities or currencies. Other factors may include additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment by the Fund in exchange-traded funds generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, an exchange-traded fund may be subject to the following risks that do not apply to Invesco mutual funds: (1) the market price of an exchange-traded fund's shares may trade above or below their net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund's shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund's shares may be halted if the listing exchange's officials deem such action appropriate; (4) an exchange-traded fund may not be actively managed and may not accurately track the performance of the reference asset; (5) an exchange-traded fund would not necessarily sell a security because the issuer of the security was in financial trouble unless the security is removed from the index that the exchange-traded fund seeks to track; and (6) the value of an investment in an exchange-traded fund will decline more or less in correlation with any decline in the value of the index the exchange-traded fund seeks to track. Exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain of the exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged. The more the Fund invests in such leveraged exchange-traded funds, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.

Exchange-Traded Notes Risk. Exchange-traded notes are subject to credit risk, including the credit risk of the issuer, and the value of the exchange-traded note may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer's credit rating, despite the underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an exchange-traded note may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the exchange-traded note, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer's credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying market or strategy. Exchange-traded notes are also subject to counterparty risk.

Foreign Securities Risk. The dollar value of the Fund's foreign investments may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in their home countries, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls. As a result, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.

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. One measure of this sensitivity is called duration. The longer the duration of a particular bond, the greater its price sensitivity is to interest rates. Similarly, a longer duration portfolio of securities has greater price sensitivity. Falling interest rates may also prompt some issuers to refinance existing debt, which could affect the Fund's performance.

Leverage Risk. Leverage exists when the 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 Fund could lose more than it invested. Economic leveraging tends to magnify, sometimes significantly depending on the amount of leverage used, the effect of any increase or decrease in the Fund's exposure to an asset class and may cause the Fund's net asset value to be more volatile than a fund that does not use leverage. For example, if the Adviser gains exposure to a specific asset class through an instrument that provides leveraged exposure to the class, and that leveraged instrument increases in value, the gain to the Fund will be magnified; however, if the leveraged instrument decreases in value, the loss to the Fund will be magnified. Such instruments may include, among others, written options and derivatives, and transactions may include the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. The Fund mitigates leverage risk by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to such risk. To the extent that the Fund is not able to close out a leveraged position because of market illiquidity, the Fund's liquidity may be impaired to the extent that it has a substantial portion of liquid assets segregated or earmarked to cover obligations and may liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. Leveraging may cause the Fund to be more volatile because it may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund's leverage strategy will be successful. The Fund's significant use of derivatives and leverage could, under certain market conditions, cause the Fund's losses to be more significant than other mutual funds and, in extreme market conditions, could cause a complete loss of your investment.

Liquidity Risk. A security is considered to be illiquid if the Fund is unable to sell such security at a fair price within a reasonable amount of time. A security may be deemed illiquid due to a lack of trading volume in the security or if the security is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise restricted from trading. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at the time or price it desires and could lose its entire investment in such securities. Further, certain restricted securities require special registration, liabilities and costs, and could pose valuation difficulties. The Fund's significant use of derivative instruments may cause liquidity risk to be greater than other mutual funds that invest in more traditional assets such as stocks and bonds, which trade on markets with more market participants.

Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund's portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. Because the Fund's investment process relies heavily on its tactical asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers' expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund's net asset value. Further, the portfolio managers' use of short derivative positions and instruments that provide economic leverage increases the volatility of the Fund's net asset value, which increases the potential of greater losses that may cause the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so.

Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the Fund's 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.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. To the extent that a large percentage of the Fund's assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers, a change in the value of the issuers' securities could affect the value of the Fund more than would occur in a diversified fund.

Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, except as otherwise noted in this prospectus, is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. In addition, changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and the SAI, and could adversely affect the Fund. For example, the Government of the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns.

Tax Risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. As a regulated investment company, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from sources treated as qualifying income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Internal Revenue Service has issued a number of private letter rulings to other mutual funds, including to another Invesco fund (upon which only the fund that received the private letter ruling can rely), which indicate that income from a fund's investment in certain commodity linked notes and a wholly owned foreign subsidiary that invests in commodity-linked derivatives, such as the Subsidiary, constitutes qualifying income. However, the Internal Revenue Service has suspended issuance of any further private letter rulings pending a review of its position. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the tax treatment of the Fund's use of commodity-linked notes or the Subsidiary (which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could limit the Fund's ability to pursue its investment strategy and the Fund might not qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event the Fund's Board of Trustees may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or Fund liquidation. In lieu of potential disqualification, the Fund is permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the income requirement, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Fund also may incur transaction and other costs to comply with any new or additional guidance from the Internal Revenue Service. For more information, please see the "Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters" section in the Fund's SAI.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund's ability to recover should they default.

Volatility Risk. The Fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund's net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time.
