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 10% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests mainly in common stock of U.S. and foreign companies. The Fund can invest without limit in foreign securities and can invest in any country, including countries with emerging markets (i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles). However, the Fund currently emphasizes its investments in the United States and other developed markets in Europe. The Fund does not limit its investments to
companies in a particular capitalization range, but primarily invests in mid- and large-cap companies.
The Fund normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States). Typically, the Fund invests in a number of different countries. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries.
In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in preferred stocks. The Fund may purchase American Depositary Shares (ADS) as part of American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuances, which are negotiable certificates issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares in a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.
The portfolio manager primarily looks for quality companies, regardless of domicile, that have sustainable growth. This investment approach combines a thematic approach to idea generation with bottom-up, fundamental company analysis. The portfolio manager seeks to identify secular changes in the world and looks for pockets of durable change that he believes will drive global growth for the next decade. These large scale structural themes are referred to collectively as MANTRA®: Mass Affluence, New Technology, Restructuring, and Aging. The portfolio manager does not target a fixed allocation with regard to any particular theme, and may choose to focus on various sub-themes within each theme. Within each sub-theme, the portfolio manager employs fundamental company analysis to select investments for the Fund’s portfolio. The economic characteristics sought include a combination of high return on invested capital, good cash flow characteristics, high barriers to entry, dominant market share, a strong competitive position, talented management, and balance sheet strength that the portfolio manager believes will enable the company to fund its own growth. These criteria may vary. The portfolio manager also considers how industry dynamics, market trends and general economic conditions may affect a company’s earnings outlook.
The portfolio manager has a long-term investment horizon of typically three to five years. The portfolio manager also has a contrarian buy discipline; he buys high quality companies that fit the investment criteria when he believes valuations underestimate long-term earnings potential. For example, a company’s stock price may dislocate from its fundamental outlook due to a short-term earnings glitch or negative, short-term market sentiment, which can give rise to an investment opportunity. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in earnings potential or other effects of changing market conditions that may trigger a decision to sell a security, but do 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 Global 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 and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund. 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.
