The Russell 2500™ Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 2500 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 2500 Value Index is a trademark/service mark of the Frank Russell Company. Russell® is a trademark of the Frank Russell Co.
The Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of mid-cap value 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.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class I and Class P shares of the predecessor fund advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Class Y and Class A shares, respectively, of Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund. Returns shown above for Class Y and Class A shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class B and Class C shares incepted on June 1, 2010. Class B and Class C shares performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class P shares. Class B and Class C shares performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The inception date of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares was September 27, 2007.
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 net 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 1.52%, 2.27%, 2.27% and 1.27%, respectively.1 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 1.78%, 2.53%, 2.53% and 1.53%, 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.

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

Philip Taylor

Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds), formerly AIM Sector Funds, (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 twenty-four 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.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”). Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class P and I shares received Class A and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class P and I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class A and Y shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
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”). |
8 Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value 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 are declared and paid annually 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. |
9 Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value 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. | | 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. |
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 0.67% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $63,877 to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets
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).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, 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 1.51%, 2.26%, 2.26%, and 1.26%, 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 or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. The Broad 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the period ended June 30, 2010, MS Investment Management and the Adviser waived advisory fees of $547 and $0, respectively.
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. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the period ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $7,629 to MS Investment Management.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
10 Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund
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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $5,063 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the expenses incurred under these agreements 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.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $67 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class P shares. 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. For the period June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI did not retain any front-end sales commissions or 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—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.
11 Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund
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:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 1,751,000 | |

December 31, 2017 | | | 6,495,000 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 8,246,000 | |
|
| |
* | 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 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $6,773,653 and $15,510,627, 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.

NOTE 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
14 Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap 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. With the exception of the actual ending account value and expenses of Class B and Class C shares, 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. The actual ending account value and expenses of Class B and Class C shares in the example below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested as of close of business June 1, 2010 (the date the share classes commenced operations) and held 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 (as of close of business June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Class B and Class C shares). Because the actual ending account value and expense information in the example is not based upon a six month period for the Class B and Class C shares, the ending account value and expense information may not provide a meaningful comparison to mutual funds that provide such information for a full six month period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, 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 (as of close of business June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Class B and Class C shares), 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. For the Class B and Class C shares actual expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 30 (as of close of business June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010)/365. Because Class B and Class C shares have not been in existence for a full six month period, the actual ending account value and expense information shown may not provide a meaningful comparison to fund expense information of classes that show such data for a full six month period and, because the actual ending account value and expense information in the expense example covers a short time period, return and expense data may not be indicative of return and expense data for longer time periods. |
| Effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares to 1.51%, 2.26%, 2.26%, and 1.26%, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.51%, 2.26%, 2.26% and 1.26% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.34, $1.82, $1.82 and $6.13 for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. |
4 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 to reflect a one-half year period. The hypothetical ending account value and expenses may be used to compare ongoing costs of investing in Class B and Class C shares of the Fund and other funds because such data is based on a full six month period. |
| The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.55, 11.28, 11.28 and $6.31 for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. |
15 Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to 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) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements 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 agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Morgan Stanley retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. 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 Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. 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 will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees 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 fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were 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 provides for 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 considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco
16 Invesco U.S. Small/Mid Cap Value Fund
Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 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.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class R shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Institutional Class shares incepted on June 1, 2010. Institutional Class shares performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s 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 R, Class Y and Institutional Class shares was 0.89%, 1.64%, 1.64%, 1.14%, 0.64% and 0.54%, 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. For shares purchased prior to June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the sixth year. For shares purchased on or after June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% 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.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund (the “Fund”), is organized as a series of the AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds), formerly AIM Sector Funds, (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust and is registered as a diversified open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of twenty-four 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.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Comstock Fund (the “Acquired Fund”). The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares received the corresponding class of shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Class Y shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y shares throughout this report. Institutional Class shares commenced operations on the Reorganization Date.
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. 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 Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital growth and income through investments in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions regarding taxation, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuation — 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. |
13 Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below. |
| | Level 1 — Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. |
| | Level 2 — Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc. |
| | Level 3 — Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. |
| | The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |
C. | | Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. |
| | 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 on the Statement of Operations as realized gain/loss for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain/loss for investment 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 on the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the realized and unrealized net gains (losses) on securities per share on 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 on 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 on the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. |
D. | | Income and Expenses — Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares. |
E. | | 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. |
F. | | Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is presented in the financial statements. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. |
14 Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund
| | |
| | The Fund intends to utilize provisions of federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $2,212,430,401, which will expire as follows: |
| | | | | | |

|
| 1,215,153,460 | | | | December 31, 2017 | |
|

|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $8,368,044,179. |
| | |
G. | | Distribution of Income and Gains — The Fund declares and pays dividends quarterly from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions from the Fund are recorded on the ex-distribution date. |
| | The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows: |
| | | | |
|
Distributions paid from: | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 117,757,332 | |

| | | | |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 9,956,556 | |
|
| | |
| | Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of the deferral of losses relating to wash sale transactions. |
NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with 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 and advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | % Per Annum |
|
First $1 billion | | | 0.50 | % |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0.45 | % |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0.40 | % |
|
Over $3 billion | | | 0.35 | % |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $13,402,063 in advisory fees to Van Kampen Asset Management based on the annual rate above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement approved by shareholders of the Fund 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).
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, though at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A shares to 0.89%, Class B shares to 1.64%, Class C shares to 1.64%, Class R shares to 1.14%, Class Y shares to 0.64% and Institutional Class Shares to 0.64% 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 Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this limitation.
15 Invesco Van Kampen Comstock 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 in such affiliated money market funds. For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under this agreement.
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. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $210,524 to Van Kampen Investment Inc. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown on the Statement of Operations as “Accounting and administrative expenses”. Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
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. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended June 30, 2010, IIS was paid $1,027,842 for providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $2,461,505 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer agent fees”.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
“Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $0 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. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expenses of $115,526 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class R shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets, up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets, and up to 0.50% of Class R average net assets.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse the Distributor for any such expenses.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $9,180,231 to Van Kampen Funds Inc.
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. For the period June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $29,241 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $50, $59,929 and $699 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen Funds Inc., as distributor for the Acquired Fund, advised the Fund that it received commissions on sales of the Acquired Fund’s Class A shares of $342,102 and CDSC on redeemed shares of $312,132.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Acquiring Fund, totaling $29,828.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 36% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. IDI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. In addition, 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are owned by affiliated mutual funds. Affiliated mutual funds are mutual funds that are advised by Invesco. |
NOTE 4—Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments and money market funds, were $640,375,434 and $895,515,516, respectively.
NOTE 5—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.
NOTE 6—Cash Balance
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Expense example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and Class C shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and 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 the 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 1/1/10-6/30/10.
Actual expense
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line of the table below 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 cost 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table 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 transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

The expense ratio for Class B Shares reflects actual 12b-1 fees of less than 1%. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to 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) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements 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 agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or one of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. 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 Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. 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 will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that the Fund is to be managed by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
C. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees 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 fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were 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 provides for 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 considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be
20 Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund
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 were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 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.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Van Kampen Asset Management were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Enterprise Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Van Kampen Enterprise Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
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 net 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 1.17%, 1.92%, 1.92% and 0.92%, respectively. 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 1.19%, 1.94%, 1.94% and 0.94%, 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. For shares purchased prior to June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the sixth year. For shares purchased on or after June 1, 2010, the CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% 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.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1— Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen Enterprise Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds), formerly AIM Sector Funds, (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of twenty four 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.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Enterprise Fund (the “Acquired Fund”). The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C Shares received the corresponding class of shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares received Class Y Shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I Shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y Shares throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of securities consisting principally of common stocks.
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 ales 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 significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions regarding taxation, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuation — 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. |
12 Invesco Van Kampen Enterprise Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Fair Value Measurements — GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below. |
| | Level 1 — Prices are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. |
| | Level 2 — Prices are based on other significant observable inputs which may include quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc. |
| | Level 3 — Prices are based on significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. |
| | The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |
C. | | Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. |
| | 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. |
D. | | Income and Expenses — Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is presented in the financial statements. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. |
| | The Fund intends to utilize provisions of federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2009, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $720,309,995 which will expire according to the following schedule: |
| | | | | | |
Amount | | Expiration |

Cost of investments for tax purposes is $708,207,812. | | | | |
| | |
F. | | Distribution of Income and Gains — The Fund declares and pays dividends at least annually from net investment income and from net realized gains, if any. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which is included as ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions from the Fund are recorded on the ex-distribution date. There were no distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2009. |
G. | | Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at rates prevailing when accrued. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities resulting from changes in exchange rates are not segregated for financial reporting purposes from amounts arising from changes in the market prices of securities. The unrealized gains and losses on translations of other assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign currency translation on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations include the net realized amount from the sale of the foreign currency and the amount realized between trade date and settlement date on security transactions. |
H. | | 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.

The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
NOTE 2—Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Trust had entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | % Per Annum |
|
First $1 billion | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .45% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .40% |
|
Over $3 billion | | | 0 | .35% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $1,764,598 in advisory fees to Van Kampen Asset Management based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A Shares to 1.17%, Class B Shares to 1.92%, Class C Shares to 1.92% and Class Y Shares to 0.92% 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 Fund’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco Advisers, Inc. mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. For the period June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive advisory fees 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser did not waive any advisory fees under this agreement.
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. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance

Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
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. Prior to the Reorganization the Acquired Fund paid $537,457 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the period ended June 30, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown on the Statement of Operations as “Transfer Agent Fees”.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”).
“Trustees’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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’ Fees and Related Expenses” 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.
For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of approximately $-0- 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.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse the Distributor for any such expenses.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $1,093,164 to Van Kampen Funds Inc.
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. For the period June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,519 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A Shares and $1, $5,724 and $2 from Class A, Class B and Class C Shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen Funds Inc., as distributor for the Acquired Fund, advised the Fund that it received commissions on sales of the Acquired Fund’s Class A Shares of $15,390 and CDSC on redeemed shares of $33,251.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Acquired Fund, totaling $9,971.

The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
NOTE 4—Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments and money market funds, excluding short-term investments, were $421,641,653 and $424,064,549, respectively.
NOTE 5—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.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (ii) 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—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The Acquired Fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Acquired Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Expense example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and Class C Shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and 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 the 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 1/1/10-6/30/10.
Actual expense
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line of the table below 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 cost 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Advisers, Inc. and its Affiliates
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds) (the Company) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Invesco Van Kampen Enterprise Fund (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During meetings held on December 1-2, 2009, the Board as a whole and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, voting separately approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) to add the Fund and (ii) an amendment to 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) to add the Fund. In doing so, the Board determined that the investment advisory agreements 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 agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a Van Kampen retail fund (the Acquired Fund) with substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks. At the time of approval of the investment advisory agreements, the Fund had no assets and no performance history.
In determining to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreements, the Board considered among other things, the factors discussed below in evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreements. The Board considered the information provided to them and did not identify any information that was controlling. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory Agreements
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement. 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 Adviser’s global trading operations. In determining whether to approve the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between Invesco Advisers and the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds), as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund support the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreements.
The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts. 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 will benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate.
The Fund will retain the performance track record of the Acquired Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
| |
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board considered that the contractual advisory fee rate of the Fund is the same as that of the Acquired Fund, that the board of the Acquired Fund had approved such fee, and that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund through June 30, 2012. The Board was provided with a comparison of the contractual advisory fee of the Fund to the uniform fee schedule applicable to other Invesco Funds and with materials prepared by Lipper, Inc. for the board of the Acquired Fund.
The Board also considered the services to be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts and the services to be provided by Invesco Advisers pursuant to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fees 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 fee rate, the contractual sub-advisory fee rate, the expense limits and other relevant factors, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees were 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 provides for 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 considered information from the 2009 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund are not anticipated to be excessive in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and concluded that Invesco Advisers has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Board also considered whether each Affiliated Sub-Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under its respective sub-advisory contract, and concluded that each Affiliated Sub-Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
| |
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates resulting from Invesco Advisers’ relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates for their provision of administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates were providing these services to Invesco Funds in accordance with the
18 Invesco Van Kampen Enterprise Fund
terms of their contracts, and were qualified to provide these services to the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco 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 Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ soft dollar arrangements are appropriate. The Board also concluded that, based on its review and representations made by the Chief Compliance Officer of Invesco Advisers, these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board considered the fact that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through at least June 30, 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.
