The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. stock market.
The Custom Basic Balanced Index, created by Invesco to serve as a benchmark for Invesco Basic Balanced Fund, is composed of the following indexes: Russell 1000® Value (60%) and Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate (40%). The Russell 1000 Value Index is a trademark/service mark of the Frank Russell Co. Russell® is a trademark of the Frank Russell Co. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.
The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds tracked by Lipper.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.
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.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares was 1.33%, 2.08%, 2.08%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 1.33% and 0.78%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Letters to Shareholders
Bruce Crockett
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
![-s- Bruce L. Crockett](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000950123-10-083728/h74573h7457304.gif)

Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital, and, secondarily, current income.
The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class and Institutional Class. Investor Class shares of the Fund are offered only to certain grandfathered investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.

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 bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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. |
| | Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
| | 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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net 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. |
15 Invesco Basic Balanced Fund
| | |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
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 income are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 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 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. |
H. | | 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 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. |
I. | | Dollar Roll and Forward Commitment Transactions — The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. |
| | In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a “fee” or a “drop”. “Fee” income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the “drop” which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. |
| | At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. |
| | Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month |
16 Invesco Basic Balanced Fund
| | |
| | or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund’s overall interest rate exposure. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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 Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $150 million | | | 0 | .65% |
|
Next $1.85 billion | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Next $2 billion | | | 0 | .45% |
|
Next $2 billion | | | 0 | .40% |
|
Next $2 billion | | | 0 | .375% |
|
Over $8 billion | | | 0 | .35% |
|
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. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
17 Invesco Basic Balanced Fund
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 2.00% and 1.75%, respectively, 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 to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under the expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $22,481.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $1,028.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IADI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Investor Class shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Investor Class Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Investor Class Plan for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $19,553 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $38,037 and $597 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

19 Invesco Basic Balanced Fund
NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $46,368,155 and securities sales of $34,062,496, which resulted in net realized gains of $5,647,990.
NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $2,863.
NOTE 7—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. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,087 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.
NOTE 9—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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. 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss

|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 164,805,217 | |

22 Invesco Basic Balanced Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 during this 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, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, 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.

23 Invesco Basic Balanced Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco Basic Balanced Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion 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. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who 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’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services 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 provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts 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 considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in
24 Invesco Basic Balanced Fund
considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Class A Shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board also noted that Invesco made manager and process changes related to the fixed income portion of the Fund’s portfolio assets in 2008 and early 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was: (i) below the effective fee rate for one mutual fund and (ii) above the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund, which is a fund of funds for which Invesco Advisers does not charge a separate advisory fee.
Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees of the Fund through December 31, 2012 and that this fee waiver includes breakpoints based on net asset levels. The Board considered the contractual nature of this fee waiver and noted that it remains in effect until December 31, 2012. The Board also considered the effect this fee waiver would have on the Fund’s total estimated expenses. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, 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 have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above, the advisory fee after fee waivers and expense limitations and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes five breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
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. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered 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, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives 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. 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 in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The MSCI Europe Small Cap Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of small-cap European stocks.
The Lipper European Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of European funds tracked by Lipper.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.

Class Y shares incepted on October 3, 2008. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 1.82%, 2.57%, 2.57% and 1.57%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
A redemption fee of 2% will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the Fund within 31 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the Fund’s prospectus.
Had the adviser not waived fees and/ or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have been lower.

Letters to Shareholders
Bruce Crockett
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
![-s- Bruce L. Crockett](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000950123-10-083728/h74573h7457802.gif)

Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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. |
| | Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
| | 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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net 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. |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
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 income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 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 |
9 Invesco European Small Company Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. |
H. | | 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 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. |
I. | | Redemption Fees — The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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:

10 Invesco European Small Company Fund
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. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00% and 2.00%, respectively, 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 to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $6,109.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $202.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $10,980 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $10,677 and $2,454 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. |
11 Invesco European Small Company Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,458 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.
NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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. 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:

14 Invesco European Small Company Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 during this 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, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, 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.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, 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 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
15 Invesco European Small Company Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco European Small Company Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion 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. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who 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’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services 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 provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts 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.
16 Invesco European Small Company Fund
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper European Region Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the third quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and five year periods and below the performance of the Index for the three year period. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers and other Invesco Advisers’ affiliated investment advisers advise funds with comparable investment strategies in other jurisdictions; however, the Board did not consider comparisons of fees charged to those funds to be apt, as those fees may include more than investment management services.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, 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 have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
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. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered 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, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives 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. 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 in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Class Y shares incepted on October 3, 2008. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco. com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class shares was 1.93%, 2.68%, 2.68%, 1.68% and 1.24%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y and Institutional Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
A redemption fee of 2% will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the Fund within 31 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the Fund’s prospectus.
Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have been lower.

Letters to Shareholders
Bruce Crockett
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair, Invesco Funds Board of Trustees

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Core Equity Fund, formerly AIM Global Core Equity Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) formerly AIM Funds Group (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of seven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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 |
9 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
| | 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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net 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. |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
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 income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 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 |
10 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. |
H. | | 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 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. |
I. | | Redemption Fees — The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates

11 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
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. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, 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 to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $698.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $172.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $6,900 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $8,755 and $385 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. |
12 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (1) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions and (2) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $0.
NOTE 5—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. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,396 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
13 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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. 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 21,962,315 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 14,435,805 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 36,398,120 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $13,051,609 and $21,902,337, 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.

16 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 during this 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, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, 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.

17 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco Global Core Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion 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. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who 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’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers were appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services 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 provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts 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 considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper Global Large-Cap Core Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the
18 Invesco Global Core Equity Fund
fourth quintile of its performance universe for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not serve as an adviser to other domestic mutual funds with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. Affiliated Sub-Advisers and other Invesco Advisers’ affiliated investment advisers do advise funds with comparable investment strategies in other jurisdictions; however, the Board did not consider comparisons of fees charged to those funds to be apt, as those fees may include more than investment management services.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients based upon policies reviewed with the Board. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to other client accounts, including provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets managed for other client accounts and noted that advance notice of redemptions affecting management assets is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. Although the Board noted that the fees charged to other client accounts were often lower than the advisory fee charged by Invesco Advisers to the Fund and other Invesco Funds, the Board did note that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts were more comparable. In light of this information, the Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Invesco Funds were sufficiently different from services provided to other client accounts and accordingly, the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts 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 have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.

F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
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. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered 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, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives 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. 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 in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Performance summary
Fund vs. Indexes
Cumulative total returns, 12/31/09 to 6/30/10, at net asset value (NAV). Performance shown does not include applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) or front-end sales charges, which would have reduced performance.

MSCI World Ex-US Small Cap Index6 (Style-Specific Index) | | | –6.31 | |

The MSCI EAFE® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of Europe, Australasia and the Far East.
The MSCI World Ex-US Small Cap Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of small-cap stocks of global developed markets, excluding those of the U.S.
The Lipper International Small/Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of international small/mid-cap growth funds tracked by Lipper.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the indexes defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the indexes.
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.

Class Y shares incepted on October 3, 2008. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements.
Institutional Class shares incepted on October 25, 2005. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional shares was 1.62%, 2.37%, 2.37%, 1.37% and 1.12%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y and Institutional Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
A redemption fee of 2% will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the Fund within 31 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the Fund’s prospectus.
Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have been lower.

Letters to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
![-s- Bruce L. Crockett](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000950123-10-083728/h74573h7458504.gif)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco International Small Company Fund, formerly AIM International Small Company Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group), formerly AIM Funds Group, (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of seven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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 |
9 Invesco International Small Company Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
| | 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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net 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. |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
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 income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
10 Invesco International Small Company Fund
| | |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. |
H. | | 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 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. |
I. | | Redemption Fees — The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

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 Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $250 million | | | 0 | .935% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .91% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .885% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .86% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .835% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .81% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .785% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .76% |
|
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. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.00% and 2.00% of average daily net assets, respectively. 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 to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under the expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $23,022.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $297.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $13,375 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,673, $18,794 and $5,171 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $884.
NOTE 5—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
13 Invesco International Small Company Fund
be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,864 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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. 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss

* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $52,978,422 and $61,301,301, 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.

16 Invesco International Small Company Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 during this 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, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, 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.

17 Invesco International Small Company Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco International Small Company Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion 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. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who 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’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services 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 provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts 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.
18 Invesco International Small Company Fund
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper International Small/Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the second quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds.). The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, 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 have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
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. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered 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, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives 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. 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 in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco. com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares was 1.66%, 2.41%, 2.41%, 1.91%, 1.41% and 0.96%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
![-s- Bruce L. Crockett](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000950123-10-083728/h74573h7458604.gif)

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Mid Cap Basic Value Fund, formerly AIM Mid Cap Basic Value Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group), formerly AIM Funds Group, (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of seven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Under certain circumstances, Class R shares are subject to a CDSC. Effective April 1, 2010, Class R shares are no longer subject to a CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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. |
8 Invesco Mid Cap Basic Value Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
| | 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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net 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. |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
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 income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
9 Invesco Mid Cap Basic Value Fund
| | |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. |
H. | | 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 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. |
I. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

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 Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $250 million | | | 0 | .745% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .73% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .715% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .685% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .655% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .64% |
|
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. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, 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 to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $6,731.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $271.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $27,859 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $13,946 and $3,936 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $10,464,300 and securities sales of $21,404,554, which resulted in net realized gains of $2,071,127.
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,213.
NOTE 6—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. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,518 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.
NOTE 8—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available
12 Invesco Mid Cap Basic Value Fund
capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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. 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
| | | | |

Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 15,765,446 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 9—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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $300,412,976 and $258,581,827, 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.

14 Invesco Mid Cap Basic Value Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 during this 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, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, 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.

| Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts |
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco Mid Cap Basic Value Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion 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. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who 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’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services 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 provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts 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.
16 Invesco Mid Cap Basic Value Fund
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Class A share of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s 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 have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, and that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are affiliates.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
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. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for the research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered 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, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives 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. 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 in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.

This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds.

The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Select Equity Fund, formerly AIM Select Equity Fund, (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group), formerly AIM Funds Group (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of seven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of four different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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”). |
10 Invesco Select Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
| | 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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net 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. |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
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 income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 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. |
11 Invesco Select Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. |
H. | | 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 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. |
I. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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 Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $150 million | | | 0 | .80% |
|
Over $150 million | | | 0 | .625% |
|
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. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively, 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 to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under the expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,958.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense
12 Invesco Select Equity Fund
reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $431.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $6,379 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $20,892 and $241 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,066.
NOTE 6—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. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,513 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.
NOTE 8—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
14 Invesco Select Equity Fund
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. 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. Under these limitation rules, the Fund is limited to utilizing $113,354,997 of capital loss carryforward in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
| | | | |

16 Invesco Select Equity Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 during this 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, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, 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.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, 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 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
17 Invesco Select Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco Select Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses, and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investment Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion 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. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who 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’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the quality and efficiency of the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services 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 provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the additional resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund.
18 Invesco Select Equity Fund
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that the Fund was managed consistently with its mandate and that quantitative processes, such as those followed by the Fund, are typically challenged at market inflection points. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including two mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was above the effective fee rates for both of the mutual funds, one being an asset allocation fund which is not charged any advisory fees by Invesco Advisers pursuant to that fund’s advisory agreement.
Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not advise other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, 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 have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes one breakpoint, and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoint. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.

F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
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. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered 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, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives 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. 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 in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future
results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares was 1.52%, 2.27%, 2.27%, 1.77%, 1.27% and 0.90%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other
sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Although the global markets have improved since their lows of 2009, they remain challenging as governments around the world work to ensure the recovery remains on track. In this volatile environment, it’s comforting to know that your Board is committed to putting your interests first. We realize you have many choices when selecting a money manager, and your Board is working hard to ensure you feel you’ve made the right choice.
To that end, I’m pleased to share the news that Invesco has completed its acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments. This acquisition greatly expands the breadth and depth of investment strategies we can offer you. As a result of this combination, Invesco gained investment talent for a number of investment strategies, including U.S. value equity, U.S. small cap growth equity, tax-free municipals, bank loans and others. Another key advantage of this combination is the highly complementary nature of our cultures. This is making it much easier to bring our organizations together while ensuring that our investment teams remain focused on managing your money.
We view this addition as an excellent opportunity for you, our shareholders, to have access to an even broader range of well-diversified mutual funds. Now that the acquisition has closed, Invesco is working to bring the full value of the combined organization to shareholders. The key goals of this effort are to ensure that we have deeply resourced and focused investment teams, a compelling line of products and enhanced efficiency, which will benefit our shareholders now and over the long term.
It might interest you to know that the mutual funds of the combined organization are overseen by a single fund Board composed of 17 current members, including four new members who joined us from Van Kampen/Morgan Stanley. This expanded Board will continue to oversee the funds with the same strong sense of responsibility for your money and your continued trust that we have always maintained.
As always, you are welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to representing you and serving your interests.
Sincerely,
![-s- Bruce L. Crockett](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000950123-10-083728/h74573h7458911.gif)

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund, formerly AIM Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group), formerly AIM Funds Group (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of seven separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class B shares and Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares are sold at net asset value. Under certain circumstances, Class R shares are subject to a CDSC. Effective April 1, 2010, Class R shares are no longer subject to a CDSC. Generally, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on or about the month-end which is at least eight years after the date of purchase.
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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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”). |
9 Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
| | 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 is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | 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 realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net 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. |
| | The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
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 income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on 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 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. |
10 Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to the Institutional Class are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. |
H. | | 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 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. |
I. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
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 Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $250 million | | | 0 | .745% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .73% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .715% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .685% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .655% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .64% |
|
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. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2011, 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 (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, 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 to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Board of Trustees or Invesco may terminate the fee waiver arrangement at any time. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
11 Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $5,833.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. These expenses along with the related expense reimbursement are included in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Invesco Ltd. reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $545.
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 six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $18,655 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $21,583, $1,373 and $0 from Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of June 30, 2010. 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—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangements are comprised of (1) transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions and (2) custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund received credits from these arrangements, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,634.

NOTE 5—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. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,848 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.
NOTE 7—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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. 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 had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 11,520,684 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 45,227,679 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 56,748,363 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—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 six months ended June 30, 2010 was $78,411,841 and $94,171,046, respectively.

15 Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010.
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 during this 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, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, 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.

16 Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund

| Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts |
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of the Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the sub-advisory contracts) 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers). During contract renewal meetings held on June 15-16, 2010, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise 85% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2010. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided and determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, each of which is responsible for overseeing the management of a number of the series portfolios of the funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet throughout the year to review the performance of their assigned funds, including reviewing materials prepared under the direction of the independent Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risk of these funds. The Sub-Committees meet regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to all their assigned funds. Each Sub-Committee recommends to the Investments Committee, which in turn recommends to the full Board, whether to approve the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (Lipper). The Trustees also receive an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, which is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure that they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement by the Senior Officer and by independent legal counsel. The independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in private sessions with the Senior Officer and counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board considered the information provided to them as part of the contract renewal process as well as information provided at their meetings throughout the year as part of their ongoing oversight of the Fund, and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may weigh a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee. The Trustees recognized that the advisory arrangements and resulting advisory fees for the Fund and the other Invesco Funds are the result of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, that the Trustees may focus to a greater extent on certain aspects of these arrangements in some years than in others, and that the Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years.
The discussion below serves as the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion 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. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 16, 2010, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who 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’ portfolio and product review process, various back office support functions provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, and Invesco Advisers’ equity and fixed income trading operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and that Invesco Advisers currently is providing satisfactory advisory services in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. In addition, based on their ongoing meetings throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and concluded that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered the steps that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates continue to take to improve the services they provide to the Invesco Funds in the areas of investment performance, product line diversification, distribution, fund operations, shareholder services and compliance. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ independent credit analysis and investment risk management procedures as they apply to the Fund and the other Invesco Funds. The Board also considered the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. of the retail mutual fund business of Morgan Stanley and how that is expected to affect product line diversification. The Board also considered assurances from Invesco Advisers that it does not expect the acquisition to diminish the quality of services provided to the Invesco Funds and that it plans to increase staffing. The Board concluded that the quality and efficiency of the services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds support the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services 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 provide these services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, which have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world, can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund invests and make recommendations on securities of companies located in such countries. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts 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 considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in
17 Invesco Small Cap Equity Fund
considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of all funds in the Lipper performance universe that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser and against the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index. The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the third quintile for the three year period and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board noted that the investment management team has a conservative, quality bias that underperformed during the low-quality rally in 2009. Although the independent written evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer only considered Fund performance through the most recent calendar year, the Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group that are not managed by Invesco Advisers or an Affiliated Sub-Adviser, at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in determining contractual fee rates, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after any advisory fee waivers and before any expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, including one mutual fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s effective fee rate was below the effective fee rate for the other mutual fund. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers serves as a sub-adviser to two mutual funds and that the effective fee sub-advisory rate is below the effective fee advisory rate for the Fund.
Other than the mutual funds described above, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts in a manner substantially similar to the management of the Fund.
The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least April 30, 2011 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund. The Board noted that at the current expense ratio for the Fund, this expense waiver does not have any impact.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, 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 have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers. After taking account of the Fund’s contractual advisory and sub-advisory fee rates, the comparative advisory fee information discussed above and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from such economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee schedule includes seven breakpoints and that the Fund would share in economies of scale as the Fund’s net assets exceeded the breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of all of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
| |
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit with respect to the services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers continues to support the Invesco Funds with spending on regulatory compliance, attribution systems, global trading initiatives and a focus on building out the product line-up for the benefit of all shareholders of the Invesco Funds. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees are fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and the support provided to the Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates are providing these services in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and are qualified to continue to provide these services to the Fund.
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. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research and execution services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the funds and therefore may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board concluded that the soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on their review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered 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, 2011, the advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives 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. 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 in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
