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:

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, Government Securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by cash or Government Securities. In addition, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested, under normal circumstances, in Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by Government Securities. In contrast to the Fund’s 99.5% policy, the Fund’s 80% policy does not include cash or repurchase agreements collateralized by cash. Government Security generally means any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government or certain of its agencies or instrumentalities; or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing.

The Fund will limit investments to those securities that are Eligible Securities as defined by applicable regulations at the time of purchase.

The Fund is a Government Money Market Fund, as defined by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Rule 2a-7), that seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund invests in conformity with SEC rules and regulations requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity, diversification and liquidity of investments. The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities maturing within 397 calendar days of the date of purchase, with certain exceptions permitted by applicable regulations. The Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average life maturity of no more than 60 calendar days, and a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity as determined without exceptions regarding certain interest rate adjustments under Rule 2a-7 of no more than 120 calendar days. Each investment must be determined to present minimal credit risks by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) pursuant to guidelines approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), and must be an Eligible Security.

In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus on securities that offer safety, liquidity, and a competitive yield. The Adviser conducts a credit analysis of each potential issuer prior to the purchase of its securities.

The portfolio managers normally hold portfolio securities to maturity, but may sell a particular security when they deem it advisable, such as when market or credit factors materially change.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

Debt Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.

Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.

Money Market Fund Risk. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not rely on or expect that the sponsor will enter into support agreements or take other actions to provide financial support to the Fund or maintain the Fund’s $1.00 share price at any time. The credit quality of the Fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s share price. The Fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets, and/or significant market volatility. While the Board of Trustees may implement procedures to impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares in the future if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors, the Board has not elected to do so at this time. Should the Board elect to do so, such change would only become effective after shareholders were provided with specific advance notice of the change in the Fund’s policy and provided with the opportunity to redeem their shares in accordance with Rule 2a-7 before the policy change became effective.

Repurchase Agreement Risk. If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults or otherwise does not fulfill its obligations, the Fund may incur delays and losses arising from selling the underlying securities, enforcing its rights, or declining collateral value.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.

Yield Risk. The Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities. When interest rates are very low, the Fund’s expenses could absorb all or a portion of the Fund’s income and yield. Additionally, inflation may outpace and diminish investment returns over time.
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 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 past performance is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.

All performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

Effective April 29, 2016, the Fund changed its investment strategy from a prime money market strategy to a strategy that classified the Fund as a “government money market fund,” as defined by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, and simultaneously changed its name to Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund. Performance shown prior to that date reflects the Fund’s former prime money market strategy, which permitted investments in certain types of securities that as a government money market fund, the Fund is no longer permitted to hold. Consequently, the performance information below would have been different if the current investment limitations had been in effect during the period prior to the Fund’s conversion to a government money market fund.

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).
