Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that are incurred, directly or indirectly, when a variable product owner buys, holds, or redeems interest in an insurance company separate account that invests in the Series I shares or Series II shares of the Fund but does not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with your variable product, and if it did, expenses would be higher.

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) has contractually agreed 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 below) of Series I and Series II shares to 1.00% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 numbers reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2026. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example does not represent the effect of any fees or expenses assessed in connection with your variable product, and if it did, expenses would be higher.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of issuers that are domiciled or that have their primary operations in at least three different countries outside of the United States. The Fund may invest 100% of its total assets in securities of foreign companies. The Fund mainly invests in the common stock of “growth companies,” which are companies considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in emerging markets (i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles). The Fund considers an issuer to be located in an emerging market if it is organized under the laws of an emerging country; its principal securities trading market is in an emerging market; at least 50% of the issuer’s non-current assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit is derived from assets or activities located in emerging markets (directly or indirectly); or its “country of risk” is located in an emerging market as determined by a third party service provider. From time to time, the Fund may place greater emphasis on investing in one or more particular countries, or regions, such as Asia or Europe.
The Fund does not limit its investments to issuers within a specific market capitalization range and at times may invest a substantial portion of its assets in one or more particular capitalization ranges. The Fund can also buy preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and other securities having equity features.
The Fund’s portfolio managers look primarily for high growth potential using a “bottom up” investment approach on a company-by-company basis. That approach looks at the investment performance of individual stocks before considering the impact of general or industry specific economic trends. It includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s operations, product development, and industry position.
The portfolio managers currently focus on the following factors, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time:
■ 
companies that the portfolio managers believe have a strong competitive position and high demand for their products or services;
■ 
companies with accelerating earnings growth and cash flow; and
■ 
diversity among companies, industries and countries to help reduce the risks of foreign investing, such as currency fluctuations and stock market volatility.
The portfolio managers also consider the effects of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and look for companies that may benefit from those trends. The trends currently considered include: mass affluence, new technologies, restructuring and aging. The portfolio managers do not invest any fixed amount of the Fund’s assets according to these criteria and the trends that are considered may change over time. The portfolio managers monitor individual issuers for changes in the factors
above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the performance of the Oppenheimer International Growth Fund/VA (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Series I shares of the Fund and the Non-Service Shares of the predecessor fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance. The bar chart and performance table below do not reflect charges assessed in connection with your variable product; if they did, the performance shown would be lower. The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the Non-Service Shares and Service Shares of the predecessor fund, and are not offered by the Fund. The Non-Service Shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Series I shares of the Fund and the Service Shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into the Series II shares of the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. Series I shares’ and Series II shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the Non-Service Shares’ and the Service Shares’ returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements. Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
All Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.
The Series I shares and Series II shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and will have substantially similar performance, except to the extent that the expenses borne by each share class differ. Series II shares have higher expenses (and therefore lower performance) resulting from its Rule 12b-1 plan, which provides for a maximum fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% (expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets of the Fund).
Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.
