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.

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 the same.
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 39% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund deems an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if (i) its principal securities trading market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) it (alone or through its consolidated subsidiaries) derives 50% or more of its annual
revenue from goods produced, sales made or services performed in the U.S.; (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in the U.S; or (iv) its “country of risk” is the U.S. as determined by a third party service provider.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its net assets in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock. The Fund considers a mid-capitalization issuer to be one that has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of market capitalizations of the issuers included in the Russell Midcap® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. A company’s “market capitalization” is the value of its outstanding stock. The Fund also may invest in larger companies.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs).
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and depositary receipts.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and options.
The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to seek exposure to certain asset classes.
The Fund can use options to seek investment return or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing and the portfolio managers seek to invest in undervalued companies they believe possess the potential for capital growth. In selecting securities, the portfolio managers emphasize the following characteristics, although not all investments will have these attributes:
■ 
Buy businesses trading at a significant discount to the portfolio managers’ estimate of intrinsic value. The portfolio managers believe intrinsic value represents the fair economic worth of the business.
■ 
Emphasize quality businesses with potential to grow intrinsic value over time. The portfolio managers primarily seek issuers that they believe have solid growth prospects, the ability to earn an attractive return on invested capital and a management team that exhibits intelligent capital allocation skills.
The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if a more attractive investment opportunity is identified, if a security is trading near or above the portfolio managers’ estimate of intrinsic value or if there is a fundamental deterioration in business prospects that results in inadequate upside potential to estimated intrinsic value.
The portfolio managers seek to achieve strong long-term performance by constructing a diversified portfolio that they believe offers value content greater than the broad market, as measured by the portfolio’s aggregate discount to the portfolio managers’ estimated intrinsic value of the portfolio. The investment process is fundamental in nature and focused on individual issuers as opposed to macroeconomic forecasts or specific industry exposure. The portfolio construction process is intended to preserve and grow the estimated intrinsic value of the Fund’s portfolio rather than mirror the composition or sector weights of any benchmark.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Series I shares of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a style-specific benchmark and a broad-based securities market benchmark (in that order). 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 its future performance.
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.
