The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es).
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 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 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. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Class B and Class C share performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The inception date of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares was January 22, 1999.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future
results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares was 1.01%, 1.76%, 1.76% and 0.76%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
A redemption fee of 2% will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the Fund within 31 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the Fund’s prospectus.

Letters to Shareholders
Bruce Crockett
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
With 2010 behind us, now is a good time to review our portfolios and ensure that we are adhering to a long-term, diversified investment strategy, which I’ve mentioned in previous letters. The year was notable for a number of reasons, but I’m sure most of us are grateful for a return to more stable markets and growing signs that the worst of the economic crisis is behind us.
Your Board continued to oversee the Invesco Funds with a strong sense of responsibility for your savings and a deep appreciation for your continued trust. As always, we worked throughout 2010 to manage costs and ensure Invesco continued to place investor interests first.
I’m pleased to report that the latest report from Morningstar affirmed the work we’ve done and included a number of positive comments regarding your Board’s oversight of the Invesco Funds. As background, Morningstar is a leading independent provider of investment research in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Morningstar stated, “A fund board’s duty is to represent the interests of fund shareholders, ensuring that the funds that it oversees charge reasonable fees and are run by capable advisors with a sound investment process.”
Morningstar maintained your Fund Board’s “A” grade for Board Quality, praising the Board for taking “meaningful steps in recent years to act in fund shareholders’ interests.”1 These steps included becoming much more proactive and vocal in overseeing how Invesco votes the funds’ shareholders’ proxies and requiring each fund trustee to invest more than one year’s board compensation in Invesco funds, further aligning our interests with those of our shareholders. Morningstar also cited the work I’ve done to make myself more available to fund shareholders via email.
I am also pleased that Morningstar recognized the effort and the Fund Board’s efforts over the past several years to work together with management at Invesco to enhance performance and sharpen the focus on investors.
As always, you’re welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you have. We look forward to representing and serving you.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

1 | Among the criteria Morningstar considers when evaluating a fund board are the degree to which the board is independent of the fund company; board members’ financial interests are aligned with those of fund shareholders; the board acts in fund shareholders’ interests; and the board works constructively with company management and investment personnel. Morningstar first awarded an “A” rating to the Invesco Funds board on September 13, 2007; that rating has been maintained in subsequent reports, the most recent of which was released December 17, 2010. Ratings are subject to change, usually every 12 to 24 months. Morningstar ratings range from “A” to “F.” |

Dear Shareholders:
Enclosed is important information about your Fund and its performance. At Invesco, investment excellence is our goal across our product line. Let me explain what that means. All of our funds are managed by specialized teams of investment professionals. Each team has a discrete investment perspective and philosophy, and all follow disciplined, repeatable processes governed by strong risk oversight. Our investment-centric culture provides an environment that seeks to reduce distractions, allowing our fund managers to concentrate on what they do best – manage your money.
The importance of a broad product line and investment management expertise is obvious given the markets we’ve experienced over the last two to three years. We’ve seen that investment strategies can outperform or underperform their benchmark indexes for a variety of reasons, including where we are in the market cycle, and whether prevailing economic conditions are favorable or unfavorable for that strategy. That’s why no investment strategy can guarantee top-tier performance at all times. What investors can expect, and what Invesco offers, are funds that are managed according to their stated investment objectives and strategies, with robust risk oversight using consistent, repeatable investment processes that don’t change as short-term external conditions change – investments managed for the long term. This disciplined approach can’t guarantee a profit; no investment can do that, since all involve some measure of risk. But it can ensure that your money is managed the way we said it would be.
This adherence to stated investment objectives and strategies allows your financial advisor to build a diversified portfolio that meets your individual risk tolerance and financial goals.
If you have questions about your account, please contact one of our client service representatives at 800 959 4246. If you have a general Invesco-related question or comment for me, I invite you to email me directly at phil@invesco.com. All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco U.S. Small Cap Value Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco 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 Cap Value Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust. 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 Class I shares received Class A and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class P and Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class A and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years.
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 C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert.
9 Invesco U.S. Small Cap Value Fund
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. Redemption of Class B shares prior to conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. | |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). | ||
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. | ||
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. | ||
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) 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 net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. | ||
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 |
10 Invesco U.S. Small Cap Value Fund
laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. | ||
D. | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. | |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. | |
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 (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. | |
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. | |
I. | Redemption Fees — The Fund has a 2% redemption fee that is to be retained by the Fund to offset transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term redemptions and exchanges. The fee, subject to certain exceptions, is imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges of shares within 31 days of purchase. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase in shareholder capital and is allocated among the share classes based on the relative net assets of each class. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Net Assets | Rate | |||
First $500 million | 0 | .67% | ||
Next $500 million | 0 | .645% | ||
Over $1 billion | 0 | .62% | ||
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(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least 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 and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares to 1.12%, 1.87%, 1.87%, and 0.87%, 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 and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the 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 during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $19,311.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
11 Invesco U.S. Small Cap Value Fund
Also, Invesco 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.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $2,533 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
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 March 31, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $673,958, which resulted in net realized gains of $303,894.
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in Demand Deposit Accounts (DDA) used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $151.

NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,097 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 8—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
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 September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
Capital Loss | ||||
Expiration | Carryforward* | |||
September 30, 2017 | $ | 17,083,450 | ||
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $189,248,016 and $239,226,460, 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 12—Subsequent Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen Small Cap Value Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”).
The Fund’s shareholders approved the Agreement on April 14, 2011 and the reorganization was consummated on May 23, 2011. Upon closing of the reorganization, shareholders of the Fund received a corresponding class of shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund and the Fund liquidated and ceased operations.
15 Invesco U.S. Small 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. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, 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 182/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Effective June 1, 2010, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of Invesco Value Fund. Returns shown above for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Value 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 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 1.14%, 1.89%, 1.89% and 0.89%, 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:
With 2010 behind us, now is a good time to review our portfolios and ensure that we are adhering to a long-term, diversified investment strategy, which I’ve mentioned in previous letters. The year was notable for a number of reasons, but I’m sure most of us are grateful for a return to more stable markets and growing signs that the worst of the economic crisis is behind us.
Your Board continued to oversee the Invesco Funds with a strong sense of responsibility for your savings and a deep appreciation for your continued trust. As always, we worked throughout 2010 to manage costs and ensure Invesco continued to place investor interests first.
I’m pleased to report that the latest report from Morningstar affirmed the work we’ve done and included a number of positive comments regarding your Board’s oversight of the Invesco Funds. As background, Morningstar is a leading independent provider of investment research in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Morningstar stated, “A fund board’s duty is to represent the interests of fund shareholders, ensuring that the funds that it oversees charge reasonable fees and are run by capable advisors with a sound investment process.”
Morningstar maintained your Fund Board’s “A” grade for Board Quality, praising the Board for taking “meaningful steps in recent years to act in fund shareholders’ interests.”1 These steps included becoming much more proactive and vocal in overseeing how Invesco votes the funds’ shareholders’ proxies and requiring each fund trustee to invest more than one year’s board compensation in Invesco funds, further aligning our interests with those of our shareholders. Morningstar also cited the work I’ve done to make myself more available to fund shareholders via email.
I am also pleased that Morningstar recognized the effort and the Fund Board’s efforts over the past several years to work together with management at Invesco to enhance performance and sharpen the focus on investors.
As always, you’re welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you have. We look forward to representing and serving you.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

1 | Among the criteria Morningstar considers when evaluating a fund board are the degree to which the board is independent of the fund company; board members’ financial interests are aligned with those of fund shareholders; the board acts in fund shareholders’ interests; and the board works constructively with company management and investment personnel. Morningstar first awarded an “A” rating to the Invesco Funds board on September 13, 2007; that rating has been maintained in subsequent reports, the most recent of which was released December 17, 2010. Ratings are subject to change, usually every 12 to 24 months. Morningstar ratings range from “A” to “F.” |

Dear Shareholders:
Enclosed is important information about your Fund and its performance. At Invesco, investment excellence is our goal across our product line. Let me explain what that means. All of our funds are managed by specialized teams of investment professionals. Each team has a discrete investment perspective and philosophy, and all follow disciplined, repeatable processes governed by strong risk oversight. Our investment-centric culture provides an environment that seeks to reduce distractions, allowing our fund managers to concentrate on what they do best – manage your money.
The importance of a broad product line and investment management expertise is obvious given the markets we’ve experienced over the last two to three years. We’ve seen that investment strategies can outperform or underperform their benchmark indexes for a variety of reasons, including where we are in the market cycle, and whether prevailing economic conditions are favorable or unfavorable for that strategy. That’s why no investment strategy can guarantee top-tier performance at all times. What investors can expect, and what Invesco offers, are funds that are managed according to their stated investment objectives and strategies, with robust risk oversight using consistent, repeatable investment processes that don’t change as short-term external conditions change – investments managed for the long term. This disciplined approach can’t guarantee a profit; no investment can do that, since all involve some measure of risk. But it can ensure that your money is managed the way we said it would be.
This adherence to stated investment objectives and strategies allows your financial advisor to build a diversified portfolio that meets your individual risk tolerance and financial goals.
If you have questions about your account, please contact one of our client service representatives at 800 959 4246. If you have a general Invesco-related question or comment for me, I invite you to email me directly at phil@invesco.com. All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Value Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco 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 Value 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 I shares received Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return.
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 C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert.
9 Invesco Value Fund
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. Redemption of Class B shares prior to conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. | |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). | ||
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. | ||
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. | ||
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) 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 net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. | ||
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 |
10 Invesco Value Fund
laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. | ||
D. | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. | |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. | |
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 (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. | |
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. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Net Assets | Rate | |||
First $1 billion | 0 | .42% | ||
Next $1 billion | 0 | .37% | ||
Next $1 billion | 0 | .32% | ||
Over $3 billion | 0 | .27% | ||
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(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least 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 and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares to 1.25%, 2.00%, 2.00%, and 1.00%, respectively, of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $11,241.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
Also, Invesco 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.
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
11 Invesco Value Fund
providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will reimburse IDI for distribution related expenses that IDI incurs up to a maximum of the following annual rates; (1) Class A — up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares; (2) Class B — up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and (3) Class C — up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In the case of Class B shares, provided that the Plan continues in effect, any cumulative expenses incurred by IDI, but not yet reimbursed to IDI may be recovered through the payment of future distribution fees from the Fund pursuant to the Plan and contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors upon redemption of Class B shares.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $2,881 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0, $8,146 and $211 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
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 March 31, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011, 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.
During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid legal fees of $642 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 6—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
Capital Loss | ||||
Expiration | Carryforward* | |||
September 30, 2017 | $ | 9,431,130 | ||
September 30, 2018 | 3,653,047 | |||
Total capital loss carryforward | $ | 13,084,177 | ||
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service 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 March 31, 2011 was $15,307,252 and $16,765,685, 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—Subsequent Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”).
The agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders. The agreement was submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at meetings held in April and May, 2011, which have been further adjourned until June 30, 2011.
14 Invesco Value Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 Value II Fund. Returns shown above for Class Y and Class A shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco Value II 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. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Class B and Class C share performance reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. The inception date of the predecessor fund’s Class P shares was July 17, 1996.
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 1.01%, 1.76%, 1.76% and 0.76%, 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 1.03%, 1.78%, 1.78% and 0.78%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios
presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class 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:
With 2010 behind us, now is a good time to review our portfolios and ensure that we are adhering to a long-term, diversified investment strategy, which I’ve mentioned in previous letters. The year was notable for a number of reasons, but I’m sure most of us are grateful for a return to more stable markets and growing signs that the worst of the economic crisis is behind us.
Your Board continued to oversee the Invesco Funds with a strong sense of responsibility for your savings and a deep appreciation for your continued trust. As always, we worked throughout 2010 to manage costs and ensure Invesco continued to place investor interests first.
I’m pleased to report that the latest report from Morningstar affirmed the work we’ve done and included a number of positive comments regarding your Board’s oversight of the Invesco Funds.
As background, Morningstar is a leading independent provider of investment research in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Morningstar stated, “A fund board’s duty is to represent the interests of fund shareholders, ensuring that the funds that it oversees charge reasonable fees and are run by capable advisors with a sound investment process.”
Morningstar maintained your Fund Board’s “A” grade for Board Quality, praising the Board for taking “meaningful steps in recent years to act in fund shareholders’ interests.”1 These steps included becoming much more proactive and vocal in overseeing how Invesco votes the funds’ shareholders’ proxies and requiring each fund trustee to invest more than one year’s board compensation in Invesco funds, further aligning our interests with those of our shareholders. Morningstar also cited the work I’ve done to make myself more available to fund shareholders via email.
I am also pleased that Morningstar recognized the effort and the Fund Board’s efforts over the past several years to work together with management at Invesco to enhance performance and sharpen the focus on investors.
As always, you’re welcome to contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you have. We look forward to representing and serving you.
Sincerely,
Bruce L. Crockett

1 | Among the criteria Morningstar considers when evaluating a fund board are the degree to which the board is independent of the fund company; board members’ financial interests are aligned with those of fund shareholders; the board acts in fund shareholders’ interests; and the board works constructively with company management and investment personnel. Morningstar first awarded an “A” rating to the Invesco Funds board on September 13, 2007; that rating has been maintained in subsequent reports, the most recent of which was released December 17, 2010. Ratings are subject to change, usually every 12 to 24 months. Morningstar ratings range from “A” to “F.” |

Dear Shareholders:
Enclosed is important information about your Fund and its performance. At Invesco, investment excellence is our goal across our product line. Let me explain what that means. All of our funds are managed by specialized teams of investment professionals. Each team has a discrete investment perspective and philosophy, and all follow disciplined, repeatable processes governed by strong risk oversight. Our investment-centric culture provides an environment that seeks to reduce distractions, allowing our fund managers to concentrate on what they do best – manage your money.
The importance of a broad product line and investment management expertise is obvious given the markets we’ve experienced over the last two to three years. We’ve seen that investment strategies can outperform or underperform their benchmark indexes for a variety of reasons, including where we are in the market cycle, and whether prevailing economic conditions are favorable or unfavorable for that strategy. That’s why no investment strategy can guarantee top-tier performance at all times. What investors can expect, and what Invesco offers, are funds that are managed according to their stated investment objectives and strategies, with robust risk oversight using consistent, repeatable investment processes that don’t change as short-term external conditions change – investments managed for the long term. This disciplined approach can’t guarantee a profit; no investment can do that, since all involve some measure of risk. But it can ensure that your money is managed the way we said it would be.
This adherence to stated investment objectives and strategies allows your financial advisor to build a diversified portfolio that meets your individual risk tolerance and financial goals.
If you have questions about your account, please contact one of our client service representatives at 800 959 4246. If you have a general Invesco-related question or comment for me, I invite you to email me directly at phil@invesco.com. All of us at Invesco look forward to serving your investment management needs for many years to come. Thank you for investing with us.
Sincerely,
Philip Taylor

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Value II Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Sector Funds (Invesco 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 Value Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund Trust. 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 Class I shares received Class A and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class P and Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class A and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years.
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 C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value. Effective November 30, 2010, new or additional investments in Class B shares are no longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may continue to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares until they convert. Also, shareholders in Class B shares will be able to exchange those shares for Class B shares of other Invesco Funds offering such shares until they convert.
9 Invesco Value II Fund
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. Redemption of Class B shares prior to conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. | |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). | ||
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. | ||
Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. | ||
Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trade 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 (net of withholding tax, if any) 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 net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser. | ||
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 |
10 Invesco Value II Fund
laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. | ||
D. | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. | |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. | |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. | ||
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund 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 (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. | |
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. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Net Assets | Rate | |||
First $1 billion | 0 | .50% | ||
Next $1 billion | 0 | .45% | ||
Next $1 billion | 0 | .40% | ||
Over $3 billion | 0 | .35% | ||
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least 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 and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares to 1.01%, 1.76%, 1.76%, and 0.76%, 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 and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (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. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $277,186.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred in providing accounting services to the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as administrative services fees.
Also, Invesco 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.
11 Invesco Value II 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. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each class of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $177 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
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 March 31, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011, 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.
During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund paid legal fees of $670 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.
12 Invesco Value II Fund
NOTE 5—Cash Balances and Borrowings
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 September 30, 2010 which expires as follows:
Capital Loss | ||||
Expiration | Carryforward* | |||
September 30, 2017 | $ | 15,103,071 | ||
September 30, 2018 | 6,983,567 | |||
Total capital loss carryforward | $ | 22,086,638 | ||
* | 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 Trust during the six months ended March 31, 2011 was $23,845,783 and $75,342,832, 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.

(a) | Calculated using average shares outstanding. | |
(b) | Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Does not include sales charges and is not annualized for periods less than one year. | |
(c) | Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods less than one year, if applicable. | |
(d) | Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000’s omitted) of $58,528, $18, $46 and $67,960 for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. | |
(e) | Includes litigation proceeds received during the period. Had the litigation proceeds not been received, net gains (losses) on securities (both realized and unrealized) per share would have been $1.00, $0.87, $0.87 and $0.96 for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares respectively and total returns would have been lower. | |
(f) | Includes redemption fees added to shares of beneficial interest which were less than $0.005 per share. | |
(g) | Performance was positively impacted by approximately 5.33% and 5.35% for the Class A and Class Y shares, respectively, due to the receipt of proceeds from the settlements of class action suits involving primarily two of the Portfolio’s past holdings. This was a one-time settlement, and as a result, the impact on the NAV and consequently the performance will not likely be repeated in the future. Had these settlements not occurred, the total return would have been approximately (3.90)% and (3.57)% for Class A and Class Y shares, respectively. | |
(h) | The ratios reflect the rebate of certain Fund expenses in connection with investments in a Morgan Stanley affiliate during the period. The effect of the rebate on the ratios was 0.01% for the year ended September 30, 2009 and less than 0.005% for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. | |
(i) | During the year, the Portfolio received a regulatory settlement from an unaffiliated third party, which had an impact on net investment income and total returns of $0.01 and 0.02% for Class A and less than $0.005 and 0.02% for Class Y shares, respectively. | |
(j) | Commencement date of June 1, 2010 for the Class B and Class C shares, respectively. | |
(k) | Annualized. |
NOTE 10—Subsequent Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen Comstock Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”).
The Fund’s shareholders approved the Agreement on April 14, 2011 and the reorganization was consummated on May 23, 2011. Upon closing of the reorganization, shareholders of the Fund received a corresponding class of shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund and the Fund liquidated and ceased operations.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period October 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, 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 182/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
