Letters to Shareholders

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside, your Fund’s portfolio managers discuss how they managed your Fund and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. I hope you find this report of interest. During the reporting period covered by this report, the US economy showed signs of continued improvement. After contracting in the first quarter of 2014, the economy expanded strongly in the second quarter and unemployment trended lower. Much of the credit for this improvement goes to the US Federal Reserve (the Fed), which undertook an extraordinary asset purchase program following the global financial crisis. The Fed’s goal was to jumpstart the economy by encouraging banks to lend more, businesses to hire more and consumers to spend more. Signs of a stronger US economy prompted the Fed to reduce, or |
“taper,” its asset purchase program. Despite this, interest rates remained near historical low levels due largely to heavy investor demand for bonds. While signs of economic improvement were evident in the US, European economies remained relatively stagnant. During the reporting period, high unemployment persisted, worries about potential deflation grew, and uncertainty about Russian-Ukrainian tensions weighed on European markets.
Extended periods of market strength can lull investors into complacency – just as prolonged periods of market weakness or volatility can discourage investors from initiating long-term investment plans. That’s why Invesco has always encouraged investors to work with a professional financial adviser who can stress the importance of starting to save and invest early and the importance of adhering to a disciplined investment plan – when times are good and when they’re uncertain. A financial adviser who knows your unique financial situation, investment goals and risk tolerance can be an invaluable partner as you seek to achieve your financial goals. He or she can offer a long-term perspective when markets are volatile and time-tested advice and guidance when your financial situation or investment goals change.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: There are a variety of factors that can impact investment performance, many of which are uncontrollable by us as investors. These factors can include various economic trends and geopolitical developments. While the members of the Invesco Funds Board, which I chair, can’t dictate the performance of the Invesco funds, be assured that your Board works diligently throughout the year to focus on how your investments are managed. Our job is to represent you and your interests on a variety of fund management-related matters. We regularly monitor how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of ever-changing and often unpredictable economic and market conditions. We review the investment strategies and investment process employed by each fund’s management team as explained in the fund’s prospectus. Perhaps our most significant responsibility is conducting the annual review of the funds’ |
advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This annual review, which is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information from Invesco that allows us to evaluate the quality of its services and the reasonableness of its fees. We also use information from a variety of independent sources, including materials provided by the independent senior officer of the Invesco funds, who reports directly to the independent trustees on the Board. Additionally, we meet with legal counsel and review performance and fee data prepared for us by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field.
After a careful review, the members of the Invesco Funds Board approved the continuation of advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. Be assured that your Board will continue working on behalf of fund shareholders, keeping your needs and interests uppermost in our minds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
Invesco Conservative Income Fund incepted on July 1, 2014. For the two-month reporting period ended August 31, 2014, the Fund, at net asset value (NAV), outperformed the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the Fund’s broad market/style-specific index.
Additional Fund performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
The Fund seeks to provide capital preservation and current income while maintaining liquidity. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of short duration, investment-grade money market and fixed income securities, including securities issued by the US government or its agencies; certificates of deposit and time deposits from US and foreign banks; repurchase agreements; commercial paper; municipal securities; domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations; mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities; sovereign debt and obligations of supranational entities; and money market funds. Fixed income securities may include instruments with a fixed or floating rate of interest. The Fund will invest more than 25% of its net assets in the financial services sector. The Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted
average portfolio duration of less than one year.
In managing the Fund, we look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the Fund to try to achieve its objectives. Decisions to purchase or sell securities are primarily determined by relative value considerations along with economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may also be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s risk exposures (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or the general liquidity needs of the Fund. In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
Please see the Fund’s prospectus for more information about the Fund’s investment objectives, principal strategies and risks.
Market conditions and your Fund
The Fund’s inception was July 1, 2014. For the two-month reporting period, and at net asset value, the Fund generated a positive return in absolute terms, outperforming its broad market/style-specific benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index.
Upon the Fund’s inception, the portfolio management team fully invested the Fund’s assets in income-generating money market and fixed income securities and then proceeded to invest in additional securities to seek to achieve the Fund’s objective. In conjunction with the Fund’s stated objective, the portfolio management team focused on low duration money market securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities.
During the reporting period, the US Federal Reserve maintained its highly accommodative monetary policy by keeping the target range for the federal funds rate between zero and 0.25%1 while reducing, or “tapering,” its asset purchases that began in September 2012.
In July and August, US Treasury bills traded in a low and very narrow range while credit spreads were near cycle lows. For example, the 12-month US Treasury bill traded in a narrow range of 0.079% to 0.115% while three-month US Treasury bills struggled to trade above 0.03%.2

n | | US government obligations risk. The Fund may invest in obligations issued by US 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. |
n | | When-issued and delayed delivery risk. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on securities when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the other party to complete the transaction may result in the Fund missing the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. |
n | | 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. Additionally, inflation may outpace and diminish investment returns over time. |
n | | Zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities risk. The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. |
About indexes used in this report
n | | The Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures total return on cash, including price and interest income, based on short term government Treasury bills. |
n | | The Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index is designed to measure the performance of the short-term US corporate bond market. |
n | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
n | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
n | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
n | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current historically low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates at or near zero. There is a risk that interest rates will rise when the FRB and central banks raise these rates. This risk is heightened due to the potential “tapering” of the FRB’s quantitative easing program and other similar foreign central bank actions. This tapering and eventual increase in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal share- |
| holder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
n | | Collateralized loan obligations risk. In addition to the normal interest rate, default and other risk of fixed income securities, collateralized loan obligations carry additional risks, including the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, the Fund may invest in collateralized loan obligations that are subordinate to other classes, values may be volatile, and disputes with the issuer may produce unexpected investment results. |
n | | 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. |
n | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counter-party risk is the risk that the counter-party to the derivative contract will |
| default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
n | | Emerging markets securities risk. The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in emerging markets countries may be |

| affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries. |
n | | Financial services sector risk. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the financial services sector. To the extent the Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the financial services sector, the Fund’s performance will depend on the overall condition of that industry. Banking and financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. |
n | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt obligations involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
n | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies. |
n | | 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. |
n | | 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. |
n | | Management risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. |
n | | 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. |
n | | Money market funds risk. The Fund may lose money by investing in money market funds, which seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, because the share price of a money market fund can fall below the $1.00 share price. The credit quality of a money market fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund’s share price. A money market fund’s share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. Furthermore, additional government regulation, including by the SEC, could impact the way a money market fund is managed, possibly negatively impacting its return. |
n | | Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. The Fund may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less |

| than the original purchase value. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund. |
n | | Municipal securities risk. The Fund may invest in municipal securities. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell it. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities. |
n | | Prepayment risk. An issuer’s ability to prepay principal on a loan or debt security prior to maturity can limit the Fund’s potential gains. Prepayments may require the Fund to replace the loan or debt security with a lower yielding security, adversely affecting the Fund’s yield. |
n | | Reinvestment risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond. |
n | | 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. These risks are magnified to the extent that a repurchase agreement is secured by securities other than cash or US government securities. |
n | | TBA transactions risk. TBA transactions involve the risk that the securities received may be less favorable than what was anticipated by the Fund when entering into the TBA transaction. TBA transactions also involve the risk that a counterparty will fail to deliver the securities, exposing the Fund to further losses. Whether or not the Fund takes delivery of the securities at the termination date of a TBA transaction, the Fund will nonetheless be exposed to changes in the value of the underlying investments during the term of the agreement. |

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Conservative Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of Invesco Management Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company that is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of the portfolio are accounted for separately. Matters affecting the portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide capital preservation and current income while maintaining liquidity.
The Fund currently consists of one class of shares, Institutional Class, which are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American
14 Invesco Conservative Income Fund
Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
G. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
15 Invesco Conservative Income Fund
H. | Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of nongovernment securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income. |
I. | Other Risks — The Fund may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the Fund may not be able to recover its investment in such issuer from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.25% | |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.22% | |
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Invesco voluntarily waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the Fund’s yield. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or discontinued at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2015, 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 Institutional Class shares to 0.28% 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 numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) 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 June 30, 2015. The fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated during its term.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2016, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the period July 1, 2014 (commencement date) through August 31, 2014, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $10,618 and reimbursed expenses of $59,573. In addition, $730 were waived in order to increase the Fund’s yield.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period July 1, 2014 (commencement date) through August 31, 2014, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the period July 1, 2014 (commencement date) through August 31, 2014, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund’s shares. The Fund is not charged any fees pursuant with the distribution agreement with IDI.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
As of August 31, 2014, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York Mellon, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Period July 1, 2014 (Commencement Date) through August 31, 2014:
| | | | |
| | 2014 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 9,022 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2014 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 120 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 7,042 | |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (456 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 25,000,000 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 25,006,706 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term
17 Invesco Conservative Income Fund
or long-term capital losses. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of August 31, 2014, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 456 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 456 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period July 1, 2014 (commencement date) through August 31, 2014 was $16,796,244 and $486,931, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 11,628 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (4,586 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 7,042 | |
Cost of investments is the same for tax and financial reporting purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Invesco Management Trust
and Shareholders of Invesco Conservative Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Conservative Income Fund (one of the funds constituting Invesco Management Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at August 31, 2014, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period July 1, 2014 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder in the Institutional Class, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The actual ending account value and expenses in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of the close of business on July 1, 2014 (commencement date) and held through August 31, 2014.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account as of close of business July 1, 2014 (commencement date) through August 31, 2014. Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Class | | Beginning Account Value (07/01/14) | | | ACTUAL | | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | | Annualized Expense Ratio | |
| | Ending Account Value (08/31/14)1 | | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | | Ending Account Value (08/31/14) | | | Expenses Paid During Period3 | | |
Institutional | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.40 | | | $ | 0.44 | | | $ | 1,023.89 | | | $ | 1.33 | | | | 0.26 | % |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2014 (commencement date) through August 31, 2014, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Actual expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 62 (as of close of business July 1, 2014 (commencement date) through August 31, 2014)/365. Because the Fund has not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |
20 Invesco Conservative Income Fund
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Invesco Management Trust (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve the Invesco Conservative Income Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements before the Fund can commence operations. During meetings held on June 17-18, 2014, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) to add the Fund, and (ii) (a) an amendment to the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. to add the Fund, and (b) an amendment to the Sub-Advisory Contract with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC to add the Fund (the sub-advisers, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers; and the contracts, the sub-advisory contracts). In doing so, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. The Board (i) determined that the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts are in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s agreements is fair and reasonable and (ii) approved submission of the agreements to the initial shareholder of the Fund.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees that are responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Fund will be assigned to one of the Sub-Committees. The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to their assigned Invesco Funds. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management and review with these individuals the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment
advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an independent officer of the Invesco Funds, and by independent legal counsel. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who will provide these services. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide these services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, equity and fixed income trading operations, internal audit, distribution and legal and compliance. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the existing relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Invesco Funds, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who may provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations
regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Board did not consider the performance of the Fund because the Fund is new and has no performance history. The Board did review performance expectations for the Fund in different market environments.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered the proposed advisory fee schedule of the Fund and the proposed fee waivers and expense limitations that will be in place for the Fund through June 30, 2015. The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees will have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
The Board also considered comparative advisory fee data provided by Invesco Advisers with respect to comparable registered funds managed by third-party advisers. The Board noted that the advisory fee is at or below the Lipper Ultra-Short Obligations Funds (Institutional Load Funds) classification median fee at certain break points and that the advisory fee is the same as or lower than the fee of three key competitors identified by Invesco Advisers and above the fee of two key competitors identified by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
Based upon the information provided and considerations described above, the Board concluded that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund would benefit from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund will share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of
21 Invesco Conservative Income Fund
all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board considered information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; that the services are required for the operation of the Fund; that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates can provide services, the nature and quality of which are at least equal to those provided by others offering the same or similar services; and that the fees for such services are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges by others for services of the same nature and quality.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does is not expected to execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 2016, the advisory fees payable by the Fund with respect to such investments. This waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers or its affiliates receive from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral from securities lending arrangements.
The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

(e)(1)
PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees of
the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)
Last Amended May 4, 2010
Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (“Rules”), the Audit Committees of the Funds’ (the “Audit Committees”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an “Auditor”). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds’ investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds (“Service Affiliates”) if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations.
Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committees (“general pre-approval”) or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees (“specific pre-approval”). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor’s independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services.
The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee generally on an annual basis. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities.
Delegation
The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committees at the next quarterly meeting.
Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committees will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant either general or specific pre-approval of other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.
Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC’s Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees’ general principles and policies as set forth herein.
Audit-Related Services
“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers, compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities.
Tax Services
“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committees will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committees will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.
No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committees’ pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall:
| 1. | Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter: |
| a. | The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and |
| b. | Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service; |
| 2. | Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and |
| 3. | Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees. |
All Other Auditor Services
The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as “All other services” that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.
Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts
Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.
Procedures
Generally on an annual basis, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”) will submit to the Audit Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request.
Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees will be submitted to the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means.
Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Fund’s Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the Auditor’s independence and will document the substance of the discussion.
Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.
The Audit Committees have designated the Funds’ Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will report to the Audit Committees on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds’ Treasurer and management of Invesco will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committees any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or senior management of Invesco.
