PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
 
January 18, 2012
 
Introduction
 
This Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information that shareholders of the Invesco Commodities Strategy Fund (the “Target Fund”), a series of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”), should know before voting on the proposed reorganization that is described herein, and should be retained for future reference.  This document is both the proxy statement of the Target Fund and also a prospectus for the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), which is a series of the Trust.  The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are a series of a registered open-end management investment company.  The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund collectively are referred to as the “Funds” and individually as a “Fund.”
 
A special meeting of the shareholders of the Target Fund (the “Meeting”) will be held at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77046 on April 2, 2012, at 3:00 p.m., Central time.  At the Meeting, shareholders of the Target Fund will be asked to consider the following proposal:
 
To approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, providing for: (a) the acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of a corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund; (b) the distribution of such shares of the corresponding class to the shareholders of the Target Fund; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the Target Fund (the “Reorganization”).
 
The total value of the Acquiring Fund shares of each class that shareholders will receive in the Reorganization will be the same as the total value of the shares of each corresponding class of the Target Fund that shareholders held immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Reorganization is anticipated to be a tax-free transaction, meaning that shareholders should not be required to pay any federal income tax in connection with the Reorganization.  No sales charges or redemption fees will be imposed in connection with the Reorganization.
 
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on January 4, 2012, as the record date (“Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.  Shareholders of the Target Fund on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share of the Target Fund held (and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share).  This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the enclosed Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders, and the enclosed proxy card will be mailed on or about January 19, 2012, to all shareholders eligible to vote on the Reorganization.
 
The Board has approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interest of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and will not dilute the interests of the existing shareholders of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund.  If shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization, the Board will consider what further action is appropriate for the Target Fund.
 
Additional information about the Funds is available in the:
 
 
·
Prospectuses for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund;

PROPOSAL: TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
 

 
Shareholders of the Target Fund are being asked to consider and approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) that will have the effect of reorganizing the Target Fund with and into the Acquiring Fund, as summarized below.  The Agreement provides for (a) the acquisition of all of the assets and assumption of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of a corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund; (b) the distribution of such shares of the corresponding class to the shareholders of the Target Fund; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the Target Fund.
 

 
SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION
 
The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in the Agreement, and/or in the prospectuses and SAIs of the Funds. Shareholders should read the entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the prospectus of the Acquiring Fund carefully for more complete information.
 
On what am I being asked to vote?
 
As a shareholder of the Target Fund, you are being asked to consider and vote to approve the Agreement under which the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund will be transferred to the Acquiring Fund.

If shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Agreement, shares of each class of the Target Fund will be exchanged for Acquiring Fund shares of the corresponding class of equal value, which will result in your holding shares of the Acquiring Fund equal to the value of your shares of the corresponding class of the Target Fund, and the Target Fund will be liquidated and terminated.

Has my Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the Reorganization?
 
Yes.  The Board has carefully reviewed the proposal and unanimously approved the Agreement and the Reorganization.  The Board recommends that shareholders of the Target Fund vote “FOR” the Agreement.
 
What are the reasons for the proposed Reorganization?
 
On June 1, 2010, Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), the indirect parent company of Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser (“Invesco Advisers” or “Adviser”), acquired the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley, which included 92 Morgan Stanley and Van Kampen branded funds.  This transaction filled gaps in Invesco’s product line-up and has enabled the company to expand its investment offerings to retail customers.  The transaction also resulted in significant product overlap.  The Reorganization proposed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is part of a larger group of reorganizations across Invesco’s mutual fund platform that began in early 2011.  The reorganizations are designed to put forth Invesco’s most compelling investment processes and strategies, reduce product overlap, and create scale in the resulting funds.

In considering the Reorganization and the Agreement, the Board considered these and other factors in concluding that the Reorganization would be in the best interest of the Funds.  The Board’s considerations are described in more detail in the “THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION - Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization” section below.
 
What effect will the Reorganization have on me as a shareholder?
 
Immediately after the Reorganization, you will hold shares of a class of the Acquiring Fund that are equal in value to the shares of the corresponding class of the Target Fund that you held immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization.  The principal differences between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  The prospectus of the Acquiring Fund that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains additional information about the Acquiring Fund that you will hold shares of following the Reorganization, if approved.

How do the Funds’ investment objectives, principal investment strategies and risks compare?
 
The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund have similar investment objectives, as described below.  Each Fund’s investment objective is classified as non-fundamental, which means that it can be changed by the Board without shareholder approval, although there is no present intention to do so.
 
Investment Objectives
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Long-term total return.
To provide total return.

 
The principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund are similar to the principal investment strategies of the Target Fund, although the Acquiring Fund may invest in different types of investments and have different investment policies and limitations than the Target Fund.  As a result, the risks of owning shares of the Acquiring Fund are similar to the risks of owning shares of the Target Fund, although the risks of the Funds may not be exactly the same.  The sections below entitled “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS - Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies” and “Comparison of the Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds” compare the principal investment strategies and risks of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and highlight certain key differences.
 
How do the Funds’ expenses compare?
 
The tables below provide a summary comparison of the expenses of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, as well as estimated expenses on a pro forma basis giving effect to the proposed Reorganization.  The pro forma expense ratios show projected estimated expenses, but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.  Note that pro forma advisory fees and total expenses before fee waivers and expense reimbursements of the Acquiring Fund are expected to be higher than the total expenses of the Target Fund.

Expense ratios reflect annual fund operating expenses for the most recent fiscal year (as disclosed in the Funds’ current prospectuses) of the Target Fund (October 31, 2011) and the Acquiring Fund (October 31, 2011). Pro forma numbers are estimated as if the Reorganization had been completed as of November 1, 2010 and do not include the estimated costs of the Reorganization. The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund will not bear any Reorganization costs. For more information on the costs of the Reorganization to be borne by the Funds, see “Costs of the Reorganization” below.

Other Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses have been restated for the current fiscal year.
 
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2013, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, and Institutional Class shares to 1.22%, 1.97%, 1.97%, 1.47%, 0.97%, and 0.97%,  respectively, of average daily net assets. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are also excluded in determining such obligation. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2013.

Effective upon the closing of the Reorganization, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2014, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 1.22%, Class B shares to 1.97%, Class C shares to 1.97%, Class R to 1.47%, Class Y shares to 0.97% and Institutional Class shares to 0.97% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board and Invesco Advisers mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2014.

Expense Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in different classes of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  Pro forma combined costs of investing in different classes of the Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the Reorganization of the corresponding Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund are also provided.  All costs are based upon the information set forth in the Fee Tables above.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and shows the expenses that you would pay if you redeem all of your shares at the end of those time periods.  The Example also assumes that

your investment has a 5% return each year and that the operating expenses remain the same.  The Example reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that are contractual, if any, but does not reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.  To the extent fees are waived and/or expenses are reimbursed on a voluntary basis, your expenses will be lower.  Although your actual returns and costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The Example is not a representation of past or future expenses.  Each Fund’s actual expenses, and an investor’s direct and indirect expenses, may be more or less than those shown.  The table and the assumption in the Example of a 5% annual return are required by regulations of the SEC applicable to all mutual funds.  The 5% annual return is not a prediction of and does not represent the Funds’ projected or actual performance.

Portfolio Turnover

Each 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 examples, affect each Fund’s performance.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011, the Target Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 69% of the average value of the portfolio.  The Acquiring Fund commenced operations on November 29, 2010.  During the period November 29, 2010 to January 31, 2011, the Acquiring Fund did not experience portfolio turnover.

For further discussion regarding the Board’s consideration of the fees and expenses of the Funds in approving the Reorganization, see the section entitled “THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION - Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization” in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

How do the performance records of the Funds compare?
 
The performance history of each Fund for certain periods as of September 30, 2011 is shown below.  The returns below may not be indicative of a Fund’s future performance.  The table below compares the performance history of the Acquiring Fund’s oldest share class to the performance history of the comparable class of the Target Fund.  Since inception performance is only provided for share classes with less than 10 years of performance history.  Other classes of shares that are not presented would have had substantially similar annual returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns will differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.  The prospectuses for the Funds contain additional performance information under the headings “Performance Information” and “Financial Highlights.”  Additional performance information and a discussion of performance are also included in each Fund’s most recent annual report to shareholders.

The returns shown for periods prior to June 1, 2010, are those of the Class A shares of a predecessor fund that was advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. and was reorganized into the Acquiring Fund on June 1, 2010.  The returns shown for periods after June 1, 2010, are those of the Acquiring Fund. The returns of the Acquiring Fund are different from the predecessor fund as they had different expenses and sales charges.

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-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
 
How do the management, investment adviser and other service providers of the Funds compare?
 
Each Fund is overseen by the same Board and officers.  In addition, Invesco Advisers, a registered investment adviser, serves as primary investment adviser for each Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement that contains substantially identical terms (except for fees) for each Fund.  The effective advisory fee at current breakpoint levels of the Acquiring Fund is higher than the effective advisory fee of the Target Fund.  Invesco Advisers is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.  Invesco Advisers has acted as an investment adviser since its organization in 1976.  As of September 30, 2011, Invesco Advisers had $281 billion under management.  Invesco Advisers is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco.
 
The advisory agreement applicable to the Funds provides that Invesco Advisers may delegate any and all of its rights, duties, and obligations to one or more wholly-owned affiliates of Invesco as sub-advisers (the “Invesco Sub-Advisers”). Pursuant to Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contracts, the Invesco Sub-Advisers may be appointed by Invesco Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to a Fund.  The Invesco Sub-Advisers, each of which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, are:
 
·Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH;
·Invesco Hong Kong Limited;
·Invesco Asset Management Limited;
·Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited;
·Invesco Australia Limited;
·Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and
·Invesco Canada Ltd.

Other key service providers to the Target Fund, including the administrator, transfer agent, custodian, distributor and auditor, provide the same or substantially the same services to the Acquiring Fund.  The Acquiring Fund’s prospectus and SAI describe the services and other arrangements with these service providers.
 

How do the Funds’ purchase and redemption procedures and exchange policies compare?
 
The purchase and redemption procedures and exchange policies for each class of the Target Fund are the same as those of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund.

How do the Funds’ sales charges and distribution arrangements compare?
 
The sales charges and sales charge exemptions for each class of the Target Fund are the same as those of the corresponding class of the Acquiring Fund.  For more information on the sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing arrangements of the Funds, see the section entitled “Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements.”

Will the Acquiring Fund have different portfolio managers than a corresponding Target Fund?
 
No.  The portfolio management team for the Target Fund is the same as the portfolio management team for the Acquiring Fund.  The Acquiring Fund prospectus that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides biographical information about the key individuals that comprise the portfolio management team for the Acquiring Fund.
 
Will there be any tax consequences resulting from the proposal?
 
The Reorganization is designed to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and the Target Fund anticipates receiving a legal opinion to that effect.  Thus, while there can be no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will adopt a similar position, it is expected that shareholders will have no adverse federal income tax consequences as a result of the Reorganization.  Shareholders should consult their tax adviser about state and local tax consequences of the Reorganization, if any, because the information about tax consequences in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization only.
 
When are the Reorganization expected to occur?
 
If shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Reorganization, it is anticipated that the Reorganization will occur in the second quarter of 2012.
 
How do I vote on the Reorganization?
 
There are several ways you can vote your shares, including in person at the Meeting, by mail, by telephone, or via the Internet.  The proxy card that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides detailed instructions on how you may vote your shares.  If you properly fill in and sign your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote at the Meeting, your “proxy” (the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed.  If you sign your proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares FOR the proposal, as recommended by the Board, and in their best judgment on other matters.
 
What will happen if shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization?
 
If the shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization, the Target Fund’s Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Target Fund.
 
What if I do not wish to participate in the Reorganization?
 
If you do not wish to have your shares of the Target Fund exchanged for shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization that is approved by shareholders, you may redeem your shares prior to the consummation

of the Reorganization.  If you redeem your shares, you will incur any applicable deferred sales charge, and if you hold shares in a taxable account, you will recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them.
 
Why are you sending me the Proxy Statement/Prospectus?
 
You are receiving this Proxy Statement/Prospectus because you own shares in the Target Fund as of the Record Date and have the right to vote on the very important proposal described herein concerning your Target Fund.  This Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains information that shareholders of the Target Fund should know before voting on the proposed Reorganization.  This document is both a proxy statement of the Target Fund and also a prospectus for the Acquiring Fund.
 
Where can I find more information about the Funds and the Reorganization?
 
Additional information about the Funds can be found in their respective prospectuses and SAIs.  The remainder of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains additional information about the Reorganization.  You are encouraged to read the entire document.  If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the Reorganization or how to vote, please call Invesco Client Services at (800) 959-4246.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
 
Comparison of Principal Investment Strategies
 
The following section compares the principal investment strategies of the Target Fund with the principal investment strategies of the Acquiring Fund and highlights any key differences.  In addition to the principal investment strategies described below, each Fund is also subject to certain additional investment policies and limitations, which are described in each Fund’s prospectus and SAI.  The cover page of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes how you can obtain copies of these documents.  A comparison of the principal risks associated with the Funds’ investment strategies is described below under “Comparison of Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds.”
 
Investment Strategies.  The Target Fund seeks to outperform the returns of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Total Return Index (“DJ-UCI”). The Target Fund invests primarily in derivative instruments, including commodity-linked notes, commodity total return swaps and commodity futures, and also in money market instruments and the Subsidiary (discussed below). The Adviser uses an indexed-based process designed to balance the risk among the main commodity sectors such that no one sector drives the portfolio’s performance. Commodity-linked notes will be used to facilitate exposure to the entire DJ-UCI. Commodity-linked notes are derivative debt instruments whose principal and/or interest payments are linked to the price movement of a commodity, commodity index or commodity futures or option contract. Commodity-linked notes are typically issued by a bank or other financial institution and are sometimes referred to as structured notes. Commodity total return swaps will be used to efficiently manage the Fund’s exposure to the benchmark. Commodity total return swaps are two party contracts in which the parties agree to exchange the return or interest rate on one instrument for the return of a particular commodity, commodity index or commodities futures or options contract. The payment streams are calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. These commodity swaps may be held either directly by the Fund or through the Subsidiary. The Fund invests in futures contracts to seek those sources of returns that are ignored or deemphasized by the benchmark. A futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument or commodity at a specific price at a specific future time. The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying instrument or commodity. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled through either physical delivery of the underlying instrument or commodity on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. Additionally, the Adviser employs an actively-managed, quantitative investment approach that seeks to generate incremental return (alpha) above the DJ-UCI.

The Target Fund will generally maintain in the range of 40% to 70% of its net assets (including assets invested in the Subsidiary) in cash and cash equivalent instruments including affiliated money market funds.  The Target Fund will invest up to 25% of its assets in the subsidiary.

The Acquiring Fund invests, under normal conditions, in derivatives and other commodity-linked instruments whose performance is expected to correspond to the performance of the underlying commodity, without investing directly in physical commodities.  The Acquiring Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in derivatives and other commodity-linked instruments that provide exposure to the following four sectors of the commodities markets: agricultural, energy, industrial metals and precious metals.  The Acquiring Fund primarily will invest in the Subsidiary (described below), commodity-based exchange-traded funds, commodity-linked notes and cash and cash equivalents.  In order to gain additional exposure to commodities, the Acquiring Fund may also invest directly in futures, swaps and commodity-linked notes.  In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Acquiring Fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.

The Acquiring Fund will generally maintain in the range of 40% to 70% of its total assets (including assets invested in the Subsidiary) in cash and cash equivalent instruments including affiliated money market funds.  The Acquiring Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.

Relative to index-based commodity funds that are passively managed, the Funds will seek to provide greater capital loss protection during down markets using the portfolio management team’s active three-step investment process.  This three step investment process involves (1) selecting representative commodity assets to gain exposure to the agriculture, energy, industrial metals, and precious metals sectors; (2) estimating the risk correlation of the selected commodity assets to create a potential portfolio of investments; and (3) actively positioning the Acquiring Fund’s commodity positions to reflect the near-term market environment, while remaining consistent with the balanced-risk long-term portfolio structure described above.  The management team balances the opportunity for excess return from active positioning and the need to maintain commodity asset class exposure by setting controlled tactical ranges around the long-term commodity asset allocation.


Subsidiaries.  For tax reasons, a portion of each Fund’s commodities exposure will be achieved through investment in a subsidiary organized under the laws of the Cayman islands (a “Subsidiary”).  Each Fund will invest in a wholly-owned Subsidiary and the Subsidiary, in turn, will invest in the commodity-related instruments described above for each Fund.  Each Subsidiary is advised by Invesco and has the same investment objective as the corresponding Fund and generally employs the same investment strategy.  The Subsidiary, unlike its parent Fund, may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities.  The Subsidiary also may hold cash and invest in cash equivalent instruments, including affiliated money market funds, some of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions.  Each Fund will be subject to the risks associated with any investment by its respective Subsidiary to the extent of the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary.

Active and frequent trading.  In attempting to meet its investment objective, each Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.

Non-diversification.  Each Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
 
Repositioning Costs.

The Reorganization may result in the sale of some of the portfolio securities of the Target Fund as the Funds' portfolio managers align the combined portfolio with the Acquiring Fund’s investment strategy.  The transaction costs incurred in connection with the sale of such portfolio securities is estimated not to be material.  A discussion of the potential tax impact of such sales of portfolio securities is included under "The Proposed Reorganization - Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this proxy/prospectus.

Comparison of Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds
 

 
14

 

The table below describes the principal risks that may affect each Fund’s investment portfolio.  For more information on the risks associated with the Acquiring Fund, see the “Investment Strategies and Risks” section of the Acquiring Fund’s SAI.
 
Principal Risk
Funds Subject to Risk
Active Trading Risk. The Fund engages in frequent trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added expenses and may result in a lower return and increased tax liability.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
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 the lack of a secondary trading market and temporary price distortions due to speculators and/or the continuous rolling over of futures contracts underlying the notes. Commodity-linked notes 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 the Fund.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Commodity Risk. The Fund's and the Subsidiary's investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, may subject the Fund and the Subsidiary 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 and the Subsidiary's performance is linked to the performance of potentially volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund's shares.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Credit Risk. The issuer of instruments in which the 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.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
 
Counterparty Risk. Many of the instruments that the Fund expects to hold may be subject to the risk that the other party to a contract will not fulfill its contractual obligations.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
 
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. A 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 the Fund. The derivative instruments and techniques that the Fund and the Subsidiary may principally use include:
 
Swaps. A swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Swaps are subject to credit risk and counterparty risk.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund

 
15

 


Futures. A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events.
 
 
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.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
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. Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair the Fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Liquidity Risk. The 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.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
 
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
 
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.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer.  A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
 
Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments, including derivatives and commodities. Because the Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), the Fund, as the sole investor in the Subsidiary, will not have the protections offered to investors in U.S. registered investment companies. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Tax Risk. 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 “Code”). The Fund intends to treat the income it derives from certain commodity- linked notes (“CLNs”) and the Subsidiary as qualifying income based on the holdings in a number private letter rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to others,  including to certain Invesco funds, but on which the Fund (other than the Acquiring Fund with respect to CLNs as described below) cannot rely.  As of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the IRS has reportedly suspended the issuance of further such private letter rulings, but has taken no action to revoke any such previously issued rulings. In the event the IRS were to change its position with respect to the conclusions reached in these private letter rulings, the income and gains from the Fund’s investment in the CLNs and/or the Subsidiary might be nonqualifying income, in
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund

 
16

 


which case the Fund might not qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event, the Fund’s Board 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 90% income requirement, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.  As of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Acquiring Fund has pending before the IRS a request for a private letter ruling that holds income from the Subsidiary is qualifying income and previously received a private letter ruling that holds income from CLNs is qualifying income.
 
 
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.
 
Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
Concentration Risk. To the extent the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.

Each Fund has adopted fundamental investment restrictions concerning, among other things, concentration in particular industries, borrowing and loaning money, and investing in real estate and commodities.  Except for the Acquiring Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions relating to concentration in particular industries and investing in commodities, the fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions of the Target Fund and those of the Acquiring Fund are the same.  The Acquiring Fund will concentrate its investments in order to obtain exposure to the commodities markets.  The Target Fund will not make investments that will result in concentration. The Funds will not invest in physical commodities, except that the Funds may invest 25% of its total assets in its respective Subsidiary in order to obtain exposure to commodities markets.  However, the Acquiring Fund may further invest outside of its Subsidiary in other commodity-linked instruments such as commodity-linked notes, ETFs, futures and swaps.  Fundamental investment restrictions of a Fund cannot be changed without shareholder approval.  Non-fundamental investment restrictions of a Fund can be changed by a Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund may be subject to other investment restrictions that are not identified above. A full description of the Target Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund's investment policies and restrictions may be found in its respective SAI.

Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements
 
Shares of each class of the Target Fund will be exchanged for shares of a specific class of the Acquiring Fund.  The following sub-sections identify the Acquiring Fund share class that corresponds with the Target Fund share class as well as the different distribution arrangements among the various share classes.

Class Structure.  The Funds each offer multiple share classes.  Each such class offers a distinct structure of sales charges, distribution and/or service fees, and reductions and waivers thereto, which are designed to address a variety of shareholder servicing needs.  In addition, some share classes have certain eligibility requirements that must be met to invest in that class of shares.  The eligibility requirements are the same for each Fund and are described in the Funds’ prospectuses.

The share classes offered by the Target Fund and the corresponding share classes of the Acquiring Fund that Target Fund shareholders will receive in connection with the Reorganization are as follows:
 
 
17

 
 
Target Fund Share Classes
Acquiring Fund Share Classes
Class A
Class B
Class C
Class R
Class Y
Institutional Class
Class A
Class B
Class C
Class R
Class Y
Institutional Class

Neither Fund currently offers Class B shares to new investors.  Existing investors of the Target Fund that owned Class B shares before their closure will continue to receive reinvested dividends in the form of new Class B shares but may no longer add to their existing positions in Class B shares.  Shareholders who receive Class B shares in connection with the Reorganization may continue to hold those shares and reinvest dividends until the scheduled conversion date of the Class B shares to Class A shares but may not purchase new Class B shares.

Sales Charges.

The sales charge schedule (if any) of each share classes of the Target Fund are substantially the same as the sales charge schedule (if any) of the corresponding share classes of the Acquiring Fund.  Class A shares of each Fund are sold with an initial sales charge that ranges from 5.50% to zero depending on the amount of your investment.  Class B and Class C shares of each Fund are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge that may be imposed when the shares are sold.  Class A shares may also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more if redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase.  Each Fund offers reductions and waivers of the initial sales charge and contingent deferred sale charge to certain eligible investors or under certain circumstances, which are substantially the same between the Funds.  Class R, Class Y, and Institutional Class shares are sold without any initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.  Each share class except Class Y and Institutional Class imposes an asset based sales charge or service fee under one or more plans adopted by the Board, which are described in the following section.  The Funds’ prospectuses describe the sales charge schedules and applicable waivers and exemptions of each such share class.

You will not pay an initial sales charge on Acquiring Fund Class A shares that you receive in connection with the Reorganization.  In addition, the exchange of Class A shares, Class B shares or Class C shares of the Target Fund for corresponding classes of the Acquiring Fund at the consummation of the Reorganization will not result in the imposition of any contingent deferred sales charge that applies to those share classes.  Upon consummation of the Reorganization, former Target Fund shareholders of Class A shares, Class B shares or Class C shares will be credited for the period of time from their original date of purchase of the Target Fund Class A shares, Class B shares or Class C shares for purposes of determining the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge that may be due upon subsequent redemption, if any.  In addition, the CDSC schedule that applies to the Class B shares of the Target Fund that you own will continue to apply to the Class B shares of the Acquiring Fund that you receive in the Reorganization.  The Acquiring Fund initial sales charges for Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges that apply to Class A shares and Class C shares will apply to any Class A shares or Class C shares of the Acquiring Fund purchased after the Reorganization, unless you are eligible for a reduction or waiver of the initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Distribution Fees.  The Funds have adopted distribution plans and service plans (together, the “Distribution Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), with respect to each of their Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares.  Class Y and Institutional Class shares of the Funds are not subject to the Distribution Plans.

Pursuant to the Target Fund’s Distribution Plan, the Target Fund is authorized to make payments to Invesco Distributors, Inc., the Funds’ principal underwriter (“IDI”) in connection with the distribution of Target Fund shares and providing shareholder services at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Target Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, at the annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Target Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares, and at the annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Target Fund’s average net assets attributable to Class R shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing expense limits, however, IDI may be reimbursed from the Target Fund only up to the amount it has spent on activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of shares or the servicing of shareholders.  This type of Distribution Plan is sometimes referred to

 
18

 

as a “reimbursement-type” plan because the underwriter is only entitled to be reimbursed for its plan-related expenses.

The Distribution Plans for the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund are similar except that the IDI is entitled to be paid by the Acquiring Fund the maximum amounts described above (i.e., 0.25% for Class A shares, 1.00% for Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% for Class R shares) regardless of the amount IDI has spent on activities or expenses intended to result in the sale of shares or the servicing of shareholders. This type of Distribution Plan is sometimes referred to as a “compensation-type” plan because the underwriter is compensated at a fixed rate, regardless of its actual distribution and service-related expenditures.  Thus it is possible that under the Acquiring Fund’s Distribution Plan the underwriter could, in practice, receive payments in excess of the amounts actually paid under the Target Fund’s “reimbursement” type Distribution Plan.

The fee table under the “SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION – How do the Funds’ expenses compare” section of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes the fees paid under each Funds’ Distribution Plan for a recent period as well as an estimate of the fees to be paid under the Acquiring Fund’s Distribution Plan following the Reorganization.

The fee table under the “SUMMARY OF KEY INFORMATION – How do the Funds’ expenses compare” section of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes the fees paid under each Funds’ Distribution Plan for a recent period as well as an estimate of the fees to be paid under the Distribution Plan following the Reorganization.

Comparison of Purchase and Redemption Procedures
 
The purchase procedures employed by the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are substantially the same.  Each Fund offers shares through its distributor on a continuous basis. Shares of the Funds may be purchased directly through the transfer agent and through other authorized financial intermediaries. Investors may purchase both initial and additional shares by mail, wire, telephone or the internet. The Acquiring Fund prospectus enclosed with this Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes in detail how shareholders can purchase Acquiring Fund shares. Class A, Class B (closed to new investments, except dividend reinvestments), Class C, and Class Y shares of the Funds require a minimum investment of $1,000 ($250 for IRA, Roth IRA, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts).  There is no minimum investment required to purchase Class R shares.  Institutional Class shares of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund each require a minimum initial investment that ranges from $0 to $10 million, depending on the type of account making the investment.  The Acquiring Fund’s prospectus describes the types of accounts to which the minimum initial investment applies.  For accounts participating in a systematic investment program, the minimum investment is $50 ($25 for IRA, Roth IRA, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts). Certain exemptions apply as set forth in the Funds’ prospectuses.  The foregoing investment minimums will not apply to shares received in connection with the Reorganization.  However, investors may be charged a small-account fee if account balances remain below the required investment minimum for certain periods.  See the Funds’ prospectuses for details.

Comparison of Distribution Policies
 
Each Fund declares and pays dividends of net investment income, if any, annually, and capital gains distributions, if any, at least annually.  Each Fund may also declare and pay capital gains distributions more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Fund.  Each Fund automatically reinvests any dividends from net investment income or capital gains distributions, unless otherwise instructed by a shareholder to pay dividends and distributions in cash.

Forms of Organization and Securities to be Issued
 
The Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund are series of the same Delaware statutory trust, with the same governing instruments, including the declaration of trust and bylaws.  As a result, there are no material differences between the rights of shareholders under the governing state laws of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund.  Each share of the Acquiring Fund represents an equal proportionate interest with each other share of the Fund, and each such share is entitled to equal dividend, liquidation, redemption and voting rights, except where class voting is required by the Trust’s governing instruments, the Board or applicable law, in which case shareholders of a class will have exclusive voting rights on matters affecting only that class.  The assets and liabilities of each Fund are

 
19

 

legally separate from the assets and liabilities of any other fund that is a series of the respective Trust.  More information about the voting, dividend and other rights associated with shares of the Funds can be found in each Fund’s SAI.

At the Closing (defined below), Acquiring Fund shares will be credited to Target Fund shareholders only on a book-entry basis.  The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing shares in connection with the exchange of Target Fund shares, irrespective of whether Target Fund shareholders hold their shares in certificated form.  At the Closing, all outstanding certificates representing shares of the Target Fund will be cancelled.

 
Pending Litigation
 
Civil lawsuits, including a regulatory proceeding and purported class action and shareholder derivative suits, have been filed against certain Invesco Funds, INVESCO Funds Group, Inc. (“IFG”) (the former investment adviser to certain funds), a predecessor to Invesco Advisers, IDI and/or related entities and individuals, depending on the lawsuit, alleging among other things:  (i) that the defendants permitted improper market timing and related activity in the funds; and (ii) that certain funds inadequately employed fair value pricing.  You can find more detailed information concerning all of the above matters, including the parties to the civil lawsuits and summaries of the various allegations and remedies sought in such lawsuits, in the Acquiring Fund’s SAI.

THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
 
Summary of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
 
The terms and conditions under which the Reorganization may be consummated are set forth in the Agreement.  Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below; however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
 
With respect to the Reorganization, if shareholders of the Target Fund approve the Agreement and other closing conditions are satisfied, the assets of the Target Fund will be delivered to the Acquiring Fund’s custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Target Fund and delivery by the Acquiring Fund to the Target Fund for further delivery to the holders of record as of the Effective Time (as defined below) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Fund of a number of shares of the Acquiring Fund (including, if applicable, fractional shares rounded to the nearest thousandth), having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the net assets of the Target Fund so transferred, all determined and adjusted as provided in the Agreement.  The value of your account with the Acquiring Fund immediately after the Reorganization will be the same as the value of your account with the Target Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization.
 
The class or classes of Acquiring Fund shares that shareholders will receive in connection with the Reorganization will depend on the class or classes of Target Fund shares that shareholders hold, as described above under “Comparison of Share Classes and Distribution Arrangements.”
 
The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund will be required to make representations and warranties in the form of Agreement that are customary in matters such as the Reorganization.
 

 
20

 

If shareholders approve the Reorganization and if all of the closing conditions set forth in the Agreement are satisfied or waived, consummation of the Reorganization (the “Closing”) is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2012 (the “Closing Date”), immediately prior to the opening of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”).  Following receipt of the requisite shareholder vote in favor of the Reorganization and as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the outstanding shares of the Target Fund will be terminated in accordance with its governing documents and applicable law.
 
If shareholders of the Target Fund do not approve the Agreement or if the Reorganization does not otherwise close, the Board will consider what additional action to take.  The Agreement may be terminated and the Reorganization may be abandoned at any time by mutual agreement of the parties.  The Agreement may be amended or modified in a writing signed by the parties to the Agreement.
 
Board Considerations in Approving the Reorganization
 
As discussed above, on June 1, 2010, Invesco acquired the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley, which included 92 Morgan Stanley and Van Kampen branded funds.  This transaction filled gaps in Invesco’s product line-up and has enabled Invesco to expand its investment offerings to retail customers.  The transaction also resulted in significant product overlap.  The Reorganization proposed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is part of a larger group of reorganizations across Invesco’s mutual fund platform that began in early 2011.  The reorganizations are designed to put forth Invesco’s most compelling investment processes and strategies, reduce product overlap, and create scale in the resulting funds.
 
Each Board of Trustees of the Invesco Funds created an ad hoc committee (the “Ad Hoc Merger Committee”), which met separately multiple times from September 2011 through November 2011 to discuss the proposed Reorganization.  Meetings of the full Board were also held to review and consider the Reorganization, including presentations by the Ad Hoc Merger Committee.  The trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) met separately to consider these matters.  The Independent Trustees have been advised on this matter by independent counsel to the Independent Trustees and by the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Trust who reports directly to the Independent Trustees.  The Board received from Invesco Advisers and IDI written materials containing relevant information about the Funds and the proposed Reorganization, including fee and expense information on an actual and pro forma estimated basis, and comparative portfolio composition and performance data.
 
The Board considered the potential benefits and costs of the Reorganization to the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund, and their respective shareholders.  The Board reviewed detailed information comparing the following information for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund: (1) investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (2) portfolio management; (3) portfolio composition; (4) the comparative investment performance; (5) the current expense ratios and expense structures, including contractual investment advisory fees; (6) the expected federal income tax consequences to the Funds, including any impact on capital loss carry forwards; and (7) relative asset size and net purchase (redemption) trends.  The Board also considered the benefits to the Target Fund of (i) combining with a similar fund to create a larger fund with a more diversified shareholder base, and (ii) Invesco Advisers’ paying each Fund’s Reorganization costs, (iii) Invesco Adviser’s agreement to cap expenses of the Acquiring Fund for two years after the Closing; and (iv) the expected tax free nature of the Reorganization for the Target Fund and its shareholders for federal income tax purposes.  The Board also considered the overall goal of the reorganizations to rationalize the Invesco Funds to enable IDI to better focus on the combined funds to promote additional asset growth.
 
With respect to the Reorganization, the Board further considered that (i) the investment objective, strategies and related risks of the Funds are somewhat similar, with each Fund having an investment objective of seeking, to varying degrees, both growth of capital by investing in commodity-related instruments, fixed income securities, and cash instruments, although the portfolio composition strategies and securities selection techniques differ among the Funds and (ii) the Funds have the same portfolio management team.  The Trustees were cognizant of the fact that Target Fund shareholders would become shareholders of a Fund with a higher effective management fee and a gross total expense ratio on a pro forma basis and of Invesco Advisers’ agreement to limit the Acquiring Fund’s total expenses through June 30, 2014 so that such expenses do not exceed an agreed upon cap as set forth in the fee tables above.
 

 
21

 

Based upon the information and considerations described above, the Board, on behalf of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, approved the Reorganization in order to combine the Target Fund with a similar Fund in terms of investment objectives, strategies and risks, portfolio management and portfolio composition to create a larger fund with a relatively more diversified shareholder base.  The Board also determined that shareholders of the Funds could potentially benefit from the growth in assets realized by the Reorganization.  The Board concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and that no dilution of value would result to the shareholders of the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund from the Reorganization.  Consequently, the Board approved the Agreement and each of the Reorganization.
 

 
Federal Income Tax Considerations
 
The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Reorganization and is based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the existing U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, current administrative rulings of the IRS and published judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change.  These considerations are general in nature and individual shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax considerations applicable to them and their individual circumstances.  These same considerations generally do not apply to shareholders who hold their shares in a tax-deferred account.
 
The Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code.  The principal federal income tax considerations that are expected to result from the Reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund are as follows:
 
 
·
no gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund or the shareholders of the Target Fund as a result of the Reorganization;
 
 
·
no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund as a result of the Reorganization;
 
 
·
the aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be received by a shareholder of the Target Fund will be the same as the shareholder’s aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Target Fund; and
 
 
·
the holding period of the shares of the Acquiring Fund  received by a shareholder of the Target Fund will include the period that a shareholder held the shares of the Target Fund  (provided that such shares of the Target Fund are capital assets in the hands of such shareholder as of the Closing).
 
  Neither the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund have requested or will request an advance ruling from the IRS as to the federal tax consequences of the Reorganization. As a condition to Closing, Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP will render a favorable opinion to the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund as to the foregoing federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, which opinion will be conditioned upon, among other things, the accuracy, as of the Effective Time, of certain representations of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund upon which Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP will rely in rendering its opinion.  Such opinion of counsel may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on the Target Fund or any Target Fund shareholder with respect to any transferred asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting.  A copy of the opinion will be filed with the SEC and will be available for public inspection.  See “Where to Find Additional Information.”
 
Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or the courts.  If the Reorganization is consummated but the IRS or the courts determine that the Reorganization does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, and thus is taxable, the Target Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the Acquiring Fund and each shareholder of the Target Fund would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Target Fund shares and the fair market value of the shares of the Acquiring Fund it receives.
 
A portion of the Target Fund’s portfolio assets are anticipated to be sold in connection with the Reorganization as distinct from normal portfolio turnover.  This may result in the realization of capital gains that, to the extent not offset by capital losses, would be distributed to shareholders. Such repositioning of the Target Fund’s portfolio assets may occur before or after the Closing of the Reorganization.   At July 31, 2011, the Target Fund had $4.7 million of net unrealized appreciation in its portfolio assets on a tax basis and $10.6 million of available capital loss carryovers. To the extent such repositioning occurs before Closing, it is not anticipated that the sale of Target Fund’s assets will result in any material amounts of capital gain to be distributed to Target Fund shareholders based on the Target Fund’s available capital loss carryovers and net unrealized appreciation in the value of its portfolio assets at July 31, 2011. To the extent such repositioning occurs after Closing, the sale of the Target Fund’s portfolio assets may result in the realization of capital gains, that, to the extent not offset by capital losses, would be distributed to the shareholders of the combined Fund. As described below, the Acquiring Fund at April 30, 2011 had no capital loss carryovers and any capital loss carryovers of the Target Fund that move to the Acquiring Fund are anticipated to be subject to limitations.  In addition, whether the repositioning occurs before or after Closing, some portion of the gains realized may be taxable as ordinary income that is required to be distributed to as ordinary dividends, although such portion is not expected to be substantial. The ability of either the Target Fund prior to Closing or the combined Fund after Closing to offset any capital gains resulting from the sale of the Target Fund’s portfolio assets with any available capital loss carryovers depends on a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance of Closing.
 

 
22

 

Prior to the Closing of the Reorganization, the Target Fund will distribute, and the Acquiring Fund may distribute, to their respective shareholders any undistributed income and gains (net of available capital loss carryovers) to the extent required to avoid entity level tax or as otherwise deemed desirable.  Such distributions, if made, are anticipated to be made in the 2012 calendar year and would be taxable to shareholders in such year.
 
The tax attributes, including capital loss carryovers, of the Target Fund move to the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization.  The capital loss carryovers of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are available to offset future gains recognized by the combined Fund, subject to limitations under the Code.  Where these limitations apply, all or a portion of a Fund’s capital loss carryovers may become unavailable the effect of which may be to accelerate the recognition of taxable gain to the combined Fund and its shareholders post-Closing.  First, the capital loss carryovers of the Target Fund, increased by any current year loss or decreased by any current year gain, together with any net unrealized depreciation in the value of its portfolio investments (collectively, its “aggregate capital loss carryovers”), are expected to become subject to an annual limitation. Losses in excess of that limitation may be carried forward to succeeding tax years, subject, in the case of net capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010 as discussed below, to an overall eight-year carryover period.  The annual limitation will generally equal the net asset value of the Target Fund on the Closing Date multiplied by the “long-term tax-exempt rate” published by the IRS. If the Target Fund has net unrealized built-in gains at the time of Closing of the Reorganization (i.e., unrealized appreciation in value of the Fund’s investments), the annual limitation for a taxable year will be increased by the amount of such built-in gains that are recognized in the taxable year.  Second, if a Fund has built-in gains at the time of the Reorganization that are realized by the combined Fund in the five-year period following the Reorganization, such built-in gains, when realized, may not be offset by the losses (including any capital loss carryovers and “built in losses”) of the other Fund.  Third, the capital losses of the Target Fund that may be used by the Acquiring Fund (including to offset any “built-in gains” of the Target Fund itself) for the first taxable year ending after the Closing Date will be limited to an amount equal to the capital gain net income of the Acquiring Fund for such taxable year (excluding capital loss carryovers) treated as realized post-Closing based on the number of days remaining in such year. Fourth, the Reorganization may result in an earlier expiration of a Fund’s capital loss carryovers because the Reorganization causes the Target Fund’s tax year to close early in the year of the Reorganization.
 
Additionally, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date (December 22, 2010) for regulated investment companies regardless of whether such regulated investment company is a party to a reorganization.  Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward indefinitely.  However, capital losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses arising in post-enactment taxable years have been utilized.  As a result, some net capital loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years which otherwise would have been utilized under prior law may expire.
 
The aggregate capital loss carryovers of the Funds and the approximate annual limitation on the use by the Acquiring Fund, post-Closing, of the Target Fund’s aggregate capital loss carryovers following the Reorganization are as follows:
 
 
Target Fund
(000,000s)
Acquiring Fund
(000,000s)
at 7/31/2011
at 4/30/2011
     
Aggregate capital loss carryovers on a tax basis
($10.6)
---
Unrealized Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in Investments on a Tax Basis
$4.7
$4.6
Aggregate Net Asset Value

$130.1
Approximate annual limitation (1)
$4.0
N/A
(1)           Based on the long-term tax-exempt rate for ownership changes during November 2011 of 3.77%.

Based upon the Target Fund’s capital loss position at July 31, 2011, the annual limitation on the use of its aggregate capital loss carryovers may not prevent the combined Fund from utilizing such losses, albeit over a period of time.  However, the effect of the annual limitation may be to cause the combined Fund, post-Closing, to distribute
 

 
23

 

more capital gains in a taxable year than might otherwise have been the case if no such limitation had applied.  The ability of the Acquiring Fund to absorb the capital loss carryovers of the Target Fund post-Closing depends upon a variety of factors that can not be known in advance. For more information with respect to each Fund’s capital loss carryovers, please refer to the Fund’s shareholder report.
 
In addition, if the Acquiring Fund following the Reorganization has proportionately greater unrealized appreciation in its portfolio investments as a percentage of its net asset value than the Target Fund, shareholders of the Target Fund, post-Closing, may receive greater amounts of taxable gain as such portfolio investments are sold than they otherwise might have if the Reorganization had not occurred. The Target Fund’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of its portfolio investments on a tax basis as a percentage of its net asset value at July 31, 2011 is 4% compared to the Acquiring Fund at April 30, 2011 of 4%, and on a combined basis of 4%.
 
After the Reorganization, shareholders will continue to be responsible for tracking the adjusted tax basis and holding period of their shares for federal income tax purposes.
 
Costs of the Reorganization(s)
 
The total cost of the Reorganization to be paid by the Acquiring Fund is estimated to be $30,000.  The total estimated costs of the Reorganization for the Target Fund, as well as the estimated proxy solicitation costs for the Target Fund, which are part of the total Reorganization costs, are estimated to be $110,000 and $19,000, respectively.  Invesco Advisers will bear the Reorganization costs of each Fund.  The costs of the Reorganization include legal counsel fees, independent accountant fees, expenses related to the printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and fees associated with the proxy solicitation but do not include any portfolio transaction costs arising from the Reorganization.
 
 
VOTING INFORMATION
 
Proxy Statement/Prospectus
 
We are sending you this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the enclosed proxy card because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournments of the Meeting.  This Proxy Statement/Prospectus gives you information about the business to be conducted at the Meeting.  Target Fund shareholders may vote by appearing in person at the Meeting and following the instructions below.  You do not need to attend the Meeting to vote, however.  Instead, you may simply complete, sign, and return the enclosed proxy card or vote by telephone or through a website established for that purpose.
 
This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the enclosed Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders, and the enclosed proxy card are expected to be mailed on or about January 19, 2012, to all shareholders entitled to vote.  Shareholders of record of  the Target Fund as of the close of business on January 4, 2012 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote at the Meeting.  The number of outstanding shares of each class of the Target Fund on January 4, 2012, can be found at Exhibit A.  Each share is entitled to one vote for each full share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held.
 
Proxies will have the authority to vote and act on behalf of shareholders at any adjournment of the Meeting.  If a proxy is authorized to vote for a shareholder, the shareholder may revoke the authorization at any time before it is exercised by sending in another proxy card with a later date or by notifying the Secretary of the Target Fund in writing at the address of the Target Fund set forth on the cover page of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus before the Meeting that the shareholder has revoked its proxy.  In addition, although merely attending the Meeting will not revoke your proxy, if a shareholder is present at the Meeting, the shareholder may withdraw the proxy and vote in person.  However, if your shares are held through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from them in order to vote your shares at the Meeting.
 
Quorum Requirement and Adjournment
 

 
24

 

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid shareholder meeting of the Target Fund.  For the Target Fund, a quorum will exist if shareholders representing one-third of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund entitled to vote are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.
 
Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” the Agreement.  Because the proposal described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is considered “non-routine,” under the rules applicable to broker-dealers, if your broker holds your shares in its name, the broker will not be entitled to vote your shares if it has not received instructions from you.
 
Abstentions will count as shares present at the Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum.  If a quorum is not present at the Meeting or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the Agreement are not received, the person(s) presiding over the Meeting or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to allow for further solicitation of votes.  The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote in favor of such an adjournment, provided that they determine that such an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interest of shareholders based on a consideration of all relevant factors, including, among other things, the percentage of votes then cast, the percentage of negative votes then cast, the nature of the proposed solicitation activities, and the nature of the reasons for such further solicitation.
 
Vote Necessary to Approve the Agreement
 

 
The Board has unanimously approved the Agreement, subject to shareholder approval.  Shareholder approval of the Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the  Target Fund.
 
Abstentions are counted as present but are not considered votes cast at the Meeting.  Abstentions therefore will have the same effect as a vote against the Agreement because approval of the Agreement requires the affirmative vote of a percentage of either the shares present at the Meeting or the outstanding shares of the Target Fund.
 
Proxy Solicitation
 
The Target Fund has engaged the services of Computershare Fund Services (“Solicitor”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting.  Solicitor’s costs are described under the “Costs of the Reorganization” section of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  Proxies are expected to be solicited principally by mail, but the Target Fund or Solicitor may also solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, or personal interview.  The Target Fund’s officers may also solicit proxies but will not receive any additional or special compensation for any such solicitation.
 
Under the agreement with the Solicitor, the Solicitor will be paid a project management fee as well as telephone solicitation expenses incurred for reminder calls, outbound telephone voting, confirmation of telephone votes, inbound telephone contact, obtaining shareholders’ telephone numbers, and providing additional materials upon shareholder request.  The agreement also provides that the Solicitor shall be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.
 
Other Meeting Matters
 
Management is not aware of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than as is discussed in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  Under the Target Fund’s bylaws, business transacted at a special meeting such as this Meeting shall be limited to (i) the purpose stated in the notice and (ii) adjournment of the special meeting with regard to the stated purpose.  If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with their best judgment.

OTHER MATTERS
 
Capitalization
 
The following table sets forth as of October 31, 2011, for the Reorganization, the total net assets, number of shares outstanding, and net asset value per share of each class of each Fund.  This information is generally referred to as the “capitalization” of a Fund.  The term “pro forma capitalization” means the expected capitalization of the Acquiring Fund after it has combined with the corresponding Target Fund(s).  The pro forma capitalization column in the table assumes that the Reorganization has taken place.  The capitalizations of the Target Fund, the Acquiring Fund, and their classes are likely to be different on the Closing Date as a result of daily share purchase, redemption, and market activity.

Pro forma shares outstanding have been adjusted for the accumulated change in the number of shares of the Target Fund shareholder accounts based on the relative value of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund’s net asset value per share assuming the Reorganization would have taken place on October 31, 2011.

Dissenters’ Rights
 

 
26

 

If the Reorganization is approved at the Meeting, Target Fund shareholders will not have the right to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares because the exercise of dissenters’ rights is subject to the forward pricing requirements of Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act, which supersedes state law.  Shareholders of the Target Fund, however, have the right to redeem their shares at net asset value subject to applicable deferred sales charges and/or redemption fees (if any) until the Closing Date of the Reorganization. After the Reorganization, Target Fund shareholders will hold shares of the Acquiring Fund, which may also be redeemed at net asset value subject to applicable deferred sales charges and/or redemption fees (if any).
 
Shareholder Proposals
 
The Funds do not generally hold annual meetings of shareholders.  A shareholder desiring to submit a proposal intended to be presented at any meeting of shareholders of the Target Fund hereafter called should send the proposal to the Target Fund at the Target Fund’s principal offices so that it is received within a reasonable time before the proxy materials are printed and mailed.  If the proposed Reorganization is approved and completed for the Target Fund, shareholders of such Target Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund and, thereafter, will be subject to the notice requirements of the Acquiring Fund.  The mere submission of a proposal by a shareholder does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement because compliance with certain rules under the federal securities laws is required before inclusion of the proposal is required. Also, the submission does not mean that the proposal will be presented at a future meeting.  For a shareholder proposal to be considered at a future shareholder meeting, it must be a proper matter for consideration under applicable law.
 
WHERE TO FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
This Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the related SAI do not contain all the information set forth in the registration statements, the exhibits relating thereto, and the annual and semi-annual reports filed by the Funds as such documents have been filed with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, to which reference is hereby made.  The SEC file number of the registrant of each Fund’s registration statement, which contains the Fund’s prospectuses and related SAIs, is 811-05426.
 
Each Fund is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act and in accordance therewith, each Fund files reports and other information with the SEC.  Reports, proxy material, registration statements, and other information filed (including the Registration Statement relating to the Funds on Form N-14 of which this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is a part) may be inspected without charge and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at Room 1580, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549-1520.  Copies of such material may also be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549-1520, at the prescribed rates.  The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains information regarding the Funds and other registrants that file electronically with the SEC.

FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
 
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
 
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is adopted as of this ___ day of __________, 2011 by and among (i) each of the Invesco open-end registered investment companies identified as a Target Entity on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Target Entity”) separately, on behalf of its respective series identified on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Target Fund”); (ii) each of the Invesco open-end registered investment companies identified as an Acquiring Entity on Exhibit A hereto (each an “Acquiring Entity”), separately on behalf of its respective series identified on Exhibit A hereto (each an “Acquiring Fund”); and (iii) Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“IAI”).
 
WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend for each Acquiring Fund and its corresponding Target Fund (as set forth in Exhibit A hereto) to enter into a transaction pursuant to which: (i) the Acquiring Fund will acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of the Target Fund in exchange for the corresponding class or classes of shares (as applicable) of the Acquiring Fund identified on Exhibit A of equal value to the net assets of the Target Fund being acquired, and (ii) the Target Fund will distribute such shares of the Acquiring Fund to shareholders of the corresponding class of the Target Fund, in connection with the liquidation of the Target Fund, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement (each such transaction, a “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”);
 
WHEREAS, each Target Entity and each Acquiring Entity is an open-end, registered investment company of the management type; and
 
WHEREAS, this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization with respect to each Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
 
1.  
DESCRIPTION OF THE REORGANIZATIONS
 
1.1. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Reorganization described herein shall be conducted separately from the others, and a party that is not a party to a Reorganization shall incur no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Reorganization by reason of being a party to this Agreement.  If any one or more Reorganizations should fail to be consummated, such failure shall not affect the other Reorganizations in any way.
 
1.2. Provided that all conditions precedent to a Reorganization set forth herein have been satisfied as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.1), and based on the representations and warranties each party provides to the others, each Target Entity and its corresponding Acquiring Entity agree to take the following steps with respect to their Reorganization(s), the parties to which and classes of shares to be issued in connection with which are set forth in Exhibit A:
 
 
 
D-1

 
 
(a) The Target Fund shall transfer all of its Assets, as defined and set forth in Section 1.2(b), to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund in exchange therefor shall assume the Liabilities, as defined and set forth in Section 1.2(c), and deliver to the Target Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund shares determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.
 
(b) The assets of the Target Fund to be transferred to the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets, property, and goodwill including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities and futures interests, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued and including, without limitation, any interest in pending or future legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries) and dividends or interest receivable that are owned by the Target Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target Fund on the Closing Date, except for cash, bank deposits or cash equivalent securities in an amount necessary to pay the estimated costs of extinguishing any Excluded Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.2(c)) and cash in an amount necessary to pay any distributions pursuant to Section 7.1(f) (collectively, “Assets”).
 
(c) The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the Target Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Closing Date, except for the Target Fund’s Excluded Liabilities (as defined below), if any, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, with respect to each Target Fund separately, “Liabilities”).  If prior to the Closing Date the Acquiring Entity identifies a liability that the Acquiring Entity and the Target Entity mutually agree should not be assumed by the Acquiring Fund, such liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Acquiring Entity and the Target Entity at Closing and attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.2(c) (the “Excluded Liabilities”).  The Assets minus the Liabilities of a Target Fund shall be referred to herein as the Target Fund’s “Net Assets.”
 
(d) As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Target Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record (“Target Fund Shareholders”) the shares of the Acquiring Fund of the corresponding class received by the Target Fund pursuant to Section 1.2(a), as set forth in Exhibit A, on a pro rata basis within that class, and the Target Fund will as promptly as practicable completely liquidate and dissolve.  Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each class of the Target Fund’s shares, by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund shares of the corresponding class then credited to the account of the Target Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Target Fund Shareholders of the class.  The aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund shares to be so credited to the corresponding Target Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the corresponding Target Fund’s shares owned by the Target Fund Shareholders on the Valuation Date.  At the Closing, any outstanding certificates representing shares of a Target Fund will be cancelled.  The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing shares in connection with such exchange, irrespective of whether Target Fund shareholders hold their Target Fund shares in certificated form.
 
 
 
D-2

 
 
(e) Ownership of Acquiring Fund shares will be shown on its books, as such are maintained by the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent.
 
2.  
VALUATION
 
2.1. With respect to each Reorganization:
 
(a) The value of the Target Fund’s Assets shall be the value of such Assets computed as of immediately after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which shall reflect the declaration of any dividends, on the business day next preceding the Closing Date (the “Valuation Date”), using the Target Fund’s valuation procedures established by the Target Entity’s Board of Trustees.
 
(b) The net asset value per share of each class of the Acquiring Fund shares issued in connection with the Reorganization shall be the net asset value per share of the corresponding class of each class computed on the Valuation Date using the Acquiring Fund’s valuation procedures established by the Acquiring Entity’s Board of Trustees, which are the same as the Target Fund’s valuation procedures.
 
(c) The number of shares issued of each class of the Acquiring Fund (including fractional shares, if any, rounded to the nearest thousandth) in exchange for the Target Fund’s Net Assets shall be determined by dividing the value of the Net Assets of the Target Fund attributable to each class of Target Fund shares by the net asset value per share of the corresponding share class of the Acquiring Fund.
 
(d) All computations of value shall be made by the Target Fund’s and the Acquiring Fund’s designated recordkeeping agent using the valuation procedures described in this Section 2.
 
3.  
CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE
 
3.1. Each Reorganization shall close on the date identified on Exhibit A or such other date as the parties may agree with respect to any or all Reorganizations (the “Closing Date”).  All acts taking place at the closing of a Reorganization (the “Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately prior to the opening of regular trading on the NYSE on the Closing Date of that Reorganization unless otherwise agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Time”).
 
3.2. With respect to each Reorganization:
 
(a) The Target Fund’s portfolio securities, investments or other assets that are represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be transferred and delivered by the Target Fund as of the Closing Date to the Acquiring Fund’s Custodian for the account of the Acquiring Fund, duly endorsed in proper form for transfer and in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof.  The Target Fund shall direct the Target Fund’s custodian (the “Target Custodian”) to deliver to the Acquiring Fund’s Custodian as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of Target Custodian and any securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), in which the Assets are deposited, the Target Fund’s portfolio securities and instruments so held.  The cash to be transferred by a Target Fund shall be delivered to the Acquiring Fund’s Custodian by wire transfer of federal funds or other appropriate means on the Closing Date.
 
 
 
D-3

 
 
(b) The Target Entity shall direct the Target Custodian for each Target Fund to deliver, at the Closing or promptly thereafter, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) except as permitted by Section 3.2(a), the Assets have been delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Fund no later than the Closing Time on the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including all applicable Federal, state and foreign stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made.
 
(c) At such time prior to the Closing Date as the parties mutually agree, the Target Fund shall provide (i) instructions and related information to the Acquiring Fund or its transfer agent with respect to the Target Fund Shareholders, including names, addresses, dividend reinvestment elections and tax withholding status of the Target Fund Shareholders as of the date agreed upon (such information to be updated as of the Closing Date, as necessary) and (ii) the information and documentation maintained by the Target Fund or its agents relating to the identification and verification of the Target Fund Shareholders under the USA PATRIOT ACT and other applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations and such other information as the Acquiring Fund may reasonably request.  The Acquiring Fund and its transfer agent shall have no obligation to inquire as to the validity, propriety or correctness of any such instruction, information or documentation, but shall, in each case, assume that such instruction, information or documentation is valid, proper, correct and complete.
 
(d) The Target Entity shall direct each applicable transfer agent for a Target Fund (the “Target Transfer Agent”) to deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records, as provided to the Acquiring Entity, contain the names and addresses of the Target Fund Shareholders and the number of outstanding shares of each class owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver to the Secretary of the Target Fund a confirmation evidencing the Acquiring Fund shares to be credited on the Closing Date, or provide other evidence satisfactory to the Target Entity that such Acquiring Fund shares have been credited to the Target Fund Shareholders’ accounts on the books of the Acquiring Fund.  At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.
 
(e) In the event that on the Valuation Date or the Closing Date (a) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Target Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of the Acquiring Entity or the Target Entity or the authorized officers of either of such entities, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquiring Fund or the Target Fund, respectively, is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.
 
 
 
D-4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
4.1. Each Target Entity, on behalf of itself or, where applicable, a Target Fund, represents and warrants to the Acquiring Entity and its corresponding Acquiring Fund as follows:
 
(a) The Target Fund is duly organized as a series of the Target Entity, which is a statutory trust duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with power under its Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended, and by-laws (“Governing Documents”), to own all of its Assets, to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder;
 
(b) The Target Entity is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of the shares of the Target Fund under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), are in full force and effect;
 
(c) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) is required for the consummation by the Target Fund and the Target Entity of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as have been obtained or will be obtained at or prior to the Closing Date under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), the 1940 Act and state securities laws;
 
(d) The current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Target Fund and each prospectus and statement of additional information of the Target Fund used at all times between the commencement of operations of the Target Fund and the date of this Agreement conforms or conformed at the time of its use in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not or did not at the time of its use include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading;
 
(e) The Target Fund is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable investment policies and restrictions set forth in the Target Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information;
 
(f) Except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted by or on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund will on the Closing Date have good title to the Assets and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such Assets free of adverse claims, including any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for such Assets, the Acquiring Fund will acquire good title thereto, free of adverse claims and subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, including, without limitation, such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act, provided that the Acquiring Fund will acquire Assets that are segregated as collateral for the Target Fund’s derivative positions, including without limitation, as collateral for swap positions and as margin for futures positions, subject to such segregation and liens that apply to such Assets;
 
 
 
D-5

 
 
(g) The financial statements of the Target Fund for the Target Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm identified in the Target Fund’s prospectus or statement of additional information included in the Target Fund’s registration statement on Form N-1A (the “Prospectus” and “Statement of Additional Information”).  Such statements, as well as the unaudited, semi-annual financial statements for the semi-annual period next succeeding the Target Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, if any, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) consistently applied, and such statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Target Fund as of such date in accordance with GAAP, and there are no known contingent liabilities of the Target Fund required to be reflected on a balance sheet (including the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP as of such date not disclosed therein;
 
(h) Since the last day of the Target Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year, there has not been any material adverse change in the Target Fund’s financial condition, assets, liabilities or business, other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business;
 
(i) On the Closing Date, all material Returns (as defined below) of the Target Fund required by law to have been filed by such date (including any extensions) shall have been filed and are or will be true, correct and complete in all material respects, and all Taxes (as defined below) shown as due or claimed to be due by any government entity shall have been paid or provision has been made for the payment thereof.  To the Target Fund’s knowledge, no such Return is currently under audit by any Federal, state, local or foreign Tax authority; no assessment has been asserted with respect to such Returns; there are no levies, liens or other encumbrances on the Target Fund or its assets resulting from the non-payment of any Taxes; no waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are outstanding nor are any written requests for such waivers pending; and adequate provision has been made in the Target Fund financial statements for all Taxes in respect of all periods ended on or before the date of such financial statements.  As used in this Agreement, “Tax” or “Taxes” means (i) any tax, governmental fee or other like assessment or charge of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, withholding on amounts paid to or by any person), together with any interest, penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed by any governmental authority (domestic or foreign) responsible for the imposition of any such tax.  “Return” means reports, returns, information returns, elections, agreements, declarations, or other documents of any nature or kind (including any attached schedules, supplements and additional or supporting material) filed or required to be filed with respect to Taxes, including any claim for refund, amended return or declaration of estimated Taxes (and including any amendments with respect thereto);
 
 
 
D-6

Pro Forma Financial Information

Pro Forma Financial Information
Invesco Commodities Strategy Fund into Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
 
 
The unaudited pro forma financial information set forth below is for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the financial condition that actually would have resulted if the Reorganization had been consummated.  These pro forma numbers have been estimated in good faith based on information regarding the Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund, each as identified below, for the eleven month period ended October 31, 2011.  The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund, which are available in their respective annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.

Narrative Description of the Pro Forma Effects of the Reorganization
 
 
Note 1 - Reorganization

The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared to give effect to the proposed reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") as of the beginning of the period as indicated below in the table.

 Target Fund
Acquiring Fund
11 Month Period Ended
Invesco Commodities Strategy Fund
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
October 31, 2011

Basis of Pro Forma

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization of investment companies; therefore, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund or its shareholders as a result of the Reorganization.  The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund are both series of a registered open-end management investment company that issues its shares in separate series. The Reorganization would be accomplished by the acquisition of all of the assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the distribution of such shares to Target Fund shareholders in complete liquidation of the Target Fund.  The table below shows the class and shares that Target Fund shareholders would have received if the Reorganization were to have taken place on the period ended date in Note 1.


 Target Fund Share Class
Shares Exchanged
Acquiring Fund Share Class

 486,604
Class Y
Institutional Class

Institutional Class

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity, the Acquiring Fund, and the results of operations of the Acquiring Fund for pre-reorganization periods will not be restated.  All securities held by the Target Fund comply with investment objectives, strategies and restrictions of the Acquiring Fund at period ended date in Note 1.
 
 

 
 

 

Note 2 -- Net Assets

The table below shows the net assets of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund and Pro Forma combined net assets as of the dates indicated.

Note 3 – Pro Forma Adjustments

The table below reflects adjustments to expenses needed to the pro forma combined Fund as if the Reorganization had taken place on the first day of the period as disclosed in Note 1.  The pro forma information has been derived from the books and records used in calculating daily net asset values of the Target Fund and Acquiring Fund and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect this information.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Expense Category
Increase (decrease) in expense
Advisory fees (1)
$  546,295
Administrative services fees (2)
     5,078
Distribution fees (3)
   11,183
Professional fees (4)
   (39,259)
Reports to Shareholders fees (5)
     (7,700)
Trustees' and officers fees and benefits (6)
     (3,300)
Fee waiver and/or expense reimbursements (1)
  (871,912)

 
(1)  Under the terms of the investment advisory contract of the Acquiring Fund, the advisory fees have been adjusted to reflect the advisory fee rates in effect for the Acquiring Fund based on pro forma combined net assets.  Correspondingly, advisory fee waivers have been adjusted to reflect the contractual agreement by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"), to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses through at least June 30, 2014 as part of the contractual expense limitation agreement of the Acquiring Fund.  The Adviser has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2014, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares to 1.22%, 1.97%, 1.97%, 1.47%, 0.97% and [0.78%] of average daily net assets, respectively.  In determining the Adviser's obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement.  Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2014.
 
 
(2)  Administrative services fees were adjusted to reflect the fee rates for the combined assets pursuant to the master administrative services agreement for the Acquiring Fund.
 
 
(3)  Under the terms of the master distribution agreement of the Acquiring Fund, distribution fees have been adjusted to reflect the contractual rates of the Acquiring Fund’s Class C shares.
 
 
(4)  Professional fees were reduced to eliminate the effects of duplicative fees for audit and legal services.
 
(5)  Reports to shareholders fees were reduced to adjust for the duplicative fixed costs of production and typesetting costs.
 
 
(6)  Trustees' and officer's fees and benefits were reduced to eliminate the effects of duplicative fixed costs of retainer and meeting fees.
 
No significant accounting policies will change as a result of the Reorganization, specifically policies regarding security valuation or compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
 
Note 4 – Reorganization Costs

The Target Fund is expected to incur an estimated $110,000 in Reorganization costs.  These costs  represent the estimated non recurring expense of the Target Fund carrying out its obligations under the Plan and consist of management’s estimate of professional services fees, printing costs and mailing charges related to the proposed Reorganization.  Invesco will bear 100% of these costs for the Target Fund.  The Acquiring Fund is expected to incur approximately $30,000 of expenses in connection with the Reorganization and will bear 100% of these costs and expenses.  The pro forma financial information has not been adjusted for any costs related to the Reorganization.

Note 5 - Accounting Survivor

The Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor.  The surviving fund will have the portfolio management team, portfolio composition strategies, investment objective, expense structure, and policies/ restrictions of the Acquiring Fund.
 
 
Note 6 - Capital Loss Carryforward

At July 31, 2011 the Target Fund had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $10,583,100.  For additional information regarding capital loss limitations, please see the section entitled Federal Income Tax Consequences in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed on Form N-14 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15.                      Indemnification

Indemnification provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VIII of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article VIII of its Amended and Restated Bylaws, and are hereby incorporated by reference.  See Item 28(a) and (b) above.  Under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, effective as of September 14, 2005, as amended, (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust act, the Registrant’s Bylaws and other applicable law; (iii) in case any shareholder or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled, out of the assets belonging to the applicable portfolio (or allocable to the applicable class), to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law.  The Registrant, on behalf of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any such claim made against the shareholder for any act or obligation of that portfolio (or class).
 
The Registrant and other investment companies and their respective officers and trustees are insured under a joint Mutual Fund Directors and Officers Liability Policy, issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company and certain other domestic issuers, with a $80,000,000 limit of liability (plus an additional $20,000,000 limit that applies to independent directors/trustees only).
 
Section 16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco Advisers”) provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Invesco Advisers or any of its officers, directors or employees, that Invesco Advisers shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.  Any liability of Invesco Advisers to any series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart liability on the part of Invesco Advisers to any other series of the Registrant.  No series of the Registrant shall be liable for the obligations of any other series of the Registrant.

 

 
 

 


 
Section 9 of the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the “Sub-Advisory Contract”) between Invesco Advisers, on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Ltd., Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each a “Sub-Adviser”, collectively the “Sub-Advisers”) provides that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by any series of the Registrant or the Registrant in connection with the matters to which the Sub-Advisory Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance by the Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory Contract.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any action suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, such indemnification by it is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.

Re:
Registration Statement on Form N-14

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (“AIF”), a Delaware statutory trust, in connection with the preparation and filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form N-14 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”).  Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of AIF, will assume the assets and liabilities of Invesco Commodities Strategy Fund (the “Target Fund”), also a series of AIF, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund, as set forth on Exhibit A (the “Reorganization”).

We have reviewed the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Amended and Restated By-Laws of AIF, in each case as amended to the date hereof, resolutions adopted by AIF in connection with the Reorganization, the form of Agreement, which has been approved by AIF’s Board of Trustees, the Registration Statement and such other legal and factual matters as we have deemed appropriate.

This opinion is based exclusively on the provisions of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act governing the issuance of the shares of AIF and the reported case law thereunder, and does not extend to the securities or “blue sky” laws of the State of Delaware or other States.

We have assumed the following for purposes of this opinion:

1.           The shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in accordance with AIF’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) and Amended and Restated By-Laws, each as amended to date, the Agreement, and resolutions of AIF’s Board of Trustees relating to the creation, authorization and issuance of shares and the Reorganization.

2.           The shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued against payment therefor as described in the Agreement, and such payment will be at least equal to the net asset value of such shares.

3.           The Agreement, substantially in the form reviewed by us, will be executed and delivered.




 
 

 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued to the Target Fund shareholders as provided by the Agreement are duly authorized, and upon delivery will be validly issued and outstanding, and will be fully paid and non-assessable by AIF.

Both the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, as amended, and the Trust Agreement provide that shareholders of AIF shall be entitled to the same limitation on personal liability as is extended under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, to stockholders of private corporations for profit.  There is a remote possibility, however, that, under certain circumstances, shareholders of a Delaware statutory trust may be held personally liable for that trust’s obligations to the extent that the courts of another state that does not recognize such limited liability were to apply the laws of such state to a controversy involving such obligations.  The Trust Agreement also provides for indemnification out of property of the Acquiring Fund for all loss and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of such Fund.  Therefore, the risk of any shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment due to shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Acquiring Fund is unable to meet its obligations and the express limitation of shareholder liabilities is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be effective.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.



Sincerely yours,
 
STRADLEY RONON STEVENS & YOUNG, LLP

POWER OF ATTORNEY

The undersigned trustee of Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), a series of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), a Delaware statutory trust (the "Registrant"), hereby appoints PHILIP A. TAYLOR and JOHN M. ZERR (with full power to each of them to act alone) his/her attorney-in-fact and agent, in all capacities, to execute, deliver and file in the names of the undersigned, any and all instruments that said attorneys and agents may deem necessary or advisable to enable the Registrant to comply with or register any security issued by the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations and interpretations thereunder, with respect to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form N-14 with respect to the proposed reorganization of Invesco Commodities Strategy Fund, a series of the Registrant, with and into the Fund, including any and all pre- and post-effective amendments thereto, any other document to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any and all documents required to be filed with respect thereto with any other regulatory authority.  The undersigned grants to each of said attorneys full authority to do every act necessary to be done in order to effectuate the same as fully, to all intents and purposes, as he/she could do if personally present, thereby ratifying all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

           This Power of Attorney may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall be deemed to be a single document.

CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL:

Your Power of Attorney is an important document.  As the “principal,” you give the person whom you choose (your “agent”) authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you.  You do not lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority.

When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest.  “Important Information for the Agent” at the end of this document describes your agent’s responsibilities.

Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.

You can request information from your agent at any time.  If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are located.

You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind.  If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.

Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you.  You may execute a “Health Care Proxy” to do this.

The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15.  This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites, www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us.

If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

The undersigned trustee hereby executes this Power of Attorney as of the 30th day of November, 2011.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT:
 
When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special legal relationship is created between you and the principal.  This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked.  You must:
 
 
(1)
act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in the principal’s best interest;
 
 
(2)
avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal’s best interest;
 
 
(3)
keep the principal’s property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;
 
 
(4)
keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted for the principal; and
 
 
(5)
disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing the principal’s name and signing your own name as “agent” in either of the following manner:  (Principal’s Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for (Principal’s Name).
 
You may not use the principal’s assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney.  If you have that authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such instructions, in the principal’s best interest.
 
You may resign by giving written notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or the principal’s guardian if one has been appointed.
 
If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.
 
LIABILITY OF AGENT:
 
The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York’s General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15.  If it is found that you have violated the law or acted outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for your violation.
 
 
AGENTS’ SIGNATURE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF APPOINTMENT:
 
We, PHILIP A. TAYLOR and JOHN M. ZERR, have read the foregoing Power of Attorney.  We are the persons identified therein as agents for the principal named therein.
 
We acknowledge our legal responsibilities.
