Letters to Shareholders

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but |
then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
| | | | | | |
Performance summary For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, Class A shares of Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund (the Fund), at net asset value (NAV), underperformed the Citigroup 90-Day Treasury Bill Index, the Fund’s broad market/style-specific benchmark.

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year, the US economy continued to expand. The initial estimate of US gross domestic product (GDP) showed the US economy grew by 2.9% in the third quarter, beating consensus estimates.1 However, annualized GDP is expected to be lower. Employment data were mixed, though the unemployment rate had a surprise uptick from 4.9% in August to 5.0% in September before ending the fiscal year at 4.9%.2 Oil prices traded in a range from the high $20s to the low $50s during the reporting period.3
The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates in December 2015 – its first increase since 2006 – but that was its only increase during the reporting period. Major US stock market indexes posted gains for the reporting period, but they were fairly volatile. Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China, falling oil prices and uncertainty over Fed policy, including rumors of possible negative interest rates in the US. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains until June when UK voters opted to leave the European
Union, sending markets sharply lower once again. Markets again recovered, and major US equity indexes hit record highs during the summer.4 In this environment, investors generally favored the perceived safety of government bonds and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
The Fund follows a market neutral strategy, which is designed to produce a portfolio that experiences minimal influence from the return patterns of the general US stock market. As part of the investment process, the Fund evaluates fundamental and behavioral factors to forecast individual securities’ returns and risks and ranks these securities based on their attractiveness relative to industry peers.
The Fund implements its strategy by purchasing highly-ranked stocks as long positions, and selling poorly-ranked stocks as short positions within their respective industries. Stock selection is the primary source of return for the Fund, which uses offsetting long and short positions to generate return and manage risk.
In a market neutral construct, a positive spread between the top- and bottom-ranked stocks (long and short candidates for the portfolio) is intended to result in the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Citigroup 90-Day Treasury Bill Index. During the fiscal year, the Fund benefited the most from a positive long/short spread in seven of 11 sectors, led by the materials,

consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. However, the long/short spread in the energy, health care and information technology sectors meaningfully detracted from the Fund’s returns during reporting period.
During the fiscal year, the strongest contributors to Fund performance were holdings in the materials sector – specifically, the long holdings in aluminum/ diversified metals and gold generated a positive spread. The Fund’s long positions outperformed its short positions in the industrials sector; notably, long positions in capital goods added to Fund returns.
The energy sector was the largest detractor from Fund performance as its long/short spread was negative mostly due to short positions in the oil and gas exploration industry. In the health care sector, both the long and short positions moved against us. Early in the calendar year, long biotechnology holdings in the sector sold off as investors sought to reduce risk given strong returns in 2015, and due to the threat of additional regulation regarding drug pricing. Later in the fiscal year, a few of the sector’s short positions rallied due to positive news regarding new drug development, FDA drug approvals and acquisition activity. We note that the positive sentiment was short lived for some of these stocks, which declined toward the end of the reporting period.
Please note that the Fund may utilize derivative instruments that include equity total return swaps and futures contracts. During the reporting period, the Fund utilized equity total return swaps to efficiently implement its strategy, but did not use future contracts. The implementation impact of using equity total return swaps is a component of transaction costs. Derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.
Thank you for your investment in Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund.

∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |

The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counter-party risk is the risk that the counter-party to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than |
more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments rather than direct investments in stocks/bonds.
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. In particular, there is no guarantee that the portfolio manager’s stock selection process will produce a market neutral portfolio that reduces or eliminates the Fund’s exposure to general US stock market risk, sector or industry-specific risk or market capitalization risk. In addition, the Fund’s market neutral investment strategy will likely cause the Fund to underperform the broader US equity market during market rallies. Such underperformance could be significant during sudden or significant market rallies. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a positive return over a full market cycle from a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks while seeking to limit exposure to the general risks associated with stock market investing.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual
19 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income and short stock rebate income are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income and dividend expense on short sales are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
20 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Cash and Cash Equivalents — For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
21 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
A total return swap is an agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income generated and capital gains, if any. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying equity securities and financing rate payable from the Counterparty. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
M. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
N. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |

For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.25%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.62%, 2.37%, 1.87%, 1.37%, 1.37% and 1.37%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $126,518 and reimbursed class level expenses of $74,650, $15,170, $231, $62,143, $20 and $245 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
22 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $26,343 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $898 and $4,625 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $381.
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. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,597,598 | | | $ | — | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 53,030 | | | | — | |
Total distributions | | $ | 4,650,628 | | | $ | — | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | $ | 61,992 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 8,339,718 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (6,059 | ) |
Late-Year ordinary loss deferrals | | | (39,733 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 159,726,344 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 168,082,262 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. 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 does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.
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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $320,063,626 and $219,206,454, 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.

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 17,127,720 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (8,788,002 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 8,339,718 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $158,127,478.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of swap agreement income and net operating losses, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $7,333,828, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $33,161,220 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $25,827,392. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

27 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets, and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period December 17, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.49%, 2.24%, 1.74%, 1.24%, 1.24% and 1.24% for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.35, $11.03, $8.58, $6.12, $6.12 and $6.12 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.56, $11.34, $8.82, $6.29, $6.29 and $6.29 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
29 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one and two calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Alternative Equity Market Neutral Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and two year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and two year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s
30 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted how the Fund’s rate compared to the effective sub-adviser fee rate of one fund sub-advised by Invesco Advisers.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts. These additional services include provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets for other client accounts. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that advance notice of redemptions is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. The Board did note that sub-advisory fee rates charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts
tended to be more comparable, reflecting a similar scope of services.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds . The Board noted that the Fund had not been in operation long enough to become profitable and that Invesco Advisers was continuing to take entrepreneurial risk in operating the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board;
and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, |
but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.
∎ Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, each of the asset classes in which the Fund invests provided positive contributions to Fund performance, and the Fund at NAV ended the reporting period in positive territory. The Fund invests in derivatives, such as swaps and futures, which are expected to correspond to the performance of US and international fixed income, equity and commodity markets. The strategic portion of the investment process involves first selecting representative assets for each asset class from a universe of more than 50 assets. Next, we seek to construct the portfolio so that an approximately equal amount of risk comes from our equity, fixed income and commodity allocations. Tactical adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio are then made on a monthly basis to try and take advantage of short-term market dynamics.
The Fund’s exposure to global government bonds, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, led results for the reporting period. A combination of equity market volatility early in the reporting period, concerns over the fallout of the Brexit vote (the UK referendum on whether to remain a part of, or leave, the European Union) in early summer and generally tepid economic data throughout the reporting period created demand for perceived safe haven assets.1 Within the government bond asset class, UK gilts were the top performers on Brexit fears and the resulting accommodative policy response from central banks. German bunds also benefited from these events, although these events also drove their yields into negative territory. The price of Canadian government bonds rallied as the Canadian central bank cut interest rates twice to combat the economic slowdown complicated by weak
energy prices. US Treasury prices rallied on market volatility early in the reporting period and “flight to safety” demand in the wake of Brexit, but they surrendered some of those gains late in the reporting period on the incessant jawboning from the US Federal Reserve on the likelihood of a rate increase. Despite engaging in a policy of negative interest rates, Japanese government bonds also posted modest gains for the reporting period. Tactical positioning in government bonds bolstered Fund results due to general overweight exposure to the asset class for the fiscal year.
Exposure to commodities, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, also provided positive returns for the Fund for the fiscal year as gains in agriculture, precious metals and energy outweighed losses in industrial metals. Agriculture was the Fund’s leading performer during the fiscal year due to gains in sugar, soybeans, soymeal, cotton and coffee. Generally speaking, supply shortages due to inclement weather and reduced plantings was the primary catalyst for higher prices. Strategic positioning in precious metals was also favorable as gains in silver outpaced gold. Precious metals prices benefited from a combination of volatility in equity prices in the reporting period as well as the inability of central banks to implement interest rate increases. Tactical exposure to precious metals detracted from Fund performance. Energy prices struggled with high levels of oversupply for much of the reporting period, leading to marked volatility in crude oil and distillates. The Fund’s ability to tactically adjust exposures helped to offset weak performance across the energy complex; the Fund had underweight exposure to energy for most of the fiscal year. The result was a gain from the combined exposure to energy. Industrial metals prices detracted from Fund results as

copper prices declined more than aluminum prices rose. Tactical industrial metals exposure detracted from Fund results due to underweight exposure to aluminum.
Performance across developed equity markets was bifurcated though a contributor to Fund results. Perhaps surprisingly, given the angst leading up to and after the Brexit vote, UK equities led results in the asset class; US small caps and large caps and Hong Kong equities made lesser contributions to Fund performance. European and Japanese equities detracted from Fund performance as a combination of weak economic data and concerns over whether the exceptionally accommodative policy response from the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan was having any of the intended effects on growth and inflation pressured share prices. Tactical exposure to equities helped boost the Fund’s return owing to a combination of underweight exposure during the volatility of the first quarter of 2016 and general overweight exposure when equities recovered in subsequent quarters.
Please note that our strategy is principally implemented with derivative instruments that include futures, commodity-linked notes and total return swaps. Therefore, all or most of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

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. 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.27%, 2.02%, 2.02%,
1.52%, 1.02%, 0.99% and 0.89%, 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.32%, 2.07%, 2.07%, 1.57%, 1.07%, 1.04% and 0.94%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y,
Class R5 and Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near, at or below zero. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
∎ | | Commodities tax risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such adverse action, the income of |
| | the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the tax treatment of the Fund’s use of commodity-linked notes or the Subsidiary (which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategy. |
∎ | | Commodity-linked notes risk. In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of principal, counterparty risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ “economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the Fund to the extent it invests in such notes. |
∎ | | Commodity risk. The Fund may have investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, |
| | war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/ or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance may be linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. |
∎ | | Correlation risk. Because the Fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across three asset classes and, within each asset class, across different countries and investments, to the extent either the asset classes or the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser, the Fund’s risk allocation process may result in magnified risks and loss instead of balancing (reducing) the risk of loss. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at |

| an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments rather than direct investments in stocks/bonds. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, |
| social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Exchange-traded funds risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange- traded fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility. |
∎ | | Exchange-traded notes risk. Exchange-traded notes are subject to credit risk, counterparty risk, and the risk that the value of the exchange-traded note may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating. The value of an exchange-traded note may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the exchange-traded note, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying |
| | market, changes in the applicable interest rates, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying market or assets. The Fund will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by an exchange-traded note in which it invests. For certain exchange-traded notes, there may be restrictions on the Fund’s right to redeem its investment, which is meant to be held until maturity. |
∎ | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |

continued from page 9
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Because the Fund’s investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which |
| | may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
∎ | | Subsidiary risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in the prospectus, is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in the prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. |
∎ | | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |
∎ | | Volatility risk. Although the Fund’s investment strategy targets a specific volatility level, certain of the Fund’s investments may appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series 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 consolidated 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.
16 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund I Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return with a low to moderate correlation to traditional financial market indices.
The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 consolidated financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
17 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
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 consolidated financial statements are released to print.
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary, are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. 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. | Structured Securities — The Fund may invest in structured securities. Structured securities are a type of derivative security whose value is determined by reference to changes in the value of underlying securities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (“reference instruments”). Most structured securities are fixed-income securities that have maturities of three years or less. Structured securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates) and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument. |
18 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instruments. In addition to the credit risk of structured securities and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Changes in the daily value of structured securities are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the structured securities mature or are sold, the Fund recognizes a realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
J. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would
19 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
N. | Other Risks — The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in exchange-traded funds and commodity-linked derivatives. The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives and other securities, such as exchange-traded notes, that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodity markets. The Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. |
O. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
P. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser less the amount paid by the Subsidiary to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0 | .95% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .925% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .90% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .875% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .85% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .825% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .80% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .775% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.87%.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with the Adviser whereby the Adviser provides investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Subsidiary pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets as set forth in the table above.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of the Fund directly, but are fees and expenses, including management fees of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. As a result, the total annual fund operating expenses after expense reimbursement may exceed the expense limits above. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
20 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $3,941,809.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Consolidated 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $324,434 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $47,646, $3,299 and $107,538 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 the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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.

21 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $16,087.
NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
23 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 9—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 304,855,039 | | | $ | 424,395,963 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 111,430,320 | | | | 238,503,716 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 416,285,359 | | | $ | 662,899,679 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 276,797,250 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 128,434,909 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — investments | | | (9,328,928 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (33,710,007 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (681,872 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 5,003,987,990 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 5,365,499,342 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.
NOTE 10—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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $787,675,050 and $541,935,146, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $1,021,245,969 and $1,789,366,250, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 2,183,431 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (11,512,359 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities | | $ | (9,328,928 | ) |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $5,065,801,226.
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of income and distributions from the Subsidiary, futures contracts, swap agreements and return of capital distributions, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $218,460,561 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by 218,460,561. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

26 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and its subsidiary (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 May 1, 2016, through October 31, 2016.
In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary because the underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times. Estimated underlying fund expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the underlying funds and are deducted from the value of the underlying funds the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that the Fund bears indirectly are included in the Fund’s total return.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by the Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
28 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) Series is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.

The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Alternative Global Macro Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period , the second quintile for the three year period and the first quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers noted that recent
29 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
underperformance was a result of strategic commodity allocations. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the rate of one mutual fund. The Board also noted how the Fund’s rate compared to the effective sub-adviser fee rate of three funds sub-advised by Invesco Advisers.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts. These additional services include provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets for other client accounts. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that advance notice of redemptions is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. The Board did
note that sub-advisory fee rates charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts tended to be more comparable, reflecting a similar scope of services.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that
these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market |
indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. |
Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, was a strong period for commodities, as gains in agriculture and precious metals outweighed losses in energy and industrial metals. The Fund’s ability to tactically adjust exposure to assets helped Fund performance with gains in agriculture and energy offsetting losses in industrial metals and precious metals. The Fund’s performance, at NAV, was positive for the reporting period. The Fund invests with a long bias in four commodity complexes – agriculture, energy, industrial metals and precious metals – and makes tactical adjustments on a monthly basis to try and take advantage of short-term market dynamics. Tactical positioning within energy, industrial metals and precious metals obtained through the use of swaps and futures contributed to Fund performance for the reporting period.
Agriculture was the Fund’s leading performer during the fiscal year due to gains in sugar, soybeans, soymeal, cotton and
coffee. Sugar was the top performer within the agriculture complex as a decline in Brazilian production was further reduced by bad weather, resulting in supply shortages. Soybeans and soymeal prices spiked during the middle of the fiscal year due to heavy rains in Argentina and expectations for a dry growing season in the US. Coffee prices rose as drought conditions across key growing regions in South America and Asia raised concerns over shortages, while cotton prices rose as years of depressed prices caused farmers to reduce plantings. Tactical agriculture exposure, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, was favorable due to an overweight position in sugar.
Strategic positioning in precious metals was also favorable for Fund performance as gains in silver outpaced gold. Precious metals prices began to rise in 2016 as stock market volatility spiked after the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) increased interest rates despite a sluggish global economy
and as interest rates in Japan and Europe crossed into negative territory. Then in June, the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union led to further price increases as uncertainty roiled global financial markets. Precious metals prices were also supported as the Fed slowed the expected pace of interest rate increases. The Fund’s tactical exposure to precious metals, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, detracted from results due to losses in both gold and silver.
Strategic positioning in energy was the largest detractor from Fund performance, led by declines in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, unleaded gasoline and Brent crude. Oil prices continued to be pressured by a strong US dollar and rising supplies. Restrictions on supply output were constrained by overleveraged producers in the US and OPEC’s efforts to maintain market share. Further compounding the oversupply issue was Russia, whose production hit a post-Soviet high in September 2016.1 The Fund’s tactical energy exposure, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, was a contributor to Fund performance due to our complex-wide underweight positions relative to the strategic allocation that were most beneficial in WTI, natural gas and Brent crude.
Industrial metals prices detracted from Fund results as copper prices declined while aluminum gained. Declines in copper prices were attributable to a strong US dollar, excess supplies and slowing global economic growth, especially in China. Despite choppy price action, aluminum gained as producers continued to curtail production, resulting in tighter supplies. Tactical industrial metals exposure, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, detracted from Fund results due to our underweight exposure relative to the strategic allocation to aluminum.

4 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
Please note that our strategy is principally implemented with derivative instruments that include futures, total return swaps and commodity linked-notes. Therefore, all or most of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Class(es) since Inception
Fund and Index data from 11/30/10

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including management fees. Results for Class B shares are calculated as if a hypothetical
shareholder had liquidated his entire investment in the Fund at the close of the reporting period and paid the contingent deferred sales charges, if applicable. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group,
if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The Bloomberg Commodity Index is an unmanaged index designed to be a highly liquid and diversified benchmark for the commodity futures market. |
∎ | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
∎ | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
∎ | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |

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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6
shares was 1.60%, 2.35%, 2.35%, 1.85%, 1.35%, 1.20% and 1.10%, 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.64%, 2.39%, 2.39%, 1.89%, 1.39%, 1.24% and 1.14%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC
on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Commodities tax risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the tax treatment of the Fund’s use of commodity-linked notes or the Subsidiary (which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategy. |
∎ | | Commodity-linked notes risk. In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of principal, counterparty risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because the values of |
| | the underlying investments to which they are linked are themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ “economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the Fund to the extent it invests in such notes. |
∎ | | Commodity risk. The Fund will concentrate its investments in commodities markets and will therefore have investment exposure to the commodities markets and one or more sectors of the commodities markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments, or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance is linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. |
∎ | | Correlation risk. Because the Fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across the four sectors of the commodities market and, within each commodity sector, across different commodities, to the extent either the sectors of the commodities markets or the selected commodities become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser the Fund’s risk allocation process may result in magnified risks and loss instead of balancing (reducing) the risk of loss. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value |

8 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments rather than direct investments in stocks/bonds.
∎ | | Exchange-traded funds risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure |
that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility.
∎ | | Exchange-traded notes risk. Exchange-traded notes are subject to credit risk, counterparty risk, and the risk that the value of the exchange-traded note may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating. The value of an exchange-traded note may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the exchange-traded note, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market, changes in the applicable interest rates, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying market or assets. The Fund will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by an exchange-traded note in which it invests. For certain exchange-traded notes, there may be restrictions on the Fund’s right to redeem its investment, which is meant to be held until maturity. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Because the Fund’s investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can |
be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
∎ | | Subsidiary risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in the prospectus, is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in the prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. |
∎ | | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series 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 consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund III Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return.
The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 consolidated financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they
15 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
16 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
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 consolidated financial statements are released to print.
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary, are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. 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. | Structured Securities — The Fund may invest in structured securities. Structured securities are a type of derivative security whose value is determined by reference to changes in the value of underlying securities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (“reference instruments”). Most structured securities are fixed-income securities that have maturities of three years or less. Structured securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates) and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument. |
Structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instruments. In addition to the credit risk of structured securities and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Changes in the daily value of structured securities are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the structured securities mature or are sold, the Fund recognizes a realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
J. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
17 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
K. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
L. | Other Risks — The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in exchange-traded funds and commodity-linked derivatives. The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives and other securities, such as exchange-traded notes, that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodity markets. The Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. |
M. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
N. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser less the amount paid by the Subsidiary to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 1 | .05% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 1 | .025% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 1 | .00% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .975% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .95% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .925% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .90% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .875% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.03%.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with the Adviser whereby the Adviser provides investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Subsidiary pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets as set forth in the table above.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
18 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or reimbursements (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of the Fund directly, but are fees and expenses, including management fees, of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. As a result, the total annual fund operating expenses after expense reimbursement may exceed the expense limits above. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $579,737.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Consolidated 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $12,606 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $5,046, $126 and $201 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 the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
19 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 6—Investments in Other Affiliates
The 1940 Act defines an “affiliated person” as an issuance in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer. The following is a summary of the investments in other affiliates for the year ended October 31, 2016.

NOTE 7—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $599.
NOTE 8—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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 9—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 10—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
There were no ordinary income and long-term gain distributions paid for the years ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2016.
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 22,996,145 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 4,239,023 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 1,042,423 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (132,362 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (48,666,376 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 840,838,755 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 820,317,608 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and partnerships adjustments.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
22 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 40,438,997 | | | $ | 8,227,379 | | | $ | 48,666,376 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 11—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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $127,563,340 and $54,453,017, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $137,828,396 and $293,309,704, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 8,631,887 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (4,392,864 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 4,239,023 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $769,091,806.
NOTE 12—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of distributions from subsidiary, swap agreement income and return of capital distributions, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was increased by $34,864,904, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $34,588,400 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $276,504. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund and its subsidiary (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 May 1, 2016, through October 31, 2016.
In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary because the underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times. Estimated underlying fund expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the underlying funds and are deducted from the value of the underlying funds the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that the Fund bears indirectly are included in the Fund’s total return.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by the Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Commodities General Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and five year periods and the second quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.

C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates do not manage other mutual funds with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board did consider the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts that are managed using an investment process substantially similar to the investment process use for the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts. These additional services include provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets for other client accounts. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that advance notice of redemptions is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. The Board did note that sub-advisory fee rates charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts tended to be more comparable, reflecting a similar scope of services.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly
by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.

Letters to Shareholders

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to |
sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China and falling oil prices. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains amid concerted central bank commitments to very loose monetary policy. All major global stock indexes experienced steep declines again in June after UK voters opted to leave the European Union. After the initial shock of the UK vote, stocks made a strong recovery, regaining most of their losses as fears of a shock to consumer confidence never materialized.
Within this environment, emerging markets delivered strong performance in 2016, comfortably outperforming developed
markets. This strength was driven by improved economic conditions and stabilized corporate earnings. The macro-level strengthening included lower inflation, stable commodity prices, improved current account balances and a reversal in currency depreciation.
Regardless of the macroeconomic environment, we remain focused on our bottom-up investment approach of identifying attractive companies that fit our earnings, quality and valuation (EQV) process.
On a geographic basis, the Fund’s holdings in Brazil, Hong Kong, Russia, Indonesia and South Korea delivered double-digit gains, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in each of these markets and contributing favorably to both absolute returns and returns versus the broad market/style-specific benchmark. In contrast, Fund holdings in Israel, Nigeria, Mexico and Turkey delivered negative returns and detracted from both absolute and relative Fund performance.
The Fund’s overweight exposure to Brazil, one of the reporting period’s strongest markets, contributed to performance relative to the Fund’s broad market/style-specific benchmark. Despite Brazil’s long, deep economic contraction, the Brazilian market rebounded strongly during the reporting period and the country saw renewed optimism on the strength of a change in government, a new economic team and signs of a shift in economic policy. Despite the political situation in Brazil, our strategy, as always, was to focus on underlying EQV company fundamentals. For example, Fund holdings BM&FBOVESPA, Fleury and CETIP, all reported strong earnings growth in 2015 despite Brazil’s deep recession and steep decline in Brazilian equity market earnings.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s holdings in the financials, health care, telecommunication services, real estate and consumer staples sectors outperformed the sectors of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and contributed favorably to both relative and absolute returns. The Fund’s holdings in the energy and utilities sectors, however, underperformed those of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and were among the most significant detractors from the Fund’s performance versus the broad market/style-specific index.
The Fund’s cash exposure, in a rising-market environment, was a meaningful detractor from Fund performance versus the broad market/style-specific index. It is important to note that, similar to the Fund’s sector and regional allocations, cash is a residual of our bottom-up investment process and not the result of any “top-down” tactical asset allocation or risk-management allocation decision. During the reporting period, cash exposure rose for a couple of reasons. First, it was a function of us taking profits in some sharply rallying names. Second, in

a growth-starved market the highest quality names continued to trade at elevated valuations.
From an individual securities perspective, BM&FBOVESPA, one of the world’s largest stock exchanges, was the top contributor to Fund performance for the reporting period. BM&F’s stock was significantly depressed in 2015 due to Brazil’s political and economic turmoil, but the stock price rose after the ousting of Brazil’s President Rousseff and the expectation that this change could allow for reforms and a more orthodox economic policy. This high quality company enjoyed monopoly status in its key businesses and its process of acquiring Brazil’s largest security registration business is expected to add stability to BM&F’s earnings.
In contrast, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries was the largest detractor from Fund performance for the reporting period. Teva is an Israel-based company that manufactures and sells generic, proprietary and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. Over the reporting period, Teva was affected by a revaluation of the pharmaceutical sector and a delay in the closing of its acquisition of Allergan’s (not a Fund holding) generics business.
In terms of activity over the reporting period, most of it was on the sell side. We trimmed several of our financials and information technology names, taking some profits. Weakening fundamentals led us to sell certain portfolio holdings including BRF SA and CNOOC. Only two new holdings were added to the Fund’s portfolio during the reporting period – South-Korean internet content service operator NAVER and China-based automotive glass manufacturer Fuyao Glass Industry Group.
As always, regardless of the macroeconomic environment, we remain focused on a bottom-up investment approach of identifying attractive companies that fit our EQV-focused investment process. We continue to look for high-quality companies that exhibit the following characteristics: strong organic growth; high returns on capital; pricing power; strong balance sheets; cash generation; and reasonable valuations. In addition, we continue to favor companies that are able to consistently generate cash during weak economic environments. We believe that this balanced EQV-focused approach may help deliver attractive returns over the long term.

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, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.44%, 2.19%, 2.19%, 1.19%, 1.04% and 1.01%, 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, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.45%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.20%, 1.05% and 1.02%, 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, Class R5 and Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Invesco Developing Markets Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of October 31, 2016, and is based on total net assets. |
∎ | | Unless otherwise noted, all data provided by Invesco. |

About share classes
∎ | | Class B shares may not be purchased for new or additional investments. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class Y shares are available to only certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares are primarily intended for employer sponsored retirement and benefit plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund |
| | sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer |
| | or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
∎ | | Growth investing risk. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to the issuing company’s earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result, they tend to be more sensitive to changes in, or investors’ expectations of, the issuing company’s earnings and can be more volatile. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than |

| those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Developing Markets Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
As of the open of business on February 26, 2016, the Fund has reopened public sales of its shares to all investors.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 to Class A shares.
14 Invesco Developing Markets Fund
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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
15 Invesco Developing Markets Fund
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the
16 Invesco Developing Markets Fund
contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0 | .935% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .91% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .885% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .86% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .835% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .81% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .785% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .76% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.88%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or reimbursements (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $291,636.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

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 October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $131,131,712 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $457,243,511, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $7,966.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.

NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 27,005,560 | | | $ | 44,260,569 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | 62,165,266 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 27,005,560 | | | $ | 106,425,835 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 23,853,646 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 228,932,422 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (323,981 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (380,793 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (267,992,812 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 2,479,001,775 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 2,463,090,257 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and passive foreign investment companies.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
October 31, 2017 | | $ | 47,338,828 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 47,338,828 | |
Not subject to expiration | | | 11,714,863 | | | | 208,939,121 | | | | 220,653,984 | |
| | $ | 59,053,691 | | | $ | 208,939,121 | | | $ | 267,992,812 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |

NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, foreign currency transactions and foreign capital gain taxes, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $2,241,046, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $24,062,513 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $21,821,467. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Developing Markets Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Developing Markets Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Developing Markets Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fourth quintile for the three year period and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and above the performance of the Index for the five year period. Invesco Advisers noted that weak performance since the third quarter of 2014 is expected to be a drag on medium term performance. The Trustees also
24 Invesco Developing Markets Fund
reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the rate of one such mutual fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory
and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from
these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly |
recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

2 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
| | | | | | |

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett
Independent Chair

3 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
| | | | |

Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report. | |
Fund vs. Indexes Total returns, 10/31/15 to 10/31/16, at net asset value (NAV). Performance shown does not include applicable contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) or front-end sales charges, which would have reduced performance. | |

JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Indexq (Broad Market Index)* | | | 11.70 | |
JP Morgan Government Bond Index - Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Indexq (Former Broad Market/Style-Specific Index)* | | | 11.04 | |

*The Fund has elected to use the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index and the 3-Month USD Libor Index as its broad market index and its style-specific index, respectively, rather than the JP Morgan Government Bond Index - Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Index because the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index and the 3-Month USD Libor Index more closely reflect the performance of the types of securities in which the Fund invests. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Effective February 26, 2016 the Fund changed its name from Invesco Emerging Markets Local Currency Debt Fund to Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund. The change reflects the Fund’s
change in strategy, which seeks to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle through investments in emerging market hard and local currency denominated sovereign and corporate debt securities.

Data presented here are as of October 31, 2016.
Emerging market debt securities posted strong returns during the reporting period. Hard currency sovereign debt securities returned 11.7%, corporate debt securities returned 9.2% and local currency debt securities returned 11.0%.1 Price appreciation for dollar-denominated debt securities was driven by a combination of a rally in US Treasuries and credit spread tightening. US 10-year Treasuries ended the fiscal year yielding 1.84%, 32 basis points lower than a year prior.2 (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) Emerging market sovereign spreads tightened 53 basis points during the reporting period to end at 3.40%, despite a lower overall credit rating for the hard currency index.1 Corporate spreads also tightened by 90 basis points, while corporate credit saw an overall improvement in ratings.1 The rally in US Treasuries reflected expectations for lower US growth and inflation going forward, while the tightening in emerging market spreads was largely the result of sustained flows into the asset class, driven by a global hunt for yield in a low yield environment. For local currency debt securities, returns were driven primarily by high local carry, while both price appreciation in local terms and currency appreciation versus the US dollar and euro contributed to Fund performance during the fiscal year.
Emerging market bonds had a difficult first couple of months of the fiscal year, due to weakness in oil and soft economic data in the US and China, which drove commodity prices lower. However, the asset class rebounded strongly starting in February, posting positive returns in seven of the following eight months. In March, reflationary policies led by major central banks, further supported by fiscal stimulus measures in China, supercharged local emerging markets, which posted a 9.1% return for the month.1 During the reporting period, emerging markets debt benefited tremendously from dovish global central bank policies, macroeconomic improvements, a recovery in oil prices and improved emerging market funds inflows. The asset class performed well during the reporting period despite global volatility resulting from events such as Brexit, the June 2016 referendum in which UK voters opted to leave the European Union.

were nearly $38 billion.3 October 2016 saw a sell-off in emerging market debt securities driven by higher global yields and a fall in oil prices.
For both corporate and sovereign debt securities, high yield bonds outperformed investment grade bonds for the reporting period.1 All regions had positive returns, led by Latin America and Africa, while the Middle East lagged. The top-performing sovereigns for the reporting period included Venezuela, Ecuador, Zambia and Argentina, while Mozambique, Belize and Turkey were the worst performers. For corporate debt securities, transport and metals and mining were the top-performing sectors for the reporting period, while the diversified and financial sectors lagged. For local currency denominated debt securities, the top-performing countries during the reporting period were Brazil and Indonesia, while Mexico and Poland were the only two countries to post negative returns.
The Fund generated its return during the reporting period with significantly less volatility than the underlying emerging markets themselves. The Fund’s returns were generated from exposure to US dollar-denominated sovereign and corporate debt securities, in addition to local market interest rate exposures. Currency exposures, led by the negative carry from short emerging market foreign exchange positions, detracted from Fund performance.
From a regional and sector perspective, contributors to Fund performance were diversified and broad based. Key investment themes included meaningful exposure to Latin American assets that benefited from rising commodity prices. Brazilian and Mexican corporate and local currency debt were significant contributors to the Fund’s performance. Russian corporate credit exposure was an outsized contributor to Fund performance, benefiting from rising oil prices and the paying down of external debt. Central American sovereign credit exposure benefited from the US duration rally and interest from market participants given the bonds’ attractive relative valuations.
Our key emerging market foreign currency investment theme centered on the rich valuations in Asian currency markets most impacted by an anticipated depreciation of the Chinese renminbi. This has proven slower to develop than anticipated. In southern Asia, the Fund benefited significantly from its exposure to Indian and Indonesian local bond markets, on an unhedged basis.
At the close of the reporting period, medium-term emerging market fundamentals remained challenged as debt levels continued to rise, although near-term economic activity stabilized. In our view, the potential for increased growth in China in 2017 could support commodity-exporting emerging markets, with Latin America a more likely beneficiary. We see prospective tightening in financial conditions as a threat to these outcomes. Valuations remained fair to slightly rich at the close of the reporting period, yet we believe continued portfolio flows may provide ongoing price support as institutional investors increasingly allocate to the asset class.
Please note that the Fund’s strategy is partly implemented with derivative instruments that include futures, forwards, options and swaps. Therefore, some of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
During the reporting period, the Fund has elected to use the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index and the 3-Month USD Libor Index as its broad market index and its style-specific index, respectively, rather than the JP Morgan Government Bond Index - Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Index because the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index and the 3-Month USD Libor Index more closely reflect the performance of
the types of securities in which the Fund invests. Because this is the first reporting period since we have adopted the new index, SEC guidelines require that we compare performance to both the old and new indexes.
The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including management fees. Results for Class B shares are calculated as if a hypothetical shareholder had liquidated his entire investment in the Fund at the close of the
reporting period and paid the contingent deferred sales charges, if applicable. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

| a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |

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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6
shares was 1.24%, 1.99%, 1.99%, 1.49%, 0.99%, 0.99% and 0.99%, 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.89%, 2.64%, 2.64%, 2.14%, 1.64%, 1.34% and 1.33%, 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 4.25% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
∎ | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near, at or below zero. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
∎ | | Commodities tax risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected |
| by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the tax treatment of the Fund’s use of the Subsidiary (which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategy. |
∎ | | Commodity risk. The Fund may have investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/ or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance may be linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. |
∎ | | Credit linked notes risk. Risks of credit linked notes include those risks associated with the underlying reference obligation including but not limited to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, default risk and, in some cases, foreign currency risk. An investor in a credit |
| linked note bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer of the credit linked note will default or become bankrupt and not make timely payment of principal and interest of the structured security. Credit linked notes may be less liquid than other investments and therefore harder to dispose of at the desired time and price. In addition, credit linked notes may be leveraged and, as a result, small changes in the value of the underlying reference obligation may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation |

| to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than mutual funds that do not use derivative instruments or that use derivative instruments to a lesser extent than the Fund to implement their investment strategies. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign currency tax risk. If the US Treasury Department were to exercise its authority to issue regulations that |
| exclude from the definition of “qualifying income” foreign currency gains not directly related to the Fund’s business of investing in securities, the Fund may be unable to qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event, the Fund’s Board of Trustees may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or other action. |
∎ | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse |
| | economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
∎ | | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Non-diversification risk. The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. A change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund (the “Fund”), formerly Invesco Emerging Market Local Currency Debt Fund, is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series 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 consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Cayman Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 consolidated financial statements.
15 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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.
16 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
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 consolidated financial statements are released to print.
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary, are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. 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. | Structured Securities — The Fund may invest in structured securities. Structured securities are a type of derivative security whose value is determined by reference to changes in the value of underlying securities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (“reference instruments”). Most structured securities are fixed-income securities that have maturities of three years or less. Structured securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates) and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument. |
Structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instruments. In addition to the credit risk of structured securities and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Changes in the daily value of structured securities are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the structured securities mature or are sold, the Fund recognizes a realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
J. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
17 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | Call Options Written — The Fund may write call options. A covered call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security or foreign currency at the stated exercise price during the option period. An uncovered call option exists without the ownership of the underlying security. Written call options are recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written covered call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written covered call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing an uncovered call option is that the Fund may incur significant losses if the value of the written security exceeds the exercise price of the option. |
N. | Put Options Purchased and Written — The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option’s underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund’s resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased. |
O. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits |
18 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
| regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
A total return swap is an agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income generated and capital gains, if any. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying securities and financing rate payable from the Counterparty. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
19 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
P. | Other Risks — The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in exchange-traded funds and commodity-linked derivatives. The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives and other securities, such as exchange-traded notes, that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodity markets. The Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. |
The Fund is non-diversified and may invest in securities of fewer issuers than if it were diversified. Thus, the value of the Fund’s shares may vary more widely and the Fund may be subject to greater market and credit risk than if the Fund invested more broadly.
Q. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
R. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $500 million | | | 0.75% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.70% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.67% | |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.65% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.75%.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with the Adviser whereby the Adviser provides investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Subsidiary pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets as set forth in the table above.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2018, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.24%, 1.99%, 1.99%, 1.49%, 0.99%, 0.99% and 0.99%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2018. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $188,879 and reimbursed class level expenses of $20,881, $754, $4,343, $1,094, $1,182 and $186 of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
20 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $790 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $7 and $93 from 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 the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets generally. |

NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $205.
NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 9—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Return of capital | | $ | 2,413,189 | | | $ | 2,538,283 | |
25 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 1,034,738 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (455,214 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (24,761 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (2,048,733 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 69,318,856 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 67,824,886 | |
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,048,733 | | | $ | 2,048,733 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 10—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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $147,393,161 and $137,181,622, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,470,915 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (436,177 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,034,738 | |
Cost of investments is the same for tax and financial reporting purposes.
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, net operating loss and return of capital distributions, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was increased by $14,235, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $10,947,677 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $10,961,912. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund and its subsidiary (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmation of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

29 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond 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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

30 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund’s (the Fund) (formerly, Invesco Emerging Market Local Currency Debt Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of
the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board noted that the Fund had recently changed its name, investment strategy and index against which future performance will be compared. As a result, the Board did not consider past performance of the fund to be relevant. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board also noted that comparative information with respect to the Fund’s contractual management fee rate was provided by Broadridge, but with respect to the Fund’s performance universe under its prior investment strategy. The Board did not consider such comparative information to be relevant.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2018 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
31 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
The Board compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board also noted how the Fund’s rate compared to the effective advisory fee of five off-shore funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates.
The Board also considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts. These additional services include provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets for other client accounts. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that advance notice of redemptions is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. The Board did note that sub-advisory fee rates charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts tended to be more comparable, reflecting a similar scope of services.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its
affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries did not make a profit from managing the Fund as a result of expense limitations. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory
fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but |
then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
An equity market rally in November 2015 was offset by negative performance in December, as a late-year crash in oil prices rattled the markets. Also in December, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) followed through on its commitment to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates – its first increase since 2006 – even as the European Central Bank extended its asset purchase program and Japan introduced additional quantitative easing and negative interest rates.
Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China
and falling oil prices. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains amid concerted central bank commitments to very loose monetary policy. As a result, the US dollar fell sharply against the euro and Japanese yen, a development that was largely supportive of oil and stock prices.
All major global stock indexes experienced steep declines again in June after UK voters opted to leave the European Union. Stocks in economically sensitive sectors, including energy and financials, were hardest hit, and investors flocked to the perceived safety of US Treasuries and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
After the initial shock of the UK vote, stocks made a strong recovery, regaining most of their losses as fears of a shock to consumer confidence never materialized. For the remainder of the reporting period,
emerging markets outperformed as the Fed left interest rates unchanged and expectations for an interest rate increase were delayed again.
The Fund stayed true to its process by emphasizing its quality orientation in stock selection. Our stock selection in the consumer discretionary, financials and information technology (IT) sectors made the largest contributions to the Fund’s results versus its style-specific benchmark. Holdings in the health care and industrials sectors detracted from Fund performance for the reporting period. In addition, the Fund’s lack of holdings in the energy sector hampered Fund performance.
From a geographic perspective, stock selection in India, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan were the greatest contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. Conversely, stock selection in South Korea detracted from relative performance.
The largest contributor to Fund performance was Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. During the fiscal year, the company, a parts supplier to the iPhone 7, benefited from a broader rally in technology companies and record profits as demand for new iPhones fueled orders for its processor chips. Also within the Asia Pacific region was Tencent Holdings, which reported strong earnings and revenue growth contributing to Fund performance. In addition, Brazilian drugstore chain Raia Drogasil contributed to Fund performance due to better-than-expected earnings during the reporting period.
Conversely, Kepco Plant Service & Engineering, an integrated electric utility company, was the largest individual detractor from Fund performance. Kepco’s stock was hurt by poor earnings and analyst downgrades. Also detracting from

4 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Fund performance was Phoenix Healthcare Group, a Chinese private hospital company. The stock performed poorly after the announcement that a major shareholder was trimming his position and because investors worried about delays in the company’s acquisition of hospitals. We sold our position in Phoenix Healthcare during the reporting period. In addition, Korean food company Ottogi detracted from Fund performance as the company’s stock price declined due to disappointing earnings.
Relative to its style-specific benchmark, the Fund ended the reporting period with overweight positions in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, financials, industrials and IT sectors, and underweight positions in the health care, materials and utilities sectors.
Geographically, the Fund maintained overweight positions in India, Indonesia, Mexico and Thailand throughout the reporting period. Conversely, the Fund maintained underweight positions in Malaysia and South Africa.
Following our mandate as a conservative cornerstone for our clients’ portfolios, our team continues to seek out attractive risk-return growth-value anomalies with a long-term perspective.

The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase.

The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected |
| | by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. |
| | Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
∎ | | Value investing style risk. A value investing style subjects the Fund to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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”).
13 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s |

| taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0 | .935% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .91% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .885% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .86% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .835% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .81% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .785 | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .76% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.935%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective April 1, 2016, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least March 31, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.54%, 2.29%, 1.79%, 1.29%, 1.29% and 1.29%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to April 1, 2016, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.85%, 2.60%, 2.10%, 1.60%, 1.60% and 1.60%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on March 31, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $155,203 and reimbursed class level expenses of $38,504, $9,833, $4,373, $13,715, $20 and $91 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $6,037 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,274 and $392 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $464,201 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $7,584,483, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $546.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
17 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 137,102 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 50,217 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 1,983,678 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (208 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (18,003 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (5,840,959 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 33,051,227 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 29,225,952 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 4,287,273 | | | $ | 1,553,686 | | | $ | 5,840,959 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $13,507,221 and $12,546,752, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 4,243,529 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (2,259,851 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,983,678 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $27,253,639.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $46,425, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $46,529 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $104. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.33%, 2.08%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 1.08%, and 1.08% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.33%, 2.08%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 1.08% and 1.08%, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.04, $10.99, $8.36, $5.72, $5.72 and $5.72 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $6.75, $10.53, $8.01, $5.48, $5.48 and $5.48 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
22 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund recently began operations and that comparative performance data for only the past four calendar years was available. The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past four calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and in the fourth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one year
23 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
period and below the performance of the Index for the three year period. Invesco Advisers noted that a new co-chief investment officer had been added to the portfolio management team. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least March 31, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was above the rate of one mutual fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from
economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates did not make a profit from managing the Fund as a result of fee and expense waivers. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements
are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and was advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and |
reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the US economy continued to expand. The initial estimate of US gross domestic product (GDP) showed the US economy grew by 2.9% in the third quarter, beating consensus estimates.1 However, annualized GDP is expected to be lower. Employment data were mixed, though the unemployment rate had a surprise uptick from 4.9% in August to 5.0% in September before ending the fiscal year at 4.9%.2 Oil prices traded in a range from the high $20s to the low $50s during the reporting period.3
The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates in December 2015 – its first increase since 2006 – but that was its only increase during the reporting period. Major US stock market indexes posted gains for the reporting period, but they were fairly volatile. Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China, falling oil prices
and uncertainty over Fed policy, including rumors of possible negative interest rates in the US. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains until June when UK voters opted to leave the European Union, sending markets sharply lower once again. Markets again recovered, and major US equity indexes hit record highs during the summer.4 In this environment, investors generally favored the perceived safety of government bonds and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
Before we discuss the Fund’s results during the fiscal year, it is helpful to briefly explain how we manage the Fund for shareholders. We view ourselves as business people buying businesses, and we consider the purchase of a stock as an ownership interest in a business. We strive to develop a proprietary view of a business through in-depth, fundamental research that includes careful financial
statement analysis and meetings with company management. We then seek to purchase businesses whose stock prices are below what we have calculated to be the true value of the company based on its future free cash flows.
Our investment approach focuses on individual businesses rather than market sectors. Therefore, your Fund has little in common with sector weightings of the Fund’s indexes. Select industrials and consumer discretionary stocks were among the largest contributors to Fund performance for the reporting period. Select holdings in the financials and energy sectors were among the largest detractors. Our avoidance of holdings within the utilities and consumer staples sectors also hurt the Fund’s relative performance as these were the best-performing sectors in the Russell Midcap Index for the fiscal year.
Industrials sector holding Orion Group Holdings was the largest contributor to absolute Fund performance during the fiscal year. Orion Marine Group provides a broad range of construction and specialty services both on- and offshore in the continental US, Alaska, Canada and the Caribbean Basin through its heavy civil marine construction and its commercial concrete construction segments. Shares of the company rose after management reported better-than-expected financial results and the company’s business outlook improved.
Consumer discretionary holding Capella Education was also a large contributor to the Fund’s absolute performance. Capella Education is a for-profit education company targeting the online adult learning market. The company is well-positioned to compete in a highly competitive market due to its high-quality offerings and focus on the graduate degree niche. Capella Education’s competency-based education model (which aims to better prepare students for the

real world) and new Flexpath programs (which offers students flexibility and the potential to reduce overall costs) are meaningful differentiators. The company’s share price rose during the fiscal year due to strong financial results, and we sold some of our position before the close of the reporting period.
Financials sector holding Encore Capital Group was the largest detractor from Fund performance for the fiscal year. Encore Capital Group is a leading global provider of debt recovery services. The company purchases portfolios of defaulted credit and seeks repayment that amounts to multiple the amounts of its acquisition costs. As one of the largest companies in the space, Encore Capital Group has established the scale and infrastructure to meet heavy regulatory requirements, a key competitive advantage. The company’s share price declined during the fiscal year due to industry uncertainty and a changing regulatory environment.
Energy sector holding Ultra Petroleum was also a large detractor from the Fund’s absolute performance. Ultra Petroleum is a low-cost natural gas producer in the US. The company’s share price declined during the reporting period due to increased balance sheet risk that resulted from low commodity prices that occurred throughout 2015 and in early 2016. Ultra Petroleum filed for bankruptcy protection in May 2016 and we subsequently sold our position in the company.
During the fiscal year, we made some new investments and added to some of our existing holdings. We also sold several holdings based on valuations and other factors. The Fund’s cash position is a result of our disciplined approach, which compels us to trim and sell holdings when their stock prices reach or exceed our estimation of intrinsic value, as well as only buy new businesses when we can purchase shares at a meaningful discount to our estimation of intrinsic value. We believe any portfolio cash provides us with the opportunity to invest in attractive opportunities as they present themselves.
In a market often driven by short-term factors, we continued to focus on finding quality businesses trading at attractive values relative to what we believe are their long-term prospects. Market volatility during the reporting period allowed us to take advantage of investment opportunities we believe may benefit the Fund in the long term.
While we can never predict future Fund performance, we pledge that we will adhere to our discipline of being business
people who buy businesses – and we will continually strive to upgrade the quality of the Fund’s portfolio.
As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco Endeavor Fund and for sharing our long-term investment perspective.

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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.29%, 2.04%, 2.04%,
1.54%, 1.04%, 0.92% and 0.83%, 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.32%, 2.07%, 2.07%, 1.57%, 1.07%, 0.95% and 0.86%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based
on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Cash/cash equivalents risk. In rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents will negatively affect the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The |
| Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single |
| | issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
∎ | | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |
∎ | | Value investing style risk. A value investing style subjects the Fund to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Endeavor Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of seven different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a
12 Invesco Endeavor Fund
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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, |
13 Invesco Endeavor Fund
| the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $56,643.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $25,526 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $622, $573 and $2,503 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 the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
As of October 31, 2016, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4—Investments in Other Affiliates
The 1940 Act defines an “affiliated person” as an issuance in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer. The following is a summary of the investments in other affiliates for the year ended October 31, 2016.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Value 10/31/2015 | | | Purchases at Cost | | | Proceeds from Sales | | | Change in Unrealized Appreciation | | | Realized Gain (Loss) | | | Value 10/31/2016 | | | Dividend Income | |
Orion Group Holdings, Inc. | | $ | 10,999,464 | | | $ | 604,141 | | | $ | (9,253,740 | ) | | $ | 15,102,077 | | | $ | (4,161,772 | ) | | $ | 13,290,170 | | | $ | — | |
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $2,271.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 8,302,567 | | | $ | 3,648,252 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 36,076,586 | | | | 41,188,086 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 44,379,153 | | | $ | 44,836,338 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | $ | 8,944,569 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 7,818,841 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (17,427 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (594,457 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 240,664,410 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 256,815,936 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and partnership adjustments.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.
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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $72,084,690 and $184,183,052, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 46,131,109 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (38,312,268 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 7,818,841 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $253,482,297.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of partnerships and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $36,348 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $36,348. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

19 Invesco Endeavor Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Endeavor Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Endeavor Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Endeavor Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives a report and this independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees.
The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Canada Ltd. currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s
22 Invesco Endeavor Fund
Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the rate of one off-shore fund advised by Invesco Advisers.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds
attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and was advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | | | |

Philip Taylor | | | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to |
sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
An equity market rally in November was offset by negative performance in December, as a late-year crash in oil prices rattled the markets. Also in December, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) followed through on its commitment to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates – its first increase since 2006 – even as the European Central Bank extended its asset purchase program and Japan introduced additional quantitative easing and negative interest rates.
Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China and falling oil prices. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains amid concerted central bank commitments to
very loose monetary policy. As a result, the US dollar fell sharply against the euro and Japanese yen, a development that was largely supportive of oil and stock prices.
All major global stock indexes experienced steep declines again in June after UK voters opted to leave the European Union. Stocks in economically sensitive sectors, including energy and financials, were hardest hit, and investors flocked to the perceived safety of US Treasuries and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
After the initial shock of the UK vote, stocks made a strong recovery, regaining most of their losses as fears of a shock to consumer confidence never materialized. For the remainder of the reporting period, emerging markets outperformed as the Fed left interest rates unchanged and expectations for an interest rate increase were delayed again.
During the fiscal year, the health care sector experienced significant pressure as US presidential candidates and a series
of press reports focused attention on drug pricing and price increases. This caused a selloff during the fiscal year, particularly in the biotechnology and specialty pharmaceuticals industries.
Overweight exposure to the life science tools and services industry was the largest contributor to the Fund’s relative and absolute return during the fiscal year. Thermo Fisher Scientific, a company that markets scientific instruments and lab equipment, was a strong contributor. Following a number of acquisitions, the company reported increasing margins and strong earnings growth during the reporting period.
The Fund’s drug retail exposure also contributed to relative and absolute performance. Raia Drogasil, a leading Brazilian drugstore chain, was a key contributor during the fiscal year. The company benefited from the rebounding local market as investors welcomed an evolving political backdrop and the potential for leadership change in the government. Raia Drogasil also reported strong revenues and same-store sales growth, which boosted its shares.
Stock selection in the managed health care industry also contributed to the Fund’s relative and absolute performance. During the fiscal year, UnitedHealth Group increased its dividend and reported better-than-expected earnings and an improved outlook for 2017.
Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the biotechnology industry was the largest detractor from Fund performance relative to its style-specific benchmark for the fiscal year; a number of holdings within the industry were key detractors including Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Shire. Both companies declined amid a particularly sharp selloff in biotechnology stocks in the first quarter of 2016.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to and stock selection in the pharmaceuticals industry also detracted from relative

returns. Within the industry, Endo International, Allergan and Teva Pharmaceuticals were the largest detractors.
Specialty pharmaceutical company Endo International was the largest individual detractor from Fund performance. During the reporting period, the company reported weaker-than-anticipated financial results and revised its full-year earnings estimates down significantly from its initial forecast. We reduced our exposure to the company during the reporting period.
Shares of Allergan dropped significantly after Pfizer (also a Fund holding) terminated its proposed merger with the company following a US Treasury Department tax inversion rule change that effectively killed the deal. We maintained our position in Allergan, as our thesis was based on the stand-alone company and was not predicated on the merger.
During the fiscal year, we used currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposure of non-US-based companies held in the Fund. Derivatives were used solely for hedging and not for speculative purposes or leverage. The use of currency forward contracts had a marginally positive impact on the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark.
During the reporting period, we trimmed positions in areas that performed relatively well and reached full valuations, such as large-cap pharmaceuticals, medical devices and health care services. Geographically, we increased our weighting in the United States, as US companies appeared more mispriced than their European counterparts, in our view. At the close of the reporting period, our largest underweight exposure was to Europe. We also maintained substantial overweight exposure to small-cap stocks, and underweight exposure to large-cap companies relative to the style-specific index.
We maintained an underweight position in large-cap pharmaceuticals relative to the style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year; however, the pharmaceuticals industry was the Fund’s largest absolute industry exposure during the reporting period. Our largest industry overweight was biotechnology, an industry in which we believe valuations are attractive, growth is robust, pipelines are strong, and there is pipeline and takeout optionality not priced into the stocks.
We continue to emphasize specialty pharmaceuticals and biotechnology stocks based on their generally robust product portfolios, strong pipelines, and the possibility that many could be targets for acquisition.

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 and Investor Class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Convertible securities risk. The market values of convertible securities are affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of market and issuer risks as apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. |
∎ | | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, |
| | leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities |
| | may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
∎ | | Health care sector risk. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign issuers in the health care sector. The health care sector is subject to significant government regulations, increases or decreases in the cost of medical products and services, and competitive forces that could negatively impact a health care company’s profitability. The health care sector may also be affected by government health care programs. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments |

| prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Health Care Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Investor Class. Class Y and Investor Class shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Investor Class 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not
14 Invesco Global Health Care Fund
listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
15 Invesco Global Health Care Fund
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | 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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Other Risks — The Fund’s performance is vulnerable to factors affecting the health care industry, including government regulation, obsolescence caused by scientific advances and technological innovations. |
The Fund has invested in non-publicly traded companies, some of which are in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky, as the market for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. The Fund could lose its entire investment in these companies. These investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments in privately held venture capital securities are illiquid.

For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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, Class Y and Investor Class shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 1.75% and 2.00% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”), respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $48,683.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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, Class Y and Investor Class shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Investor Class shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $154,369 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $6,575, $1,121 and $9,455 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund incurred $51 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Investments in Other Affiliates
The 1940 Act defines an “affiliated person” as an issuance in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer. The following is a summary of the investments in other affiliates for the year ended October 31, 2016.

(a) | As of October 31, 2016, this security is no longer considered as an affiliate of the fund. |
NOTE 5—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 6—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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,082,357.
NOTE 7—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $15,992.
NOTE 8—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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 9—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 10—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 15,102,427 | | | $ | 279,221 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 232,105,379 | | | | 189,257,250 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 247,207,806 | | | $ | 189,536,471 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,952,596 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 30,731,864 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 263,098,466 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (22,107 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (354,972 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 1,085,954,238 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,382,360,085 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Global Health Care Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Global Health Care Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Global Health Care Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Global Health/Biotechnology Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers noted that a new co-chief investment officer had been named to the portfolio management team. The Trustees also
24 Invesco Global Health Care Fund
reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the effective advisory fee rate of one off-shore fund advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory
and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from
these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and was advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank |
again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
An equity market rally in November was offset by negative performance in December, as a late-year crash in oil prices rattled the markets. Also in December, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) followed through on its commitment to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates – its first increase since 2006 – even as the European Central Bank extended its asset purchase program and Japan introduced additional quantitative easing and negative interest rates.
Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China and
falling oil prices. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains amid concerted central bank commitments to very loose monetary policy. As a result, the US dollar fell sharply against the euro and Japanese yen, a development that was largely supportive of oil and stock prices.
All major global stock indexes experienced steep declines again in June after UK voters opted to leave the European Union. Stocks in economically sensitive sectors, including energy and financials, were hardest hit, and investors flocked to the perceived safety of US Treasuries and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
After the initial shock of the UK vote, stocks made a strong recovery, regaining most of their losses as fears of a shock to consumer confidence never materialized. For the remainder of the reporting period, emerging markets outperformed as the Fed left interest rates unchanged and expectations
for an interest rate increase were delayed again.
In general, global infrastructure stocks – which have a heavy emphasis within the energy and utilities sectors – produced positive returns and outperformed broad market equities during the reporting period. The Fund also produced positive returns, but underperformed its style-specific benchmark, the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index, primarily as a result of market allocation.
Utilities stocks, particularly in the US, experienced strong performance as investors sought yield and perceived safety. A combination of high production levels and weakened demand led to further imbalances in crude oil and natural gas supply and demand, causing energy prices to plunge at the beginning of the fiscal year; crude oil fell from $49 to a low of $28 per barrel, and natural gas fell from $2.25 to a low $1.64 per thousand cubic feet.1 Toward the end of the reporting period, OPEC provided some respite by initiating a limit to production in an effort to stabilize crude prices. Additionally, continued declines in capital expenditures helped reduce natural gas production. Crude oil and natural gas prices ended the reporting period at $48 per barrel and $3.03 per thousand cubic feet, respectively, and energy equities ended the fiscal year in positive territory, in general.1
On an absolute basis, Fund holdings in the midstream services, gas distribution, electric utilities and wireless towers sectors were the largest contributors to Fund performance. Holdings in the ports and rail and the diversified infrastructure sectors were detractors from absolute Fund performance.
Relative to the style-specific benchmark, security selection in and overweight exposure to midstream services, as well as security selection in and an underweight allocation to airports, detracted from Fund performance. Additionally, underweight

exposure to the electric utilities sector and security selection in tolls hurt relative Fund performance. Conversely, security selection in and underweight exposure to the satellites and water sectors were relative performance contributors. Additionally, underweight exposure to ports and rail and security selection within towers added to relative Fund performance.
Top individual contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance included
TransCanada and American Tower. TransCanada is one of the leading energy infrastructure companies, with assets that span North America. During the fiscal year, TransCanada completed the acquisition of Columbia Pipeline Group (not a Fund holding) and entered into an agreement to connect its Houston terminal to Magellan’s (not a Fund holding) Texas delivery system. Also, TransCanada was awarded a contract to build a $500 million natural gas pipeline in Mexico and was awarded a $1.3 billion contract to expand a natural gas transmission system in Canada. TransCanada also reduced its workforce by approximately 10% in an effort to increase efficiencies.
American Tower is an owner/operator of wireless infrastructure and is structured as a real estate investment trust. During the fiscal year, American Tower announced it would acquire controlling interest in Viom Networks (not a Fund holding), India’s largest independent tower company. At the close of the reporting period, we believed tower companies were favorably positioned from a fundamental standpoint, with positive cash flow growth supported by strong demand driven by continued adoption of smartphones.
The top individual detractors from absolute Fund performance were midstream services companies, given volatility in the energy industry during the fiscal year.
Williams Companies received multiple merger proposals during the last two fiscal years. The first, from Energy Transfer Equity (not a Fund holding), was terminated during the current fiscal year; the second, from Enterprise Products Partners (not a Fund holding), was rejected by Williams and later withdrawn. While we do not select investments solely on the possibility of mergers, we believed these proposals to be a testament to the desirability of Williams’ assets and relative pricing.
Kinder Morgan, the largest energy infrastructure company in America, was among the top absolute detractors from Fund performance despite contributing to the Fund’s relative performance. During the fiscal year, Kinder Morgan announced it would cut its quarterly dividend by 75% in an effort to avoid issuing equity in a lower-stock-price environment. It did so to
fund future natural gas project development and to maintain its investment grade credit rating.
At the close of the reporting period, we believed the lifting of the US crude oil export ban would likely be a long-term positive for continued US midstream infrastructure build-out. Growth characteristics for midstream services were relatively attractive, in our view. We believed an anticipated increase in US energy production in 2017 and 2018 would likely be positive for midstream services companies, which tend to be influenced more by the volume, rather than the price, of energy.
At the close of the reporting period, the Fund had underweight exposure to the more regulated infrastructure industries – gas distribution, electric utilities and water – while the Fund had overweight allocations to more competitive and user-pay industries – towers, satellites and midstream services, where growth characteristics remain relatively attractive. In our view, diverging trends in the use of economic stimulus are shaping yield demand and leverage characteristics in individual countries. In general, the Fund remained focused on companies with above-average earnings growth characteristics, sound balance sheets and strategic infrastructure assets that provide a relatively more stable underlying earnings stream.

Principal risks of investing
in the Fund
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation |
| | that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a |

limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
∎ | | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
∎ | | Infrastructure-related companies risk. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the infrastructure industry. Infrastructure-related companies are subject to a variety of risk factors, including costs associated with environmental, governmental and other regulations, high interest costs for capital construction programs, high leverage, the effects of economic slowdowns, surplus capacity, increased competition, fluctuations of fuel prices, the effects of energy conservation policies, unfavorable tax laws or accounting policies, environmental damage, difficulty in raising capital, increased susceptibility to terrorist acts or political actions, and general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure assets. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a |
| | whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | MLP Risk. The Fund invests in securities of MLPs, which are subject to the following risks: |
| – | Limited partner risk. An MLP is a public limited partnership or limited liability company taxed as a partnership under the Code. Although the characteristics of MLPs closely resemble a traditional limited partnership, a major difference is that MLPs may trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market. The risks of investing in an MLP are similar to those of investing in a partnership, including more flexible governance structures, which could result in less protection for investors than investments in a corporation. Investors in an MLP normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amount that the investor has contributed but investors may not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances, creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner, which right would continue after an investor sold its investment in the MLP. |
| – | Liquidity risk. The ability to trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market provides a certain amount of liquidity not found in many limited partnership investments. However, MLP interests may be less liquid than conventional publicly traded securities and, therefore, more difflcult to trade at desirable times and/or prices. |
| – | Interest rate risk. In addition, MLP distributions may be reduced by fees and other expenses incurred by the MLP. MLPs generally are considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. |
| – | General partner risk. The holder of the general partner or managing member interest can be liable in certain circumstances for amounts greater than the amount of the holder’s investment in the general partner or managing member. |
Additionally, if the Fund were to invest more than 25% of its total assets in MLPs that are taxed as partnerships this could cause the Fund to lose its status as regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
∎ | | MLP tax risk. MLPs taxed as partnerships do not pay US federal income tax at the partnership level. A change in current tax law, or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP, however, could result in an MLP being classified as a corporation for US federal income tax purposes, which would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and, as a result, could cause a reduction of the value of the Fund’s investment, and consequently your investment in the Fund and lower income. Each year, the Fund will send you an annual tax statement (Form 1099) to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. If an MLP in which the Fund invests amends its partnership tax return, the Fund will, when necessary, send you a corrected Form 1099, which could, in turn, require you to amend your federal, state or local tax returns. |
∎ | | Non-diversification risk. The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. A change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
14 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust��s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer |
15 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund
| derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Master Limited Partnerships - The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
The Fund is non-diversified and will invest in securities of fewer issues than if it were diversified.
F. | Return of Capital — Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
H. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
I. | 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. |
J. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
K. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net |
16 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund
| unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
L. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .84% | | | | |
Next $2 billion | | | 0 | .80% | | | | |
Next $3.5 billion | | | 0 | .785% | | | | |

For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.84%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.40%, 2.15%, 1.65%, 1.15%, 1.15% and 1.15%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $225,884 and reimbursed class level expenses of $6,188, $576, $75, $7,678, $15 and $129 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of
17 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund
0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,970 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $101 from Class C for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $829,106 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $461,711, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

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. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 147,480 | | | $ | 139,650 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 16,249 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 137,447 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (311 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (4,983 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (580,372 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 10,423,395 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 9,991,425 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 533,512 | | | $ | 46,860 | | | $ | 580,372 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $9,126,194 and $7,051,680, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 329,636 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (192,189 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 137,447 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $10,223,759.
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of partnership reclassifications and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was increased by $4,170, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $4,013 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $157. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period May 2, 2014 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C and Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.28%, 2.03%, 1.53%, 1.03%, 1.03% and 1.03% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.28%, 2.03%, 1.53%, 1.03%, 1.03% and 1.03% for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one calendar year to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Global Infrastructure Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual
24 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund
management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that
Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that although Invesco Advisers received a minimal amount of revenues from advising the Fund, Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries did not make a profit from managing the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money
market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US |
stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

 | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
Bruce Crockett | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
An equity market rally in November 2015 was offset by negative performance in December, as a late-year crash in oil prices rattled the markets. Also in December, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) followed
through on its commitment to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates – its first increase since 2006 – even as the European Central Bank extended its asset purchase program and Japan introduced additional quantitative easing and negative interest rates.
Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China and falling oil prices. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains amid concerted central bank commitments to very loose monetary policy. As a result, the US
dollar fell sharply against the euro and Japanese yen, a development that was largely supportive of oil and stock prices.
All major global stock indexes experienced steep declines again in June after UK voters opted to leave the European Union. Stocks in economically sensitive sectors, including energy and financials, were hardest hit, and investors flocked to the perceived safety of US Treasuries and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
After the initial shock of the UK vote, stocks made a strong recovery, regaining most of their losses as fears of a shock to consumer confidence never materialized. For the remainder of the reporting period, emerging markets outperformed as the Fed left interest rates unchanged and expectations for an interest rate increase were delayed again.
The Fund follows a market neutral strategy, which is designed to produce a portfolio that experiences minimal influence from the return patterns of the general US stock market. As part of the investment process, the Fund evaluates fundamental and behavioral factors to forecast individual securities’ returns and risks and ranks these securities based on their attractiveness relative to industry peers. The Fund then implements its strategy by purchasing highly ranked stocks as long positions and establishing

short positions in the poorly ranked stocks within their respective industries. Given minimal exposure to the market, the offsetting long and short positions generate return and manage risk.
In a market neutral construct, a positive spread between the top- and bottom-ranked stocks (long and short candidates for the portfolio) is intended to lead to outperformance relative to the Citigroup 90-Day Treasury Bill Index. During the fiscal year, the Fund was challenged by macroeconomic influences that likely hindered investor focus on individual stock fundamentals. One of the key catalysts for this behavior was the Fed’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged in mid-February which motivated investors to seek growth, focus less on quality and valuation, and assume higher risk to earn returns. Across most sectors, the Fund generated negative returns but the greatest impact was in the health care, information technology (IT) and energy sectors as these sectors represented the Fund’s highest gross exposure during the fiscal year. The best result was in the telecommunication services sector.
In the health care sector, both the long and short positions moved against us. Our long biotechnology holdings sold off early in the fiscal year as investors took profits and reduced risk given strong returns in 2015, and the potential threat of regulatory action due to skyrocketing drug prices. Later in the fiscal year, a few of the Fund’s short positions rallied off depressed levels due to positive drug development or FDA approval news, as well as acquisition activity in the industry.
In the IT sector, our short holdings outpaced the long holdings across most industries during the fiscal year. The worst results were in the computer electronics and communications equipment industries.
In the energy sector, lower-quality companies with burdensome balance sheets significantly outperformed higher-quality companies with stronger balance sheets during the fiscal year. Consequently, the Fund’s long energy holdings, particularly in the oil and gas exploration industry, failed to outperform the short holdings.
In the telecommunication services sector, both long and short holdings contributed to Fund performance during the fiscal year.
Please note that the Fund may utilize derivative instruments that include equity total return swaps and futures contracts. During the reporting period, the Fund utilized equity total return swaps to efficiently implement its strategy, but did not use futures contracts. The implementation impact of using equity total return swaps is a component of transaction costs. Derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including
management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees; performance
of a market index does not. Performance shown in the chart and table(s) does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.
tion or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns.
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger |
| companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The Citigroup 90-Day Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index representative of three-month Treasury bills. |
∎ | | The Lipper Alternative Equity Market Neutral Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of funds that employ portfolio strategies generating consistent returns in both up and down markets by selecting positions with a total net market exposure of zero. |
∎ | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
∎ | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, |
| and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
∎ | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |
∎ | | Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s. |

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 C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, |
| during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments rather than direct investments in stocks/bonds. |
∎ | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation |
| of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. In particular, there is no guarantee that the portfolio manager’s stock selection process will produce a market neutral portfolio that reduces or eliminates the Fund’s exposure to general US stock market risk, sector or industry-specific risk or market capitalization risk. In addition, the Fund’s market neutral investment strategy will likely cause the Fund to underperform the broader US equity market during market rallies. Such underperformance could be significant during sudden or significant market rallies. |
∎ | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short posi- |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide a positive return over a full market cycle from a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks while seeking to limit exposure to the general risks associated with stock market investing.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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”).
17 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
18 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Cash and Cash Equivalents — For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, currency or credit risk. Such |
19 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
| transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
A total return swap is an agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income generated and capital gains, if any. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying equity securities and financing rate payable from the Counterparty. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
M. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
N. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $10 billion | | | 1.25% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 1.15% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.25%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.62%, 2.37%, 1.87%, 1.37%, 1.37% and 1.37% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”), respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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.
20 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $258,879 and reimbursed class level expenses of $6,724, $930, $25, $12,427, $74 and $102 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $345 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $7 from Class C for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $162,305 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $2,237,978, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 264,268 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 50,264 | | | | 10,645 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 50,264 | | | $ | 274,913 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 1,397,733 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (1,690 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (5,941 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (264,361 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 20,805,553 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 21,931,294 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 264,361 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 264,361 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $17,108,408 and $16,065,667, 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.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,397,733 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $19,747,273.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating loss and excise tax, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $634,783, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $2,204,675 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $1,569,892. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets, and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period December 19, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expense of Class A, Class C and Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.49%, 2.24%, 1.74%, 1.24%, 1.24% and 1.24% for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.48, $11.23, $8.73, $6.23, $6.23 and $6.23 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.56, $11.34, $8.82, $6.29, $6.29 and $6.29 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
27 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one and two calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Alternative Equity Market Neutral Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one period and the second quintile for the two year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and two year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset
28 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco
Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that although Invesco Advisers received a minimal amount of revenues from advising the Fund, Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries did not make a profit from managing the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to
certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following |
the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

2 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
| | | | | | |

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The Fund targets an annual gross return of 5% above three-month US Treasury bills and aims to achieve this with less than half the volatility of global equities (as represented by the MSCI World Index), over a rolling three-year period. The Fund seeks to achieve these targets by investing in good long-term investment ideas (typically 20-30) that are combined through a robust risk-managed
process in a single portfolio. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a positive return or its target return, and an investor may lose money by investing in the Fund. Each idea reflects a fundamental macroeconomic view with regard to asset classes, geographies, currencies or sectors globally that have the potential to deliver a positive return over a two- to three-year time horizon. We then identify what we believe is the best way to implement these ideas. This can include investments

At the beginning of the fiscal year, global equities declined significantly amid concerns about global growth. Later on, global equity markets clawed back a large portion of this decline as US economic indicators proved stronger than expected, which suggested fiscal stimulus and monetary policy were beginning to be reflected in economic activity. Markets were boosted by a pick-up in sentiment toward China, particularly a focus on better-than-expected corporate earnings. This helped commodities, which in turn benefited Australian and emerging market equities. Battered commodity markets also took solace from the improving economic outlook and rallied from multiyear lows, with oil prices rising in spite of major oil-producing nations being unable to reach an output deal.
A number of events troubled European markets during the reporting period, including geopolitical developments in Syria and terrorist attacks. A number of central banks stepped in to soothe the frayed nerves of investors, re-invigorating global equity markets and riskier assets in general. However, markets were disappointed at the scale of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) much-anticipated quantitative easing program, as it took a more conservative approach to boosting its bond-buying program than previously hoped. During the summer of 2016, markets shifted focus toward Brexit, the UK referendum on whether to remain a part of, or leave, the European Union (EU). The market’s reaction to the surprise result was particularly dramatic as

The risk associated with each asset type is calculated by aggregating the independent risk, as of the end of the fiscal period, of each of the Fund’s investment ideas that are included in that asset type. Independent risk is determined by measuring the historical price volatility of the assets or asset classes that comprise the investment idea using a statistical measurement called standard deviation. Standard deviation measures how much historical prices vary from their average over a certain period of time. The risk of each investment idea takes into account the Adviser’s evaluation of the risk dynamics and expected correlation of the components of the investment idea based on historical price movements. Historical price movements may not be representative of future price movements and, therefore, the actual risk of each asset type may be much greater or lower than the values shown. In addition, there are ways to measure risk other than standard deviation which, if used, may have resulted in a different risk allocation. |
2 | The values in this column represent the gross notional amount of the derivative instruments and other investments held by the Fund, including purchased and written options, futures, forwards, swaps and investment companies. The notional amount of a derivative is the nominal or face amount used to calculate payments made on the instrument. The gross notional amount does not reflect any offsetting or netting of long and short positions. The notional amounts of derivatives and other investments denominated in foreign currencies have been adjusted to the U.S. dollar equivalent using spot exchange rates. See the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for a complete list of derivative instruments held by the Fund as of October 31, 2016. |
3 | The percentages in this column were calculated by adding the market value of purchased options and sovereign debt securities, the net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of written options, futures, swaps and forwards, and the net asset value of investments in affiliated issuers held by the Fund. See the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for the complete list of derivative instruments held by the Fund as of October 31, 2016. |
4 | Includes the volatility and variance swaps held by the Fund, the gains and losses on which are driven by the volatility (i.e., the positive and negative changes in value over time) of a particular asset, such as stocks or currencies, and not by the asset itself. |
4 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
participants had generally expected the UK to vote to remain a part of the EU. The “leave” result tapped into latent fears about the solidity and pace of the global economic recovery. Yields on 10-year US Treasuries, German bunds and UK gilts fell to historic lows.1 This “flight to quality” was helped by the immediate actions of the ECB and the UK central bank, which pledged to use monetary policy to counteract any short-term stress. While UK economic data were mixed, they were not as poor as some doomsayers had predicted, and the market’s focus soon shifted from the referendum to the actual implementation of Brexit.
The US Federal Reserve (Fed) finally followed through on its slightly hawkish stance and nudged its benchmark interest rate higher for the first time in almost 10 years.2 While this was interpreted as a vote of confidence in the US economy, the Fed went to great pains to stress that any further increases would be gradual. At the end of the reporting period, the US presidential election was the main focus of market participants.
The largest contributor to Fund performance during the reporting period was our Currency – Japanese Yen vs Korean Won idea, as the idea was a beneficiary of a rally in the yen. The yen’s appreciation was widely interpreted as investors seeking what they perceived as a “safe haven” from market turmoil.3 We favored the yen, a measurably cheap defensive currency, relative to the won, which remains expensive compared to the currencies of Korea’s trading partners.
Our Equity – European Divergence idea also contributed substantially to Fund performance during the reporting period. This idea reflected our belief favoring reasonably valued equities that benefited from a stable balance sheet, a gradual global economic pickup and potential tailwinds from the euro and low oil prices. While European equities declined significantly during the third quarter of 2015 and early in 2016, the hedging and protection strategies within the idea helped offset its market exposure and contributed to Fund performance. The Credit – US High Yield idea contributed during the reporting period as well, given the strength of the corporate bond sector. We implemented this idea through an underlying high yield fund managed by the Atlanta-based Invesco Fixed Income team and adjusted the Fund’s exposure by buying protection through derivatives. We believe this idea provided the Fund’s portfolio with more defensive and selective exposure to corporate debt.
The largest detractor from Fund performance for the reporting period was our Interest Rates – UK idea. The inflation leg of this idea detracted as UK inflation expectations rose to their highest levels
in more than a year after consumer prices exceeded forecasts. The continued weakening of the UK pound due to the outcome of the Brexit referendum also saw inflation expectations rise further.
Our Credit – Selective Credit idea detracted from Fund performance during the reporting period as high yield sold off sharply in the first few months of the reporting period on energy sector concerns. The idea was initially implemented to reflect our credit view broadly until we separated out the US high yield exposure into a stand-alone idea. The subsequent implementation isolated exposure to European investment grade credit through derivatives.
Another idea that detracted was Interest Rates – Yield Compression, which reflected our view that the differences between longer interest rates would narrow between the US, UK and, for part of the reporting period, Japan. This was, in our view, supported by reflationary actions in the UK and Japan versus a potential slowing in the US economy. However, during the reporting period, spreads widened, particularly between the US and UK.
While the Fund is focused on the return and risk attributes of each idea individually and its impact on the other ideas in the Fund, there were some shifts in positioning during the reporting period that can be identified more broadly. Given our expectation for a low growth, low yield environment, we increased the number of total investment ideas in the portfolio over the reporting period as performance expectations generally had to be reduced. We believed this would allow the portfolio to continue to deliver on its dual mandate. Additionally, because broader markets looked less attractive, we also looked to alternative sources of return and income. This included adding the first commodity idea to the portfolio, which was primarily driven by its carry contribution.
Since the Fund’s launch, we have described our central economic thesis as “cautious optimism.” Our central economic thesis, which outlines our two- to three-year view of the world, was reassessed following the Brexit vote and the indiscriminate decline in government bond yields. This has changed somewhat to ”muddling through” as we have recognized potential challenges to global economic growth, including subdued structural growth rates, consumption-led US growth succumbing to headwinds, and further political upheaval endangering the European recovery. We see select opportunities in risk assets but believe further equity and credit market gains rely upon continued policy support. We believe non-market forces, such as political uncertainty, will underpin higher levels of volatility in financial markets.
As indicated throughout this report, our investment ideas make significant use of derivative instruments. Therefore, the performance of the Fund, both positive and negative, can be attributed largely to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Allocation risk. The Fund’s investment performance depends, in part, on how its assets are allocated among the underlying funds or asset classes. The Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the asset classes or the underlying funds in which the Fund invests may be incorrect, causing the Fund to be invested (or not invested) in one or more asset classes or underlying funds at an inopportune time, which could negatively affect the Fund’s performance. |
∎ | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near, at or below zero. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder |
| redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
∎ | | Commodities tax risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the tax treatment of the Fund’s use of commodity-linked notes or the Subsidiary (which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategy. |
∎ | | Commodity-linked notes risk. In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of principal, counterparty risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ “economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the Fund to the extent it invests in such notes. |
∎ | | Commodity risk. The Fund may have investment exposure to the commodities |
markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/ or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance may be linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares.
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |

8 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counter-party risk is the risk that the counter-party to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. The SEC has proposed new regulations related to the use of derivatives and related instruments by registered investment companies. If adopted as proposed, these regulations would limit the Fund’s ability to engage in derivatives transactions and may result in increased costs or require the Fund to modify its investment strategies or to liquidate. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments rather than direct investments in stocks/bonds. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, |
| social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Exchange-traded funds risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility. |
∎ | | Exchange-traded notes risk. Exchange-traded notes are subject to credit risk, counterparty risk, and the risk that the value of the exchange-traded note may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating. The value of an exchange-traded note may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the exchange-traded note, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market, changes in the applicable interest rates, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying market or assets. The Fund will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses |
| borne by an exchange-traded note in which it invests. For certain exchange-traded notes, there may be restrictions on the Fund’s right to redeem its investment, which is meant to be held until maturity. |
∎ | | Foreign currency tax risk. If the US Treasury Department were to exercise its authority to issue regulations that exclude from the definition of “qualifying income” foreign currency gains not directly related to the Fund’s business of investing in securities, the Fund may be unable to qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event, the Fund’s Board of Trustees may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or other action. |
∎ | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
9 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
∎ | | Fund of funds risk. The Fund’s performance depends on that of the underlying funds in which it invests. Accordingly, the risks associated with an investment in the Fund include the risks associated with investments in the underlying funds. The Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. There are risks that the Fund will vary from its target weightings (if any) in the underlying funds, that the underlying funds will not achieve their investment objectives, that the underlying funds’ performance may be lower than their represented asset classes, and that the Fund may withdraw its investments in an underlying fund at a disadvantageous time. |
∎ | | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
∎ | | Investing in the European Union risk. Investments in certain countries in the European Union are susceptible to high economic risks associated with high levels of debt, such as investments in sovereign debt of Greece, Italy and Spain. Separately, the European Union faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the European Union would place its currency and banking system in jeopardy. Efforts of the member states to further unify their economic and monetary policies may increase the potential for the downward movement of one member state’s market to cause a similar effect on other member states’ markets. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Because the Fund’s investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the |
| | Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Non-diversification risk. The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. A change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the Fund more than would occur in a diversified fund. The Fund can also invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one particular investment strategy than if it was diversified, thereby increasing the risk of loss. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
∎ | | Subsidiary risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in the prospectus, is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in the prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. |
∎ | | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |
∎ | | Volatility Risk. Although the Fund’s investment strategy targets a specific volatility level, certain of the Fund’s investments may appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time. |

(j) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level as of October 31, 2016 at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap contract. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit spread markets generally. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund VII Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a positive total return over the long term in all market environments.
36 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Consolidated 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
37 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
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 consolidated financial statements are released to print.
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary, are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
38 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts for investment purposes or to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Call Options Purchased and Written — The Fund may write call options and/or buy call options. Options written by the Fund normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written covered call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written covered call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised.
When the Fund buys a call option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the investment is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current value of the option purchased. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.
M. | Put Options Purchased and Written — The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option’s underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund’s resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of from Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. A risk in buying an option is |
39 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
| that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased. |
N. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index, such as the Consumer Price Index, over the term of the swap, and the other party pays a compounded fixed rate.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund will initially enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated, at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
A volatility swap involves an exchange between the Fund and a Counterparty of periodic payments based on the measured volatility of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other reference asset over a specified time frame. Depending on the structure of the swap, either the Fund’s or the Counterparty’s payment obligation will typically be based on the realized volatility of the reference asset as measured by changes in its price or level over a specified time period, while the other party’s payment obligation will be based on a specified rate representing expected volatility for the reference asset at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different reference asset over a specified time period. The Fund will typically make or lose money on a volatility swap depending on the magnitude of the reference asset’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over a specified time period, rather than general increases or decreases in the price of the reference asset. Volatility swaps are often used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of other investments held by the Fund. Variance swaps are similar to volatility swaps, except payments are based on the difference between the implied and measured volatility mathematically squared.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments
40 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of the Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate, the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of October 31, 2016 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
O. | Other Risks — The Fund is non-diversified and may invest in securities of fewer issuers than if it were diversified. Thus, the value of the Fund’s shares may vary more widely and the Fund may be subject to greater market and credit risk than if the Fund invested more broadly. |
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in exchange-traded funds and commodity-linked derivatives. The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives and other securities, such as exchange-traded notes, that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodity markets. The Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments.
P. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
Q. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $10 billion | | | 1.50% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 1.25% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.50%.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with the Adviser whereby the Adviser provides investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Subsidiary pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets as set forth in the table above.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and a sub-advisory agreement with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management, LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective March 1, 2016, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.65%, 2.40%, 1.90%, 1.40%, 1.40% and 1.40%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to March 1, 2016, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.71%, 2.46%, 1.96%, 1.46%, 1.46% and 1.46%, 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of the Fund directly, but are fees and expenses, including management fees of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. As a result, the total annual fund operating expenses after expense reimbursement may exceed the expense limits above. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives on the Fund’s investments in certain affiliated funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,786,789 and reimbursed class level expenses of $28,491, $14,214, $10, $143,619, $57 and $51 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
41 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Consolidated 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $4,078 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1 and $6,289 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,702,286 | | | $ | 306,514 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 546,005 | | | | 380,474 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 3,248,291 | | | $ | 686,988 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 3,448,659 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 4,170,753 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — investments | | | (7,389,148 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 1,938,971 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (1,338,443 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 220,280,528 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 221,111,320 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.
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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $78,854,669 and $18,243,107, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $7,254,630 and $8,365,095, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 2,611,243 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (10,009,391 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities | | $ | (7,398,148 | ) |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $211,312,541.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and income from derivative investments, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,358,373, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $1,179,699 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $178,674. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(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.

The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that you bear indirectly is included in your Fund’s total return.

NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund will pay an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 1 | .10% |
Next $250 million | | | 1 | .08% |
Next $500 million | | | 1 | .05% |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 1 | .03% |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 1 | .00% |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .98% |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .95% |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .93% |
In addition, effective January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2018, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed in Note 2) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.44%, 2.19%, 1.69%, 1.19%, 1.19% and 1.19%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
48 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund and its subsidiary (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period December 19, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary because the underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times. Estimated underlying fund expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the underlying funds and are deducted from the value of the underlying funds the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that the Fund bears indirectly are included in the Fund’s total return.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.44%, 2.19%, 1.69%, 1.19%, 1.19% and 1.19% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.00%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.75% for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.02, $8.77, $6.28, $3.77, $3.77 and $3.77 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $5.08, $8.87, $6.34, $3.81, $3.81 and $3.81 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Limited currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund was new and compared the Fund’s performance during the past one and two calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Absolute Return Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the first quintile for the two year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the two year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual
51 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts. These additional services include provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets for other client accounts. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that advance notice of redemptions is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. The Board did note that sub-advisory fee rates charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts tended to be more comparable, reflecting a similar scope of services.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the
sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board;
and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but |
then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction. |
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

2 Invesco Greater China Fund
| | | | | | |

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, was an eventful year for Chinese equities, with a volatile start followed by a turnaround in investor sentiment. China’s macroeconomic conditions have shown sequential improvements over the course of 2016, with broad-based pick-up seen in various economic activities. Resilient retail sales, a vibrant property market and an upturn in overall investment activity helped the Chinese economy rebalance smoothly toward a higher quality mix of growth.
In the first half of 2016, Chinese equity markets saw volatility on concerns over the lingering of China’s economic slowdown, as well as volatility in the Chinese renminbi in the beginning of the year. The second quarter of 2016 ended in the positive territory despite global market sentiment swings over the uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, global growth and results of the Brexit referendum in the UK.
In the second half of 2016, there was a notable recovery in corporate
earnings, which echoed the improving macroeconomic backdrop. The approval of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect that was announced in the third quarter of 2016 also lifted investor confidence. When China’s insurance funds were granted access to invest in Hong Kong equities via the southbound Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect channel in September following the removal of the aggregate quotas, there was a record fund flow into Hong Kong via the Stock Connect.
For the reporting period ended October 31, 2016, stock selection was a notable contributor to Fund performance relative to the broad market/style-specific index. In particular, select holdings in the information technology sector benefited Fund performance. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is a market leader in semiconductor manufacturing and is a key supplier for Apple (not a Fund holding) products. Tencent Holdings, a leading online gaming platform in China, has delivered impressive performance in building the user base of Weixin/WeChat, a communication mobile app.
Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector also contributed to the Fund’s performance versus the broad market/style-specific index. Minth Group, a leading supplier of exterior auto parts, is a tier-1 supplier to major domestic and global automakers. The company delivered solid earnings in the first half of 2016 and robust sales growth prospects coming from both domestic and overseas businesses. Pou Sheng International, a sportswear retailer in mainland China, and Hong Kong-based furniture company Man Wah Holdings also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. Further, stock selection in and underweight exposure to the financials sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.
In contrast, stock selection in and overweight exposure to the consumer staples sector were leading detractors from the Fund’s performance versus the broad market/style-specific benchmark. Tingyi, the largest instant noodle producer in China, was the leading detractor due to overall weak domestic consumption, as well as unsuccessful price hikes and product launches. That said, the company’s corporate strategy of focusing on more premium products may drive growth over the long term, but the transition will take time. Hygiene products company Hengan International was another key detractor from Fund performance within the sector.
Stock selection in the telecommunication services sector detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the broad market/style-specific index. In the sector, relative underperformance was driven by Fund holding SmarTone Telecom.
The Fund’s modest cash position detracted from relative results as the market

4 Invesco Greater China Fund
(represented by the MSCI Golden Dragon Index) was up for the reporting period.
China’s economy continues to transform from an economy that was once dominated by growth in manufacturing and investment to one that is being driven more by consumers. We believe that the positive trend in consumption will continue to play a key role in propelling China’s economy, supported by the ongoing expansion of service industries, ample liquidity and stable income growth. At the same time, we believe it is important for the government to continue to deal with the challenges of unwinding debt and capacity imbalances, while pursuing reforms to improve markets and long-term growth prospects. We believe there may be some supportive catalysts for Chinese equities in terms of earnings, policy developments and economic growth. The imminent launch of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program demonstrates China’s commitment to improving capital market accessibility and we expect further developments on this front. From a bottom-up perspective, we believe corporate earnings may continue improving with current valuations of Chinese stocks remaining favorable for investors.
We continue to focus purely on bottom-up stock opportunities to build a portfolio with high conviction stock positions. We adopt a selective approach, favoring companies with sustainable leadership and competitive advantages, which are trading at a discount to their fair value.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y and Class R5 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

7 Invesco Greater China Fund |
Invesco Greater China Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of October 31, 2016, and is based on total net assets. |
∎ | | Unless otherwise noted, all data provided by Invesco. |
∎ | | To access your Fund’s reports/prospectus, visit invesco.com/fundreports. |
About share classes
∎ | | Class B shares may not be purchased for new or additional investments. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class R5 shares are primarily intended for employer sponsored retirement and benefit plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Convertible securities risk. The market values of convertible securities are affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of market and issuer risks as apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money |
| on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain |
| | risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments |
|

prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. |
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
∎ | | Participation notes risk. Investments in participation notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying security, currency or market they seek to replicate, and, in addition, subject the Fund to the creditworthiness of the bank or broker-dealer that issued the participation notes. |
∎ | | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have |
more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market.
∎ | | Unique economic and political risks of investing in Greater China. Investments in companies located or operating in Greater China involve risks not associated with investments in Western nations, such as nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; difficulty in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts, either internal or with other countries; inflation, currency fluctuations and fluctuations in inflation and interest rates that may have negative effects on the economy and securities markets of Greater China; and Greater China’s dependency on the economies of other Asian countries, many of which are developing countries. Events in any one country within Greater China may impact the other countries in the region or Greater China as a whole. Additionally, developing countries, such as those in Greater China, may subject the Fund’s investments to a number of tax rules, and the application of many of those rules may be uncertain. Moreover, China has implemented a number of tax reforms in recent years, and may amend or revise its existing tax laws and/or procedures in the future, possibly with retroactive effect. Changes in applicable Chinese tax law could reduce the after-tax profits of the Fund, directly or indirectly, including by reducing the after-tax profits of companies in China in which the Fund invests. Uncertainties in Chinese tax rules could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The MSCI Golden Dragon Index captures the equity market performance of large- and mid-cap China securities and non-domestic China securities listed in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-residents. |
∎ | | The Lipper China Region Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of China region funds tracked by Lipper. |
∎ | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
∎ | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
∎ | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Greater China Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R5. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y and Class R5 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net
14 Invesco Greater China Fund
asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
15 Invesco Greater China Fund
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Other Risks — Investing in a single-country mutual fund involves greater risk than investing in a more diversified fund due to lack of exposure to other countries. The political and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax or economic policy in a single country could significantly affect the market in that country and in surrounding or related countries. |
Investing in developing countries can add additional risk, such as high rates of inflation or sharply devalued currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Transaction costs are often higher and there may be delays in settlement procedures.
Certain securities issued by companies in China may be less liquid, harder to sell or more volatile than U.S. securities.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0 | .935% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .91% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .885% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .86% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .835% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .81% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .785% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .76% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.935%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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, Class Y and Class R5 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,313.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R5 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $9,425 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1, $196 and $682 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 the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 of $31,184,141, due to foreign fair value adjustments.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Common Stocks & Other Equity Interests | | $ | 52,963,223 | | | $ | 17,547,247 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 70,510,470 | |

NOTE 4—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,921.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 621,370 | | | $ | 295,485 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 381,179 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 497,443 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 137 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (53,752 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (11,561,971 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 81,582,680 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 70,845,716 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
October 31, 2017 | | $ | 11,347,858 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 11,347,858 | |
Not subject to expiration | | | 214,113 | | | | — | | | | 214,113 | |
| | $ | 11,561,971 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 11,561,971 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $35,737,068 and $41,453,566, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 9,079,928 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (8,582,485 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 497,443 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $70,363,697.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $10,708, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $23,395,889 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $23,385,181. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco Greater China Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Greater China Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Greater China Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Hong Kong Limited currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper China Region Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and five year periods and below the performance of the Index for the three year period. Invesco Advisers noted that a new portfolio manager and team had been named to the Fund in the first quarter of 2015. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.

C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board also noted how the Fund’s rate compared to the effective sub-adviser fee rate of two off-shore funds advised by Invesco Advisers.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by
Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following |
the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. ∎ Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year, the US economy continued to expand. The initial estimate of US gross domestic product (GDP) showed the US economy grew by 2.9% in the third quarter, beating consensus estimates.1 However, annualized GDP is expected to be lower. Employment data were mixed, though the unemployment rate had a surprise uptick from 4.9% in August to 5.0% in September before ending the fiscal year at 4.9%.2 Oil prices traded in a range from the high $20s to the low $50s during the reporting period.3
The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates in December 2015 – its first increase since 2006 – but that was its only increase during the reporting period. Major US stock market indexes posted gains for the reporting period, but they were fairly volatile. Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China, falling oil prices and uncertainty over Fed policy, including rumors of possible negative interest rates in the US. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains until June when UK voters opted to leave the

European Union, sending markets sharply lower once again. Markets again recovered, and major US equity indexes hit record highs during the summer.4 In this environment, investors generally favored the perceived safety of government bonds and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
As part of the investment process, the Fund evaluates fundamental and behavioral factors to forecast individual securities’ returns and risks and ranks these securities based on their attractiveness relative to industry peers. The Fund generally maintains a net long bias and implements its strategy by purchasing what we consider to be highly-ranked stocks as long positions, and selling short what we consider to be poorly-ranked stocks within their respective industries. The Fund seeks to add value primarily from stock selection and secondarily by dynamically changing the level of its beta, or market exposure. In a long/short construct, a positive spread between the top- and bottom-ranked stocks (long and short candidates for the portfolio), plus a positive return from market exposure, is intended to result in the Fund outperforming its broad market benchmark.
During the fiscal year, the Fund benefited most from a positive long/short spread in eight of 11 sectors led by the information technology (IT), industrials, materials and consumer staples sectors,

but it was not enough to offset losses from the negative spread in the energy, health care and financials sectors, which meaningfully detracted from Fund performance.
The top-contributing sector to Fund performance was the IT sector where the Fund benefited from a meaningful net long allocation and positive results from long holdings in the semiconductor and communications equipment industries. The Fund also benefited from a net long allocation in the industrials sector and stock selection in the capital goods industry.
Equity markets experienced intermittent volatility over the fiscal year that led to dramatic shifts in investor risk tolerance, challenging the return-generating potential for the Fund. This was evident in both the energy and health care sectors. Investor risk tolerance shifted in mid-February as oil climbed from its 2015 lows and signs of US economic improvement became evident. The “risk on” sentiment, where investors moved to potentially riskier and higher-yielding investments, was most evident within the energy sector where lower-quality companies with burdensome balance sheets significantly outperformed higher-quality companies with stronger balance sheets. Consequently, the Fund’s long energy positions failed to outperform the short positions.
Returns within the health care sector, particularly the long positions in the biotechnology and equipment and services industries, performed poorly. The long biotechnology holdings sold off as investors reduced risk due to potential political action to regulate drug pricing.
At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s largest net long sector exposures were in the IT, industrials, financials and consumer staples sectors. The Fund’s largest net short position was in the consumer discretionary sector.
Please note that the Fund may utilize derivative instruments that include equity total return swaps and futures contracts. During the reporting period, the Fund utilized equity total return swaps to efficiently implement its strategy, but did not use futures contracts. The implementation impact of using equity total return swaps is a component of transaction costs. Derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of |
| | liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than mutual funds that do not use derivative instruments or that use derivative instruments to a lesser extent than the Fund to implement their investment strategies. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s mixture of long and short positions or the portfolio manager’s stock selection process will produce a portfolio with reduced exposure to stock market risk. In addition, the Fund’s long/short investment strategy may cause the Fund to underperform the broader equity markets in which the Fund invests during market rallies. Such underperformance could be significant during sudden or significant market rallies. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may |
| | decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than |

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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.
19 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s |
20 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
| taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Cash and Cash Equivalents — For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. |
J. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between two parties (“Counterparties”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
A total return swap is an agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income generated and capital gains, if any. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying equity securities and financing rate payable from the Counterparty. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
K. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
L. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
21 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $10 billion | | | 1.25% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 1.15% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.25%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.87%, 2.62%, 2.12%, 1.62%, 1.62% and 1.62%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $63,137 and reimbursed class level expenses of $15,057, $3,349, $70, $9,230, $3 and $154 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $20,757 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $149 and $387 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
22 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
| 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 October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $142.
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. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,132,066 | | | $ | — | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 168,568 | | | | 8,324 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 1,300,634 | | | $ | 8,324 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | $ | 406,840 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 2,423,002 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (5,998 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 65,659,851 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 68,483,695 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.

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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $92,155,137 and $50,751,513, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 5,593,707 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (3,170,705 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 2,423,002 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $65,186,047.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of swap agreements and net operating losses, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $1,548,168, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $5,727,029 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $4,178,861. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

26 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets, and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period December 19, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which includes confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmation of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year.

28 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solution, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one and two calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the first quintile for the two year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and two year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual
29 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was at the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the rate of one such mutual fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that although Invesco Advisers received a minimal amount of revenues from advising the Fund, Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries did not make a profit from managing the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by
Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes |
to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
An equity market rally in November 2015 was offset by negative performance in December, as a late-year crash in oil prices rattled the markets. Also in December, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) followed through on its commitment to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates – its first increase since 2006 – even as the European Central Bank extended its asset purchase program and Japan introduced additional quantitative easing and negative interest rates.
Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China and falling oil prices. Markets recovered in
late February and posted gains amid concerted central bank commitments to very loose monetary policy. As a result, the US dollar fell sharply against the euro and Japanese yen, a development that was largely supportive of oil and stock prices.
All major global stock indexes experienced steep declines again in June after Britain unexpectedly voted to leave the European Union. The resulting sharp sell-off in stocks hit economically sensitive stocks, like energy and financials, the hardest, and investors flocked to the perceived safety of US Treasuries and defensive equities often found in the consumer staples and utilities sectors.
After the initial shock of the Brexit vote, stocks made a strong recovery, regaining most of the losses as fears of a sharp shock to consumer confidence never materialized. For the remainder of the reporting period, emerging markets outperformed as the Fed left interest rates unchanged and expectations for an interest rate increase were delayed again.
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital while achieving a lower volatility level than its style-specific benchmark. The Fund seeks to accomplish long-term capital growth through stock selection using a proprietary multi-factor model based on fundamental and behavioral factors to forecast individual security returns and risk and rank companies relative to peers within their respective countries and sectors. The multi-factor model forecasts a return for each stock in the investable universe and is based on four concepts: Earnings Expectations, Market Sentiment, Management and Quality, and Value.1
For the reporting period, stock selection in the utilities, consumer discretionary, materials and telecommunication services sectors contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark, but it was not enough to offset losses from stock selection in the financials, information technology (IT) and consumer staples sectors. From a geographic perspective, underweight allocation in China and overweight allocation in Brazil added the most value to Fund performance, as did stock selection in India. Stock selection in Taiwan, Russia and Turkey hindered Fund performance.
Four of the top five contributors to Fund performance over the fiscal year were Brazilian companies –Cosan SA Industria e Comercio, EcoRodovias Infraestrutura (no longer held at the end of the reporting period), Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais and Smiles SA. Brazil had one of the strongest recoveries in the emerging markets during the fiscal year, after performing poorly in the prior fiscal year due to political unrest and a weak economy. Investor sentiment shifted to less defensive sectors when the Brazilian Central Bank left interest rates unchanged in January and commodities started to recover globally in mid-February.

Data presented here are as of October 31, 2016.
4 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
Cosan and EcoRodovias, an industrial company which focuses on transportation infrastructure, benefited from a rebound in commodities and an improved business outlook. Companhia Energetica, an electric utility company, rebounded after concerns of a power shortage due to last year’s drought dissipated. Smiles, a travel services company focused on loyalty programs primarily for the airline industry, beat earnings estimates and performed well given forecasts of higher market share.
Two of the worst-performing stocks over the fiscal year were Taiwanese companies. Casetek, a technology company that manufactures notebooks and tablets, performed poorly due to pricing pressure and weakening demand, which resulted in a lower earnings outlook. Fubon Financial, a multi-sector financial holding company, declined due to a drop in year-over-year profits given lower investment gains. We sold our positions in Casetek and Fubon Financials during the reporting period. TAV Havalimanlari, a manager of airport terminals in Turkey, performed poorly given a significant drop in tourism income due to security concerns after a terrorist attack in June and an attempted coup in July that led to a three-month state of emergency.
At the close of the reporting period, relative to the Fund’s style-specific index, the Fund held overweight positions in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, industrials, materials and utilities sectors, and underweight positions in the financials, IT and telecommunication services sectors. Geographically, the Fund held overweight positions in Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and India, and underweight positions in China, South Korea and Taiwan.
Please note, the Fund’s strategy is principally implemented through equity investments, but the Fund may also use futures contracts, a derivative instrument, to gain exposure to the equity market. During the reporting period, the Fund invested in MSCI Emerging Markets Index futures contracts, which generated a negative return and were a slight detractor from Fund performance. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.
Thank you for your investment in Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund.

Earnings Expectations is measured by earnings momentum and earnings revisions. Market Sentiment evaluates the price momentum of the stock. Management and Quality assesses whether management is a benefit for shareholders. The Value concept measures valuation in terms of cash flow yield, dividend yield, and earnings yield. |

Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of October 31, 2016, and is based on total net assets. |
∎ | | Unless otherwise noted, all data provided by Invesco. |
∎ | | To access your Fund’s reports/prospectus, visit invesco.com/fundreports. |
About share classes
∎ | | Class R shares are generally available only to employer sponsored retirement and benefit plans. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares are primarily intended for employer sponsored retirement and benefit plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, |
| | which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, |
| | foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There is no guarantee that the portfolio manager’s stock selection process will produce lower volatility than the broader markets in which the Fund invests. In addition, the Fund’s investment strategy to seek lower volatility may cause the Fund to underperform the broader markets in which the Fund invests during market rallies. Such underperformance could be significant during sudden or significant market rallies. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a |

whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
∎ | | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The MSCI All Country World Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of large- and mid-cap stocks across developed and emerging markets. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |
∎ | | The MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of developing countries. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |
∎ | | The Lipper Emerging Market Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of emerging market funds tracked by Lipper. |
∎ | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
∎ | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
∎ | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |
∎ | | Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
14 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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.
15 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the
16 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0 | .935% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .910% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .885% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .860% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .835% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .810% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .785% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .760% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.935%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.72%, 2.47%, 1.97%, 1.47%, 1.47% and 1.47%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $123,531 and reimbursed class level expenses of $3,654, $235, $35, $2,108, $1 and $115 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund,
17 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,477 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $2,464,072 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $3,667,431, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 32,442 | | | $ | 174,171 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | 5,026 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 32,442 | | | $ | 179,197 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,169,043 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 5,285,379 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (4,827 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (5,920 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 35,536,778 | |
Total net assets | | | $42,980,453 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $50,648,425 and $18,673,762, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 6,738,570 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (1,453,191 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 5,285,379 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $37,273,643.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign capital gains taxes and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $76,775, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $76,000 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $775. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

22 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the
Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period December 17, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.33%, 2.08%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 1.08% and 1.08% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.33%, 2.08%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 1.08% and 1.08%, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $6.87, $10.73, $8.16, $5.59, $5.59 and $5.59 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $6.75, $10.53, $8.01, $5.48, $5.48 and $5.48 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one and two calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one and two year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one and two year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual
25 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent
consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that although Invesco Advisers received a minimal amount of revenues from advising the Fund, Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries did not make a profit from managing the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money
market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes |
to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
Effective July 27, 2016, Invesco Global Markets Strategy Fund was renamed Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund. The name change is intended to be more representative of the Fund’s investment strategy and the underlying assets in which it invests.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, each of the asset classes in which the Fund invests provided positive contributions to Fund performance, and the Fund at NAV ended the reporting period in strong positive territory. The Fund invests in derivatives, such as swaps and futures, which are expected to correspond to the performance of US and international fixed income, equity and commodity markets. The strategic portion of the investment process involves first selecting representative assets for each of the three asset classes (equities, fixed income and commodities) from a universe of more than 50 investments. Next, we seek to construct the portfolio so that an approximately equal amount of risk comes from our equity, fixed income and commodity allocations. Tactical adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio are then made on a monthly basis to try and take advantage of short-term
market dynamics. The strategic element benefited Fund performance for the fiscal year.
Exposure to commodities, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, led returns for the Fund for the fiscal year as gains in agriculture, precious metals and energy outweighed losses in industrial metals. Agriculture was the Fund’s leading performer during the fiscal year due to gains in sugar, soybeans, soymeal, cotton and coffee. Generally speaking, supply shortages due to inclement weather and reduced plantings was the primary catalyst for higher prices. For the reporting period, tactical underweight exposure to the agriculture complex detracted from Fund performance. Precious metals exposure was also favorable as gains in silver outpaced gold. Precious metals prices benefited from a combination of volatility in equity prices in the reporting period as well as the inability of central banks to implement interest rate increases. Tactical exposure to precious metals detracted from Fund performance. Energy prices struggled with high levels of oversupply for much of the reporting period, leading to marked volatility in crude oil and distillates. The Fund’s ability to tactically adjust exposures helped to offset weak performance
across the energy complex; the Fund had underweight exposure to energy for most of the fiscal year. The result was a gain from the combined exposure to energy. Industrial metals prices detracted from Fund results as copper prices declined more than aluminum prices rose. Tactical industrial metals exposure detracted from Fund results due to underweight exposure to aluminum.
The Fund’s exposure to global government bonds, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, benefited Fund performance for the reporting period, as a combination of equity market volatility early in the reporting period, concerns over the fallout of the Brexit vote (the UK referendum on whether to remain a part of, or leave, the European Union) in early summer and generally tepid economic data throughout the reporting period created demand for perceived safe haven assets.1 Within the government bond asset class, UK gilts were the top performers on Brexit fears and the resulting accommodative policy response from central banks. German bunds also benefited from these events, although these events also drove their yields into negative territory. The price of Canadian government bonds rallied as the Canadian central bank cut interest rates twice to combat the economic slowdown complicated by weak energy prices. US Treasury prices rallied on market volatility early in the reporting period and “flight to safety” demand in the wake of Brexit, but they surrendered some of those gains late in the reporting period on the incessant jawboning from the US Federal Reserve on the likelihood of a rate increase. Despite engaging in a policy of negative interest rates, Japanese government bonds also posted modest gains for the reporting period. Tactical positioning in government bonds bolstered Fund results due to general overweight exposure to the asset class for the fiscal year.
Performance across developed equity markets was bifurcated though it contributed to Fund results. Perhaps surprisingly, given the angst leading up to and after

the Brexit vote, UK equities led results in the asset class; US small caps and large caps and Hong Kong equities made lesser contributions to Fund performance. European and Japanese equities detracted from Fund performance as a combination of weak economic data and concerns over whether the exceptionally accommodative policy response from the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan was having any of the intended effects on growth and inflation pressured share prices. Tactical exposure to equities, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, helped boost the Fund’s return owing to a combination of underweight exposure during the volatility of the first quarter of 2016 and general overweight exposure when equities recovered in subsequent quarters.
Please note that our strategy is principally implemented with derivative instruments that include futures, commodity-linked notes and total return swaps. Therefore, all or most of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.
Thank you for your continued investment in the Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund.

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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.66%, 2.41%, 1.91%, 1.41%, 1.41% and 1.41%, respectively.1,2 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 2.14%, 2.89%, 2.39%, 1.89%, 1.76% and 1.76%, 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 C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near, at or below zero. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
∎ | | Commodities tax risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment |
| | company and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the tax treatment of the Fund’s use of commodity-linked notes or the Subsidiary (which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategy. |
∎ | | Commodity-linked notes risk. In addition to risks associated with the underlying commodities, investments in commodity-linked notes may be subject to additional risks, such as non-payment of interest and loss of principal, counterparty risk, lack of a secondary market and risk of greater volatility than traditional equity and debt securities. The value of the commodity-linked notes the Fund buys may fluctuate significantly because the values of the underlying investments to which they are linked are themselves volatile. Additionally, certain commodity-linked notes employ “economic” leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index, or other economic variable. Such economic leverage will increase the volatility of the value of these commodity-linked notes and the Fund to the extent it invests in such notes. |
∎ | | Commodity risk. The Fund may have investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the commodities markets may be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/ or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, |
| | weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance may be linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. |
∎ | | Correlation risk. Because the Fund’s investment strategy seeks to balance risk across three asset classes and, within each asset class, across different countries and investments, to the extent either the asset classes or the selected countries and investments become correlated in a way not anticipated by the Adviser, the Fund’s risk allocation process may result in magnified risks and loss instead of balancing (reducing) the risk of loss. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |

8 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than most other mutual funds because the Fund will implement its investment strategy primarily through derivative instruments rather than direct investments in stocks/bonds. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign |
| | investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Exchange-traded funds risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility. |
∎ | | Exchange-traded notes risk. Exchange-traded notes are subject to credit risk, counterparty risk, and the risk that the value of the exchange-traded note may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating. The value of an exchange-traded note may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the exchange-traded note, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market, changes in the applicable interest rates, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying market |
| | or assets. The Fund will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by an exchange-traded note in which it invests. For certain exchange-traded notes, there may be restrictions on the Fund’s right to redeem its investment, which is meant to be held until maturity. |
∎ | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative |

values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Because the Fund’s investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
∎ | | Subsidiary risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in the prospectus, is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in the prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. |
∎ | | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |
∎ | | Volatility risk. Although the Fund’s investment strategy targets a specific volatility level, certain of the Fund’s investments may appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The Bloomberg Barclays 3-Month Treasury Bellwether Index measures the performance of Treasury bills with maturities of less than three months. |
∎ | | The Lipper Absolute Return Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of absolute return funds tracked by Lipper. |
∎ | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
∎ | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
∎ | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), formerly Invesco Global Markets Strategy Fund, is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series 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 consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund V Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a positive absolute return over a complete economic and market cycle.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances
15 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
load waiver shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated 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
16 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
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 Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
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 consolidated financial statements are released to print.
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary, are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. 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. | Structured Securities — The Fund may invest in structured securities. Structured securities are a type of derivative security whose value is determined by reference to changes in the value of underlying securities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (“reference instruments”). Most structured securities are fixed-income securities that have maturities of three years or less. Structured securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates) and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument. |
Structured securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instruments. In addition to the credit risk of structured securities and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Changes in the daily value of structured securities are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the structured securities mature or are sold, the Fund recognizes a realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
J. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from |
17 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
| changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
L. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves,
18 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
N. | Other Risks — The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in exchange-traded funds and commodity-linked derivatives. The Subsidiary, unlike the Fund, may invest without limitation in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives and other securities, such as exchange-traded notes, that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodity markets. The Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. |
The Fund is non-diversified and may invest in securities of fewer issuers than if it were diversified. Thus, the value of the Fund’s shares may vary more widely and the Fund may be subject to greater market and credit risk than if the Fund invested more broadly.
O. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
P. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser less the amount paid by the Subsidiary to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $10 billion | | | 1.50% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 1.25% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.50%.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with the Adviser whereby the Adviser provides investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Subsidiary pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets as set forth in the table above.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective March 1, 2016, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.65%, 2.40%, 1.90%, 1.40%, 1.40% and 1.40%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to March 1, 2016, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.80%, 2.55%, 2.05%, 1.55%, 1.55% and 1.55%, 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of a Fund directly, but are fees and expenses, including management fees, of the investment companies in which a Fund invests. As a result, the total annual fund operating expenses after expense reimbursement may exceed the expense limits above. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $370,246 and reimbursed class level expenses of $6,620, $8,935, $37, $39,586 and $204 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to
19 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Consolidated 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,510 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $493 and $2,099 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 – | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:

Shares of beneficial interest | | | 48,079,426 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 51,709,548 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
22 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016 which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 2,234,231 | | | $ | 463,637 | | | $ | 2,697,868 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $16,308,584 and $36,324,215, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 22,752 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (592 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 22,160 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $51,935,225.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of futures contracts, swap agreement income and distributions from subsidiary, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was increased by $8,150,231 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $8,150,231. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund and its subsidiary (formerly, Invesco Global Markets Strategy Fund, the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period September 26, 2012 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.44%, 2.19%, 1.69%, 1.19%, 1.19%, and 1.19% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.39%, 2.14%, 1.64%, 1.14%, 1.14% and 1.14%, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.14, $10.98, $8.42, $5.86, $5.86 and $5.87 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $7.05, $10.84, $8.31, $5.79, $5.79 and $5.79 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
26 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund recently began operations and that comparative performance data for only the past three calendar years was available. The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one and three calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Absolute Return Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class Y shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the second quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of
27 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
the Index for the three year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class Y shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to certain other types of client accounts. These additional services include provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of annual registration statement updates and financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Invesco Advisers also reviewed generally the higher frequency of shareholder purchases and redemptions in the Invesco Funds relative to the flow of assets for other client accounts. Invesco Advisers advised the Board that advance notice of redemptions is often provided to Invesco Advisers by institutional clients. The Board did note that sub-advisory fee rates charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts
tended to be more comparable, reflecting a similar scope of services.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board;
and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and was advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to |
sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.
∎ Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
The beginning of the fiscal year was challenging for global equity markets, with volatility indicators spiking and all regions exhibiting substantial price declines. Most of that retrenchment was attributable to the European Central Bank’s underwhelming stimulus measures announced in December 2015 and was probably exacerbated by the US Federal Reserve’s first rate hike since 2006.
Stocks then rebounded amid signs of stabilization in the global economy, strong earnings at bellwether companies and ongoing central bank stimulus measures. However, they nose-dived again sharply after UK voters approved a ballot measure in June to leave the European Union, but a strong bounce-back rally soon erased most of the losses. Rising oil prices also helped to stabilize the energy sector and alleviate fears of substantial defaults within the energy-related high yield market.
The Fund seeks to gain strategic exposure by employing a three-step investment process: smart beta, a value-weighted methodology and tactical adjustments. The Fund uses smart beta indexes to build up core equity exposure. For this strategy,
we intend to invest in companies in approximately the same proportion as they are represented in the smart beta indexes, which utilize equal weighting, low volatility or other methodologies to determine
stock investments and appropriate weightings.
Valuations are considered on an absolute basis first to determine if a market is “rich” or “cheap” relative to its own history and then evaluated on a cross-sectional basis to account for relative attractiveness across markets. This approach reflects the intuitive appeal of having
greater exposure to cheap markets and lower exposure to expensive markets within the Fund’s strategic allocation.
Strategically, Hong Kong and emerging markets were the primary contributors to Fund performance for the reporting period. The noteworthy catalysts for their performance were improving macroeconomic data out of China, rising commodity prices and a marginally weaker US dollar. Conversely, Europe and the UK were the largest detractors from Fund performance for the reporting period, mostly due to fading confidence in the prevailing stimulus policies. Even though the UK equity market experienced a strong rebound following the Brexit referendum, it did not fully offset the negative performance in the first two months of the fiscal year.
The Fund’s tactical overlay portion actively adjusts portfolio positions through the use of futures to reflect the nearterm environment. The tactical component of the Fund’s allocation positively contributed to results through exposure,

obtained by futures, to the UK, emerging markets and Hong Kong; the Fund experienced tactical losses in the European and Japanese markets. Considering the strategic and tactical allocations combined, Hong Kong and emerging markets were the largest contributors to Fund performance, while Europe and the UK were the largest detractors from Fund performance.
Please note that our strategy utilizes derivative instruments that include futures and total return swaps. Therefore, some of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a more liquid and cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

The data shown in the chart include reinvested distributions, applicable sales charges and Fund expenses including
management fees. Index results include reinvested dividends, but they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses and management fees;

sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns.
∎ Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have
| more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index is an index considered representative of developed and emerging market stock markets, excluding the US. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |
∎ | | The Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of international large-cap core funds tracked by Lipper. |
∎ | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
∎ | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
∎ | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing
in the Fund
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. |
| | Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than mutual funds that do not use derivative instruments or that use derivative instruments to a lesser extent than the Fund to implement their investment strategies. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk |
| | also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. The portfolio managers’ use of derivative instruments that provide economic leverage may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value, which may increase the potential of greater losses that may cause the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. In addition, the Fund will likely underperform the broader equity markets in which the Fund invests during market rallies when the Fund’s equity exposure is less than 100% of the Fund’s assets. Such underperformance could be significant during sudden or significant market rallies. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Macro International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
19 Invesco Macro International Equity Fund
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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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.
20 Invesco Macro International Equity Fund
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the
21 Invesco Macro International Equity Fund
Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0.935% | |
Next $250 million | | | 0.910% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.885% | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.860% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.835% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.810% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.785% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.760% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.935%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2018, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.43%, 2.18%, 1.68%, 1.18%, 1.18% and 1.18%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2018. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $538,819 and reimbursed class level expenses of $1,458, $41, $4, $1,754, $26 and $26 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund,
22 Invesco Macro International Equity Fund
subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $84 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $643,584 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $1,598,786, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
Value of Derivative Investments at Period-End
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The table below summarizes the value of the Fund’s derivative investments, detailed by primary risk exposure, held as of October 31, 2016:
| | | | |

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and passive foreign investment companies.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, as follows:
| | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 770,478 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $3,293,184 and $3,527,459, 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.

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities | | $ | (208,551 | ) |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $7,311,351.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was increased by $6,250, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $6,354 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $104. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco Macro International Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Macro International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period December 17, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmation of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Macro International Equity Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund recently began operations and that comparative performance data for only the past two calendar years was available. The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past two calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one and two year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below the performance of the Index for the one and two year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.

C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was above the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent
consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates did not make a profit from managing the Fund as a result of fee and expense waivers. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal
to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and was advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to |
sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction. You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options. |

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The global economy continued to expand, albeit slowly, for the fiscal year. However, that growth became increasingly uneven across developed and emerging economies, amid continued volatility in oil prices and as the policies of central banks globally began to diverge.
The beginning of the fiscal year was challenging for global equity markets, with volatility indicators spiking and all regions exhibiting substantial price declines. Most of that retrenchment was attributable to the European Central Bank’s underwhelming stimulus measures announced in December 2015; it was exacerbated by the US Federal Reserve’s first interest rate hike since 2006.
Stocks then rebounded in mid-February amid signs of stabilization in the global economy, strong earnings at bellwether
companies and ongoing central bank stimulus measures. However, they nose-dived again sharply after British voters approved a ballot measure in June to leave the European Union; a strong bounce-back rally quickly erased most of the losses. Rising oil prices also helped to stabilize the energy sector and alleviate fears of substantial defaults in the energy-related high yield market.
Emerging market equities performed strongly during the reporting period, helped by improving economic data in China, strengthening commodity prices and a slightly weaker US dollar. Furthermore, earnings growth stabilized somewhat, which, coupled with relatively attractive valuations, led to further stock price appreciation as corporate profits improved. At the same time there were risks to monitor. For example, in July, a
failed coup in Turkey was a reminder that political risk can stoke market volatility.
The Fund uses smart beta indexes to build up core equity exposure, including regional exposure. Beta is a measure of risk representing how a security is expected to respond to general market movements. Smart beta represents an alternative and selection index based methodology that seeks to outperform a benchmark or reduce portfolio risk, or both. Smart beta funds may underperform cap-weighted benchmarks and increase portfolio risk. For this strategy, we invest in companies in approximately the same proportion as they are represented in the smart beta indexes, which utilize equal weighting, low volatility or other methodologies to determine stock investments and appropriate weightings. The main source of Fund performance for the fiscal year was the Fund’s regional strategic asset allocation approach; strong contributions to Fund performance came from our overweight exposure to Asia and emerging markets. The Fund also used multifactor models that looked at valuation, economic environments and price trends to tactically adjust the portfolio to complement short-term market dynamics. The Fund’s tactical exposure, which was implemented primarily through the use of futures, detracted from Fund performance for the reporting period. This was the case particularly early in the fiscal year, when equity markets struggled and the Fund had overweight exposure to the UK and US small- and large-cap core stocks.
Please note that our strategy utilizes derivative instruments that include futures. Therefore, some of the performance of the strategy, both positive and

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. 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.88%, 2.63%, 2.13%, 1.63%, 1.63% and 1.63%, respectively.1,2 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 5.65%, 6.40%, 5.90%, 5.40%, 5.39% and 5.39%, 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 C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved.
The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 class shares do not have a front-end sales charge or a CDSC; therefore, performance is at net asset value.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

∎ | | Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares are primarily intended for employer sponsored retirement and benefit plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. |
| | Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than mutual funds that do not use derivative instruments or that use derivative instruments to a lesser extent than the Fund to implement their investment strategies. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk |
| | also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. In particular, there is no guarantee that the Fund’s mixture of long and short positions or the portfolio manager’s stock selection process will produce a portfolio with reduced exposure to stock market risk. In addition, the Fund’s long/short investment strategy may cause the Fund to underperform the broader equity markets in which the Fund invests during market rallies. Such underperformance could be significant during sudden or significant market rallies. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the investment manager in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. |

|
NOT FDIC INSURED | MAY LOSE VALUE | NO BANK GUARANTEE |
8 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The MSCI All Country World Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of large- and mid-cap stocks across developed and emerging markets. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |
∎ | | The Bloomberg Barclays 3-Month Treasury Bellwether Index measures the performance of Treasury bills with maturities of less than three months. |
∎ | | The Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of alternative equity long/short funds tracked by Lipper. |
∎ | | The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es). |
∎ | | A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not. |
Other information
∎ | | The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values (NAVs) calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the NAVs for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those NAVs may differ from the NAVs and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. |
∎ | | Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a positive absolute return over a complete economic and market cycle.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
24 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the 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.
25 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the
26 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
M. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
N. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $10 billion | | | 1.25% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 1.15% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.25%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.,
27 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2018, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.87%, 2.62%, 2.12%, 1.62%, 1.62% and 1.62%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2018. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $537,926 and reimbursed class level expenses of $1,862, $15, $3, $1,917, $95 and $113 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $25 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

Shares of beneficial interest | | | 14,294,057 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 13,486,890 | |
32 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and passive foreign investment companies.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, as follows:
| | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 472,553 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $5,530,010 and $6,543,798, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 884,877 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (741,809 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 143,068 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $12,326,292.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of distribution reclass, foreign currency transactions and passive foreign investment companies, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $14,578, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $14,391 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $187. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

34 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period December 17, 2013 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
36 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund recently began operations and that comparative performance data for only the past two calendar years was available. The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past two calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the two year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below the
37 Invesco Macro Long/Short Fund
performance of the Index for the one and two year periods. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015.
The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was above the rate of one mutual fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule.
The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates did not make a profit from managing the Fund as a result of fee and expense waivers. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements.
The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and was advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | | | |

Philip Taylor | | | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following |
the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the US economy continued to expand. The initial estimate of US gross domestic product (GDP) showed the US economy grew by 2.9% in the third quarter, beating consensus estimates.1 However, annualized GDP is expected to be lower. Employment data were mixed, though the unemployment rate had a surprise uptick from 4.9% in August to 5.0% in September before ending the fiscal year at 4.9%.2
The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates in December 2015 – its first increase since 2006 – but that was its only increase during the reporting period. Major US stock market indexes posted gains for the reporting period, but they were fairly volatile. Stocks began calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China, falling oil prices and uncertainty over Fed policy, including rumors of possible negative interest rates in the US. Markets recovered in late
February and posted gains until June when UK voters opted to leave the European Union, sending markets sharply lower once again. Markets again recovered, and major US equity indexes hit record highs during the summer.3 In this environment, investors generally favored the perceived safety of government bonds and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
A combination of high production levels and weakened demand outlook led to further imbalances in crude oil and natural gas supply and demand, causing energy prices to plunge at the beginning of the fiscal year; crude oil fell from $49 to a low of $28 per barrel and natural gas fell from $2.25 to a low $1.64 per thousand cubic feet.4 Toward the end of the reporting period, OPEC provided some respite by finally agreeing to limit production in an effort to stabilize crude prices. Additionally, continued capital expenditure cuts helped to reduce natural gas
production. Crude oil and natural gas prices ended the reporting period at $48 per barrel and $3.03 per thousand cubic feet, respectively.4
In general for the reporting period, master limited partnership (MLP) equities experienced losses, underperforming broad market equities, given investor sentiment surrounding volatile energy prices. For the fiscal year, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV experienced a negative return, but outperformed the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, the Alerian MLP Index.
On an absolute basis, Fund holdings in gathering and processing MLPs as well as natural gas pipelines and storage were the largest contributors to performance. Pipelines and midstream diversified MLPs as well as non-traditional MLPs were the only MLP sectors to detract from absolute Fund performance during the fiscal year.
The Fund outperformed its style-specific benchmark, the Alerian MLP Index, as a result of security selection and market allocation during the fiscal year. In particular, security selection and an overweight position in gathering and processing MLPs and refined product pipelines and terminals were the largest contributors to relative performance. Underweight exposure to marine MLPs, as well as security selection in and underweight exposure to non-traditional MLPs, also contributed to relative returns. Ancillary cash held by the Fund was also beneficial during the reporting period given the declines in MLP equities overall. Relative detractors from Fund performance included security selection in and overweight exposure to pipelines and midstream diversified MLPs, as well as lack of exposure to coal and propane MLPs.
Energy Transfer Equity, which is not in the benchmark, was the largest absolute and relative detractor to Fund performance during the reporting period. Prior to the fiscal year, Energy Transfer Equity announced

plans to merge with Williams Companies (also a Fund holding). Rumblings that the merger was not in the best interests of Williams’ shareholders roiled both stocks. Williams’ shareholders ultimately accepted the proposal; however, Energy Transfer Equity decided to terminate the merger. Subsequently, both companies have filed lawsuits for alleged breach of contract.
Magellan Midstream Partners was the top absolute contributor to performance. During the fiscal year, Magellan entered into an agreement to connect its Texas delivery system to TransCanada’s (not a Fund holding) Houston tank terminal. The company also announced plans to build a new Pasadena, Texas, marine terminal with initial storage capacity of 1 million barrels of refined products and ethanol – expandable to 10 million barrels with five docks, depending on future demand. Magellan also increased its quarterly distribution twice during the fiscal year.
During the reporting period, the Fund held an average overweight position relative to its style-specific benchmark in refined products pipelines and terminals; gathering and processing MLPs; and pipelines and midstream diversified MLPs. The Fund held an average underweight position in marine MLPs, non-traditional, as well as natural gas pipelines and storage. Out-of-benchmark sector exposure included minor exposure to general partners and refined products. The Fund lacked exposure to several MLP sectors in which its style-specific benchmark had minor exposure: upstream, oilfield services, propane and coal.
At the close of the reporting period, we believed the lifting of the US crude oil export ban would likely be a long-term positive for continued US midstream infrastructure build-out. Growth characteristics for midstream services were relatively attractive, in our view. We believed an anticipated increase in US energy production in 2017 and 2018 would likely be positive for midstream services companies, which tend to be influenced more by the volume, rather than the price, of energy.
We also believed that the Permian and Marcellus basins remained the strongest basins with drilling economics that were relatively attractive, with production volumes that have remained insulated from downward pressure. Despite distribution cuts from upstream MLPs, our expectations for distribution growth among companies focused on refined products, natural gas pipelines and storage remained positive given the contractual nature of existing cash flows, combined with a still-healthy project backlog. In general, the
Fund remained focused on companies that exhibit a relatively high fee-based cash flow, have access to a growing asset base through both organic capital expenditures and acquisitions, and operate in what we view to be the most attractive natural resource basins in the US.

Principal risks of investing
in the Fund
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Deferred tax risk. The Fund is classified for federal tax purposes as a taxable regular corporation or so-called Subchapter “C” corporation. As a “C” corporation, the Fund is subject to US federal income tax on its taxable income at the graduated rates applicable to corporations (currently at a maximum rate of 35%) as well as state and local income taxes. The Fund will not benefit from the current favorable federal income tax rates on long-term capital gains and Fund income, losses and expenses will not be passed through to the Fund’s shareholders. An investment strategy whereby a fund is taxed as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, rather than as a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes, is a relatively recent strategy for open-end registered investment companies such as the Fund. This strategy involves complicated accounting, tax, net asset value (NAV) and share valuation aspects that would cause the Fund to differ significantly from most other open-end registered investment companies. |
∎ | | Energy infrastructure MLP risk. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the energy sector. Energy infrastructure MLPs are subject to a variety of industry specific risk factors, including reduced volumes of energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing; changes in energy commodity prices; a sustained reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products; depletion of the natural gas reserves or other commodities if not replaced; natural disasters, extreme weather and environmental hazards; rising interest rates which could drive investors into other investment opportunities; environmental damage claims; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. In addition, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price and supply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and energy conservation may cause difficulties for energy infrastructure MLPs. |
∎ | | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | MLP risk. The Fund invests principally in securities of MLPs, which are subject to the following risks: |
| – | Limited partner risk. An MLP is a public limited partnership or limited liability company taxed as a partnership under the Code. Although the characteristics of MLPs closely resemble a traditional limited partnership, a major difference is that MLPs may trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market. The risks of investing in an MLP are similar to those of investing in a partnership, including more flexible governance |

structures, which could result in less protection for investors than investments in a corporation. Investors in an MLP normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amount that the investor has contributed but investors may not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances, creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner, which right would continue after an investor sold its investment in the MLP.
– | Liquidity risk. The ability to trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market provides a certain amount of liquidity not found in many limited partnership investments. However, MLP interests may be less liquid than conventional publicly traded securities and, therefore, more difficult to trade at desirable times and/or prices. |
– | Interest rate risk. In addition, MLP distributions may be reduced by fees and other expenses incurred by the MLP. MLPs generally are considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. |
– | General partner risk. The holder of the general partner or managing member interest can be liable in certain circumstances for amounts greater than the amount of the holder’s investment in the general partner or managing member. |
∎ | | MLP tax risk. MLPs taxed as partnerships do not pay US federal income tax at the partnership level. A change in current tax law, or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP, however, could result in an MLP being classified as a corporation for US federal income tax purposes, which would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and, as a result, could cause a reduction of the value of the Fund’s investment, and consequently your investment in the Fund and lower income. Each year, the Fund will send you an annual tax statement (Form 1099) to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. If |
an MLP in which the Fund invests amends its partnership tax return, the Fund will, when necessary, send you a corrected Form 1099, which could, in turn, require you to amend your federal, state or local tax returns.
∎ | | Non-diversification risk. The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. A change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco MLP Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and secondarily income.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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.
13 Invesco MLP Fund
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. | Master Limited Partnerships — The Fund primarily invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund principally invests in MLPs that derive their revenue primarily from businesses involved in the gathering, transporting, processing, treating, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products or coal (“energy infrastructure MLPs”). The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
14 Invesco MLP Fund
The Fund is non-diversified and will concentrate its investments in the energy sector. Energy infrastructure MLPs are subject to a variety of industry specific risk factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including a decrease in production or reduced volumes of natural gas or other energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing; changes in energy commodity prices; a sustained reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products; depletion of natural gas reserves or other commodities if not replaced; natural disasters, extreme weather and environmental hazards; rising interest rates, how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated, environmental and safety controls, and the prices they may charge for products and services. In addition, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price, and supply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and energy conservation may cause difficulties for energy infrastructure MLPs.
MLPs may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital — Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the graduated rates applicable to corporations. In addition, as a regular corporation, the Fund may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which the MLPs operate. The estimate state tax rate is based on a periodic analysis of the Fund’s holdings. The Fund may also be subject to a federal alternative minimum tax on its alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that the alternative minimum tax exceeds the Fund’s regular federal income tax liability. |
Taxes include current and deferred taxes. Current taxes reflect the estimated tax liability of the Fund as of a measurement date based on taxable income. Deferred taxes reflect estimates of (i) taxes on net unrealized gains (losses), which are attributable to the difference between fair market value and tax basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes, and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset (“DTA”) and/or liability balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. A DTA will be recognized for temporary book/tax differences, net of unrealized losses, and carryforwards (net operating losses, capital loss carryforward, or tax credits). To the extent the Fund has a DTA, the Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset the value of a portion, or all, of the DTA. Prior year ordinary income or capital gains (carrybacks), unrealized net gains, future reversals of existing taxable timing differences, forecast of future profitability (based on historical evidence), potential tax planning strategies, unsettled circumstances, and other evidence will be used in determining the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance is reviewed periodically and the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding the net deferred tax asset or liability balances and any applicable valuation allowance.
The Fund recognizes interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, in tax expense. The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
H. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
I. | 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. |
J. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $1.0 billion | | | 1.00% | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.95% | |
Next $2.0 billion | | | 0.93% | |
Next $3.5 billion | | | 0.91% | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.90% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.00%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $202,763 and reimbursed class level expenses of $4,799, $800, $230, $4,273, $6 and $6 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $5,514 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
As of October 31, 2016, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Total taxes have been computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate of 34% plus a blended state and other tax rate of 2.73%. The Fund applied this rate to net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments before taxes in computing its total tax expense (benefit).
The provision for taxes differs from the amount derived from applying the statutory tax rate to net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) before taxes at period-end as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Provision at statutory rates | | $ | 122,564 | | | | 34.00 | % |
State and other taxes, net of federal tax benefit | | | 8,926 | | | | 2.48 | |
Permanent differences, current period | | | (1,394 | ) | | | (0.39 | ) |
Valuation allowance | | | (130,096 | ) | | | (36.09 | ) |
Total | | $ | 0 | | | | 0.00 | % |
Components of the Fund’s Net Deferred Tax Asset at Period-End:
| | | | |
Deferred Tax Assets: | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforward | | $ | 149,839 | |
Capital loss carryforward | | | 373,190 | |
Unrealized gains/losses on investment securities | | | 76,749 | |
Total Deferred Tax Assets | | | 599,778 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (599,778 | ) |
Deferred Tax Asset, Net | | $ | 0 | |
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, of $1,049,767. Capital losses may be carried forward for 5 years and accordingly, would begin to expire as of October 31, 2019.
The Fund has a federal net operating loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, of $418,810, which begin to expire in 2034. As of October 31, 2016, the Fund has state net operating loss carryforward of approximately $413,628. If not utilized, these state net operating losses will expire in various years through October 31, 2036.
At October 31, 2016, based on the net unrealized losses on the Fund’s investment securities, the Fund has recorded a valuation allowance to offset the DTA as the Fund has determined at October 31, 2016 based on historical evidence it is unlikely the DTA will be realized.

NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of dividends received deduction, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $4,100 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $4,100. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco MLP Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco MLP Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period August 29, 2014 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.28%, 2.03%, 1.53%, 1.03%, 1.03%, and 1.03% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 1.28%, 2.03%, 1.53%, 1.03%, 1.03% and 1.03%, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $6.56, $10.41, $7.85, $5.30, $5.29 and $5.29 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $6.47, $10.27, $7.75, $5.23, $5.22 and $5.22 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco MLP Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Evaluation of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one calendar year to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against Lipper Energy MLP Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
27 Invesco MLP Fund
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent
consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries did not make a profit from managing the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco
Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but |
then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
Effective July 27, 2016, Invesco Premium Income Fund was renamed Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund. The name change is intended to be more representative of the Fund’s investment strategy and the underlying assets in which it invests.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund provided positive returns led by gains in high yield securities, emerging market bonds, mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs) and preferred stocks. The tactical component of the strategy was also a contributor to Fund performance, led by gains in global government bonds. We make tactical adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio on a monthly basis to try
to take advantage of short-term market dynamics.
Despite the Fund’s positive performance, there were some challenges at the beginning of the fiscal year; these included deflationary pressures fueled by monetary policy, plunging oil prices and a rising US dollar. Then, in June 2016, the UK’s vote to leave the European Union roiled global financial markets. Overall, interest rate levels remained low as US Treasury prices rallied on volatility early in the reporting period and “flight-to-safety” demand in the wake of the UK vote. However, US Treasuries surrendered some of those gains late in the reporting period as economic data improved and the US Federal Reserve hinted at an increase in interest rates.
As part of its strategic allocation process, the Fund invests in eight primary asset classes: preferred stocks, high yield bonds, emerging market debt securities, dividend-producing equities, securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers (including mortgage REITs, equity REITs, and equity securities of global companies principally engaged in the real estate industry), floating rate debt securities and loans, US master limited partnerships (MLPs) and US government obligations. All components of the Fund’s strategic allocation finished the reporting period with gains, but high yield bonds was the top-performing component due to a rally in oil prices in the middle of the fiscal year; the rally buoyed the energy sector and reduced the prospect of widespread defaults. The energy rally also helped the Fund’s financials sector-dominated preferred stock allocation after fears of a banking crisis, caused by plunging oil prices, subsided. Emerging market bonds and MLPs benefited from a broad rally in commodities and weakening in the US dollar. Mortgage REIT prices benefited from their attractive yields, given a sluggish global economy and highly accommodative global monetary policy, which drove down yields of government bonds.
The Fund’s tactical allocation, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, contributed further to overall results mainly led by exposure to global government bonds, with UK gilts, German bunds and Canadian government bonds being the largest contributors. Tactical equity exposure also aided results as gains in

Please note that our strategy utilizes derivative instruments that include futures and total return swaps. Therefore, some of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing
in the Fund
∎ | | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
∎ | | Bank loan risk. There are a number of risks associated with an investment in bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding bank loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. These risks could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s returns. The value of bank loans can be affected by and sensitive to changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. Bank loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest |
| | paid on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates. |
∎ | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near, at or below zero. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
∎ | | Commodities tax risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations or other legally binding authority. If, as a result of any such adverse action, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives was treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment company and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue guidance, or Congress enact legislation, that adversely affects the tax treatment of the Fund’s use of the Subsidiary (which guidance might be applied to the Fund retroactively), it could, among other consequences, limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategy. |
∎ | | Commodity risk. The Fund may have investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or a particular sector of the commodities markets, which may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Volatility in the commodities markets may |
| | be caused by changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/ or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates, investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds, and factors such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments or supply and demand disruptions. Because the Fund’s performance may be linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. |
∎ | | Credit linked notes risk. Risks of credit linked notes include those risks associated with the underlying reference obligation including but not limited to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, default risk and, in some cases, foreign currency risk. An investor in a credit linked note bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer of the credit linked note will default or become bankrupt and not make timely payment of principal and interest of the structured security. Credit linked notes may be less liquid than other investments and therefore harder to dispose of at the desired time and price. In addition, credit linked notes may be leveraged and, as a result, small changes in the value of the underlying reference obligation may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates |

will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be |
| | most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. These risks are greater for the Fund than mutual funds that do not use derivative instruments or that use derivative instruments to a lesser extent than the Fund to implement their investment strategies. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Exchange-traded funds risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve |
| | duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged, which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument and potentially resulting in greater volatility. |
∎ | | Foreign currency tax risk. If the US Treasury Department were to exercise its authority to issue regulations that exclude from the definition of “qualifying income” foreign currency gains not directly related to the Fund’s business of investing in securities, the Fund may be unable to qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event, the Fund’s Board of Trustees may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or other action. |
∎ | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions |

such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
∎ | | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. |
∎ | | Indexing risk. Certain portions of the Fund’s assets are managed pursuant to an indexing approach (Indexed Assets) and, therefore, the adverse performance of a particular security necessarily will not result in the elimination of the security from the Indexed Assets. Ordinarily, the Adviser will not sell portfolio securities of the Indexed Assets except to reflect additions or deletions of the securities that comprise the index the Fund seeks to track with respect to the Indexed Assets (Underlying Index), or as may be necessary to raise cash to pay Fund shareholders who sell Fund shares. As such, the Indexed Assets, and therefore the Fund, will be negatively affected by declines in the securities represented by the Underlying Index. Also, there is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to correlate the performance of the Indexed Assets with that of the Underlying Index. |
∎ | | Investment companies risk. Investing in other investment companies could result in the duplication of certain fees, including management and administrative fees, and may expose the Fund to the risks of owning the underlying investments that the other investment company holds. |
∎ | | Liquidity risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such |
| investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s and/or sub-adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Because the Fund’s investment process relies heavily on its asset allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s net asset value. In addition, the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment decisions made by the Adviser or a sub-adviser may conflict with other decisions made by the Adviser or the same or a different sub-adviser. For example, it is possible that the Adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that a sub-adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher expenses without accomplishing any net investment result and, possibly, resulting in a wash sale for tax purposes, which would defer the ability of the Fund to utilize any realized loss. Conflicting investment decisions made by the Adviser, a sub-adviser or some combination thereof (including decisions made by different teams in the Adviser or the same sub-adviser) also could subject the Fund to other special tax rules that may, for example, defer or disallow the ability of the Fund to utilize realized losses. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the portfolio managers in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically |
than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
∎ | | MLP risk. The Fund invests in securities of MLPs, which are subject to the following risks: |
| - | Limited partner risk. An MLP is a public limited partnership or limited liability company taxed as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). Although the characteristics of MLPs closely resemble a traditional limited partnership, a major difference is that MLPs may trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market. The risks of investing in an MLP are similar to those of investing in a partnership, including more flexible governance structures, which could result in less protection for investors than investments in a corporation. Investors in an MLP normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amount that the investor has contributed but investors may not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances, creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner, which right would continue after an investor sold its investment in the MLP. |
| - | Liquidity risk. The ability to trade on a public exchange or in the over-the-counter market provides a certain amount of liquidity not found in many limited partnership investments. However, MLP interests may be less liquid than conventional publicly traded securities and, therefore, more difficult to trade at desirable times and/or prices. |
| - | Interest rate risk. In addition, MLP distributions may be reduced by fees and other expenses incurred by the MLP. MLPs generally are considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. |
| - | General partner risk. The holder of the general partner or managing member interest can be liable in certain circumstances for amounts |
10 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
| greater than the amount of the holder’s investment in the general partner or managing member. Additionally, if the Fund were to invest more than 25% of its total assets in MLPs that are taxed as partnerships this could cause the Fund to lose its status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. |
∎ | | MLP tax risk. MLPs taxed as partnerships do not pay US federal income tax at the partnership level. A change in current tax law, or a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP, however, could result in an MLP being classified as a corporation for US federal income tax purposes, which would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and, as a result, could cause a reduction of the value of the Fund’s investment, and consequently your investment in the Fund and lower income. Each year, the Fund will send you an annual tax statement (Form 1099) to assist you in completing your federal, state and local tax returns. If an MLP in which the Fund invests amends its partnership tax return, the Fund will, when necessary, send you a corrected Form 1099, which could, in turn, require you to amend your federal, state or local tax returns. |
∎ | | Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund. The Fund may invest in mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. Privately issued mortgage-related securities are |
| | not subject to the same underwriting requirements as those with government or government-sponsored entity guarantees and, therefore, mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics, and wider variances in interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. |
∎ | | Non-correlation risk. The return of the Fund’s assets managed pursuant to an indexing approach (Indexed Assets) may not match the return of the index the Fund seeks to track with respect to the Indexed Assets (Underlying Index) for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing securities holdings to reflect changes in the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Indexed Assets and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Indexed Assets and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints. |
∎ | | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | | REIT risk/real estate risk. Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid. |
∎ | | Sampling risk. The Fund’s use of a sampling methodology with respect to assets managed pursuant to an indexing approach (Indexed Assets) may result in the Indexed Assets including a smaller number of securities than are in the index the Fund seeks to track with respect to the Indexed Assets (Underlying Index), and in the Indexed Assets including securities that are not included in the Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an |
| | issuer of securities included in the Indexed Assets could result in a greater decline in the Fund’s NAV than would be the case if all of the securities in the Underlying Index were included in the Indexed Assets. The Fund’s use of a sampling methodology may also include the risk that the Indexed Assets may not track the return of the Underlying Index as well as they would have if the Indexed Assets included all of the securities in the Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Indexed Assets are smaller, these risks will be greater. |
∎ | | Short position risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. |
∎ | | Subsidiary risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and, except as otherwise noted in the prospectus, is not subject to the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in the prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. |
∎ | | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, |
continued on page 12
11 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
continued from page 11
| which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Fund”), formerly Invesco Premium Income Fund, is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based
29 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
30 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Master Limited Partnerships — The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
G. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
H. | 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. |
I. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
J. | Exchange-traded Notes — The Fund may invest in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) which are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy, minus applicable fees. ETNs can be traded on an exchange and/or they can be held to maturity. At maturity, the issuer pays the investor a cash amount equal to the principal amount, subject to the day’s market benchmark or strategy factor. ETNs do not make periodic coupon payments or provide principal protection. The value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying assets and changes in the applicable interest rates. ETNs are subject to credit risk, including the credit risk of the issuer. |
K. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
L. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying
31 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
M. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
N. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
32 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of October 31, 2016 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
O. | Other Risks — The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claim. |
P. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
Q. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $500 million | | | 0.65% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.60% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.55% | |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.54% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.65%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.05%, 1.80%, 1.30%, 0.80%, 0.80% and 0.80%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $161,461 and reimbursed class level expenses of $77,926, $24,336, $503, $21,723 and $289 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively.
33 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 C and Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $23,628 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $2,470 from Class C shares, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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.

34 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level as of October 31, 2016, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap contract. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets generally. |
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $363.
36 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 7,248,908 | | | $ | 6,574,274 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 4,187,762 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 113,542 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (26,722 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (8,903,051 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 201,446,012 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 196,817,543 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and bond premiums.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 7,105,236 | | | $ | 1,797,815 | | | $ | 8,903,051 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |

NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of bond premium amortization, foreign currency transactions, futures contracts and swap income, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $495,378, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $469,744 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $25,634. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund (formerly, Invesco Premium Income Fund, the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period December 14, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective January 1, 2017, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expense of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.85%, 1.60%, 1.10%, 0.60%, 0.60% and 0.60% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 0.84%, 1.59%, 1.09%, 0.59%, 0.59% and 0.59% for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $4.36, $8.24, $5.66, $3.07, $3.07 and $3.07 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $4.27, $8.06, $5.53, $3.00, $3.00 and $3.00 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |

During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., Invesco Canada Ltd. and Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the
independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC currently manages certain assets of the Fund.
The Board noted that the Fund recently began operations and that comparative performance data for only the past four calendar years was available. The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past four calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one year and in the fifth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was above the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the index for the three year period. The
42 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was at the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February��28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates manage two other mutual funds using an investment process substantially similar to the investment process used for the Fund. The Board noted that both of the other mutual funds are fund of funds and Invesco Advisers does not charge advisory fees at the fund level. Invesco Advisors and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts using an investment process substantially similar to the investment process used for the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from
economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that although Invesco Advisers received a minimal amount of revenues from advising the Fund, Invesco Advisers and its affiliates did not make a profit from managing the Fund as a result of fee and expense waivers. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transaction through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that
Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for |
income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The Asia Pacific economy started to show signs of stabilizing during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. A combination of positive earnings across the region in the second quarter of 2016 combined with accommodative monetary policies and progress on reforms helped raise investor confidence.
After a strong rally in October 2015, markets in Asia retreated in November on concerns over the greater likelihood of a US Federal Reserve (the Fed) rate hike. In December, the Fed followed through on its commitment to normalize monetary policy by raising interest rates – its first increase since 2006. Monetary policies elsewhere moved in the opposite direction as the European Central Bank extended its asset purchase program and Japan introduced additional quantitative easing and even negative interest rates the following month.
It was a turbulent start to calendar year 2016, driven by investor concerns about further economic weakness in China and the selloff in commodities. By late February, markets had begun to recover, with some posting gains amid the concerted central bank commitments to very loose monetary policy. A sharp rise in property prices in first-tier cities in China and the start of the restocking cycle in information technology were some of the developments triggering a shift in sentiment. The global cyclical shift led to an increase in fund flows to Asia and a weakening US dollar, a development that was largely supportive of oil and stock prices. Throughout Asia, the rebound in oil prices and a general risk-on sentiment helped drive Asian markets in March, leading to a strong double-digit rally. Growth conditions, however, were reassessed in the subsequent months as economic conditions continued to be uneven.
June 2016 was an eventful month with global sentiment changing rapidly following the results of the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged and the Brexit referendum in the UK where voters opted to leave the European Union. Despite the heightened global market volatility, Asia Pacific equity markets ended on a high note, outperforming developed equity markets. There were high hopes for the new president in the Philippines. South Korea also announced a stimulus package while a few countries cut rates throughout Asia. Strong inflows into emerging markets continued to lift equity markets in Asia on the renewed growth prospects for the region. Positive earnings in China, Thailand, South Korea and Taiwan, as well as the pick-up in GDP in some countries, kept markets moving higher. However, sentiment once again started to shift over concerns regarding the outcome of the US presidential election and future monetary policies among developed countries toward the end of the reporting period. In Japan, a stronger Japanese currency amid risk-off mode resulting from China’s bubble fear, as well as Brexit shock weighed on Japanese equity markets for the reporting period on the back of investors’ concerns over corporate earnings particularly exporters. On top of that, the Bank of Japan’s surprising introduction of a negative interest rate policy caused most financials sector stocks like banks to decline.
On a geographic basis, positive stock selection in Japan was the leading contributor to relative Fund performance versus the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index. Stock selection in India and China contributed to Fund outperformance versus the style-specific index, as well. Underweight exposure versus the style-specific index in Hong Kong also helped the Fund’s relative performance.

In contrast, negative stock selection in South Korea was the leading detractor from the Fund’s relative performance versus the style-specific index following very strong contribution from previous reporting periods. Holdings in Australia, Thailand and Singapore also detracted from relative results.
At the sector level, stock selection in and underweight exposure to the financials sector led relative outperformance versus the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index. Bajaj Finance, an Indian non-banking finance company, was the leading contributor to Fund performance during the fiscal year. Australian bank and financial services provider, Westpac Banking, was also a key contributor to Fund performance within the financials sector. We sold the holding before the close of the reporting period.
Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector also contributed to relative Fund performance versus the style-specific index. Japanese discount retailer, Seria, was the largest contributor within the sector to Fund performance during the fiscal year. The company’s stock price rose after it announced strong results thanks to its share increase in the one-dollar shop segment in Japan. Nifco, a Japanese manufacturer and seller of industrial plastic parts and components, was a leading contributor to Fund performance within the sector during the reporting period, as well.
Conversely, stock selection in the health care sector was the leading detractor from both absolute and relative Fund performance versus the style-specific index. Yuhan, a pharmaceutical and chemical company based in South Korea, was the leading detractor from relative Fund performance within the sector.
Bumrungrad International Hospital, a multi-specialty medical center located in Bangkok, Thailand, and Green Cross, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Yongin, South Korea, were also detractors from the Fund’s relative performance during the reporting period.
Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the consumer staples sector was a detractor from relative performance versus the style-specific index. Nongshim, the largest ramen and snack food company in South Korea, was the largest detractor from relative performance within the sector. Stock selection in the telecommunication services sector detracted from relative Fund performance, as well. Australian telecommunications and IT company, TPG Telecom, was the largest detractor in the sector from Fund performance during the fiscal year.
During the reporting period, we reduced our exposure to the financials and energy sectors. The Fund’s Asia ex-Japan allocation favored consumer-related sectors, with overweight allocations in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors, as well as in the health care and IT sectors.
We continue to look for stocks that have a competitive edge to successfully expand businesses in the long term, and stocks with positive fundamentals and prospects that have not been priced across a broad range of sectors.
We thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Pacific Growth Fund.

During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
∎ | | Preferred securities risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |

Invesco Pacific Growth Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 23, 2011. Performance shown prior to that date is that of the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares was 1.78%, 2.53%, 2.53%, 2.03%, 1.53% and 1.39%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y and Class R5 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Depositary receipts risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counter-party risk is the risk that the counter-party to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they |
| do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. |
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation poli- |
| cies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Geographic focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. |
∎ | | Growth investing risk. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to the issuing company’s earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result, they tend to be more sensitive to changes in, or investors’ expectations of, the issuing company’s earnings and can be more volatile. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the econo- |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Pacific Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y and Class R5 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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”).
13 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s |
14 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund
| taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. When loaning securities, the Fund retains certain benefits of owning the securities, including the economic equivalent of dividends or interest generated by the security. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. The securities loaned are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination, the borrower will return to the Fund the securities loaned and the Fund will return the collateral. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral and the securities may lose value during the delay which could result in potential losses to the Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
K. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
15 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $1 billion | | | 0.87% | |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.82% | |
Over $2 billion | | | 0.77% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.87%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, 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, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.50%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,836.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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; (3) Class C — up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares; and (4) Class R — up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R 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 year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $59,798 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,475, $11 and $202 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 the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. 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 year ended October 31, 2016, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $4,115,696 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $44,242,891, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $603.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.

NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 93,489 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 135,906 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 12,249,167 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (10,289 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (92,375 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (15,507,699 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 83,691,736 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 80,466,446 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
October 31, 2017 | | $ | 14,498,927 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 14,498,927 | |
Not subject to expiration | | | 1,008,772 | | | | — | | | | 1,008,772 | |
| | $ | 15,507,699 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 15,507,699 | |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2016 was $24,277,608 and $25,339,322, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 14,124,815 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (1,875,648 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 12,249,167 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $68,485,303.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforwards, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was increased by $33,033, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $267,439 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $300,472. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Pacific Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Pacific Growth Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Pacific Growth Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited and Invesco Hong Kong Limited currently manage assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Pacific Region Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and three year periods and below the performance of the Index for the five year period. Invesco Advisers noted that the portfolio management team is managing to a new index, which has slightly lower exposure to Japan, but that the Fund still has larger exposure to Japan than its peers. The Trustees also reviewed more
23 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund
recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco
Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund to be excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to
certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and were advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to |
sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: ∎ Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. ∎ Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus.
∎ Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive.
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the US economy continued to expand. The initial estimate of US gross domestic product (GDP) showed the US economy grew by 2.9% in the third quarter, beating consensus estimates.1 However, annualized GDP is expected to be lower. Employment data were mixed, though the unemployment rate had a surprise uptick from 4.9% in August to 5.0% in September before ending the fiscal year at 4.9%.2 Oil prices traded in a range from the high $20s to the low $50s during the reporting period.3
The US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates in December 2015 – its first increase since 2006 – but that was its only increase during the reporting period. Major US stock market indexes posted gains for the reporting period, but they were fairly volatile. Stocks began
calendar year 2016 on a negative note, driven by investor concerns about economic weakness in China, falling oil prices and uncertainty over Fed policy, including rumors of possible negative interest rates in the US. Markets recovered in late February and posted gains until June when UK voters opted to leave the European Union, sending markets sharply lower once again. Markets again recovered, and major US equity indexes hit record highs during the summer.4 In this environment, investors generally favored the perceived safety of government bonds and more defensive, dividend-paying equities often found in the telecommunication services, utilities and consumer staples sectors.
Before we discuss the Fund’s results during the fiscal year, it is helpful to briefly explain how we manage the Fund for shareholders. We view ourselves as business people buying businesses, and we consider the purchase of a stock as an
ownership interest in a business. We strive to develop a proprietary view of a business through in-depth, fundamental research that includes careful financial statement analysis and meetings with company management. We then seek to purchase businesses whose stock prices are below what we have calculated to be the true value of the company based on its future free cash flows.
Our investment approach focuses on individual businesses rather than market sectors. Therefore, your Fund has little in common with sector weightings of various market indexes. However, if we were to broadly categorize businesses with which we had the most success during the fiscal year, our investments in select information technology (IT) and energy stocks were the largest contributors to Fund performance. Select holdings in the financials and energy sectors were among the largest detractors. Our avoidance of the utilities and consumer staples sectors also hurt the Fund’s relative performance, as these were some of the best-performing sectors in the Russell 2000 Index for the fiscal year.
IT sector holding TiVo (formerly Rovi) was the largest contributor to the Fund’s absolute performance for the fiscal year. TiVo is focused on revolutionizing the digital entertainment landscape by delivering solutions that enable consumers to intuitively connect to new entertainment from many sources and locations. TiVo holds over 5,000 issued or pending patents and patent applications worldwide. An example of the company’s technology is the TV Guide, a segment where TiVo has a 100% market share and 40% margins. Over the long term, we believe the growth opportunity of TiVo stems from sales increases from higher-margin, internally-developed guides and the sale

of ancillary services. The company’s share price rose over the reporting period as TiVo signed a major customer, which means that currently nine of the top 10 US TV service providers are licensing its guide patents. As litigation continues with the remaining TV service provider, we believe the probability of a licensing contract is high.
Energy sector holding GasLog was also a large contributor to the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year. GasLog is a merchant marine shipper of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The majority of the company’s ships have firm contracts with strategic, financially-strong customers. The contracts provide a steady cash flow with five-, seven- or 10-year terms. The company plays an important part in LNG transportation from low-cost producing countries to high-demand countries. The ships are modern and powered by tri-fuel diesel engines that enjoy a 30% cost savings compared to the existing fleet. The company’s management team is both strategic and patient, and has a large personal ownership in the company. The company’s stock price rose as there was a recovery in the day rate for LNG carriers. Longer term, we believe natural gas is set to gain market share versus other fossil fuels due to its relative cleanliness, lower cost and extremely long reserve life.
Financials sector holding Encore Capital Group was the largest detractor from absolute Fund performance for the fiscal year. Encore Capital Group is a leading global provider of debt recovery. The company purchases portfolios of defaulted credit at pennies on the dollar. It seeks repayment that amounts to multiple that of its acquisition costs. The competitive advantage of the business is that it is one of the largest debt recovery companies in the US. Therefore, the company has scale and is able to meet the regulatory needs of its clients, and has the infrastructure built to be successful in this space. Given its success in the US, the company has begun to expand internationally, which should benefit the company in the long term. Shares of the company declined during the fiscal year due to industry uncertainty and a changing regulatory environment.
Energy sector holding Ultra Petroleum was also a large detractor from the Fund’s absolute performance. Ultra Petroleum is a low-cost natural gas producer in the US. The company’s share price declined
during the reporting period due to increased balance sheet risk that resulted from low commodity prices that occurred throughout 2015 and in early 2016. Ultra Petroleum filed for bankruptcy protection in May of 2016 and we subsequently sold our position in the company.
During the fiscal year, we made some new investments and added to some of our existing holdings during periods of market volatility, which reduced the Fund’s cash position. We also sold several holdings based on valuations and other factors.
We continued to focus on finding quality businesses trading at attractive values relative to what we believe are their long-term prospects. In contrast, the market is often driven by short-term events or outlooks in both good times and bad. Market volatility during the reporting period allowed us to take advantage of investment opportunities we believe may benefit the Fund in the long term.
While we can never predict future Fund performance, we pledge to you that we will adhere to our discipline of being business people who buy businesses – and we will continually strive to upgrade the quality of your Fund’s portfolio.
As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco Select Companies Fund and for sharing our long-term investment perspective.

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, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares was 1.20%, 1.95%, 1.95%, 1.45%,
0.95% and 0.88%, 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, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares was 1.23%, 1.98%, 1.98%, 1.48%, 0.98% and 0.91%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class R, Class Y and Class R5 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing
in the Fund
∎ | | Cash/cash equivalents risk. In rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents will negatively affect the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark. |
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect |
| | the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | Limited number of holdings risk. Because the Fund may hold a more limited number of securities than other funds with a similar investment strategy, a change in the value of these securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments |
| | may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Sector focus risk. The Fund may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets (i.e. over 25%) in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. |
∎ | | Small- and mid-capitalization companies risks. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. |
∎ | | US government obligations risk. Obligations of US government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the US government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Select Companies Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y and Class R5 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the conversion date will be subject to a CDSC.
Effective the open of business on October 17, 2016, the Fund re-opened public sales of its shares to all investors.
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 securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they
12 Invesco Select Companies Fund
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 asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) 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 securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
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 the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
13 Invesco Select Companies Fund
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 are charged to such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0 | .745% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .73% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .715% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .685% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .67% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .655% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .64% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.73%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 waivers and/or expense reimbursements to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $90,317.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,461 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $641 and $242 from Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund incurred $4,426 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Investments in Other Affiliates
The 1940 Act defines an “affiliated person” as an issuance in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer. The following is a summary of the investments in other affiliates for the year ended October 31, 2016.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $2,716.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.

NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period-end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Long-term capital gain | | $ | 162,935,278 | | | $ | 132,504,743 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 19,965,493 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 6,914,281 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (284 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (162,787 | ) |
Late-Year ordinary loss deferral | | | (2,975,831 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 526,823,942 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 550,564,814 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.
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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $117,318,299 and $309,742,719, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 171,073,591 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (164,159,310 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 6,914,281 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $549,541,002.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating loss, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $9,928,916, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $2,443,703 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $7,485,213. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco Select Companies Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco Select Companies Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco Select Companies Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office
support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Canada Ltd. currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the fourth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers noted that performance was affected by negative stock selection in several sectors. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.

C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2015. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the effective advisory fee rate of one off-shore advised by Invesco Advisers using a similar investment process. The Board also noted how the Fund’s rate compared to the effective sub-adviser fee rate of one fund sub-advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower
fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. The Board noted that soft dollar arrangements shift the payment obligation for research services from Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to the Invesco Funds and that the research received may be used with other clients of Invesco Advisers and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expenses. The Board also considered that it receives periodic reports from the Chief Compliance Officer of the Invesco Funds demonstrating that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by
Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that the Fund may use an affiliated broker to execute certain trades for the Fund to, among other things, control information leakage, and was advised that such trades would be executed in compliance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and consistent with best execution obligations.

Letters to Shareholders
| | |

Philip Taylor | | Dear Shareholders: This annual report includes information about your Fund, including performance data and a complete list of its investments as of the close of the reporting period. Inside is a discussion of how your Fund was managed and the factors that affected its performance during the reporting period. In December 2015, the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first time since 2006, signaling its belief that the economy was likely to continue strengthening. Indeed, throughout the reporting period, US economic data were generally positive and the economy expanded at a moderate rate – but there were some bumps along the road. Job growth in May 2016 was very weak, but it was followed by strong increases in nonfarm payrolls in June and July. Increased concerns about global economic weakness caused US stock market indexes to sink at the start of calendar year 2016, but they eventually recovered; they sank again following |
the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, but then quickly recovered and reached record highs later in the summer. Strong demand for income-producing investments, particularly those perceived to be lower risk, benefited bonds as well as dividend-paying stocks for much of the reporting period. While economic news in the US was generally positive, news overseas was less upbeat. The European Central Bank, and central banks in China and Japan – as well as other countries – maintained extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies in response to economic weakness. As the fiscal year drew to a close, uncertainty about the outcome of the US presidential election resulted in increased market volatility; the surprise outcome after the close of the reporting period suggested that market volatility may continue for some time to come. |
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for average results. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction, take a long-term perspective and have a passion to exceed. Invesco’s pure focus on investment management eliminates possible distractions and means that there are no competing lines of business for us to support. Just as important, we embrace a variety of investment strategies, asset classes and geographies – because we know that no single investment approach meets the diverse needs of all of our clients. We manage all our investment approaches with a passion to exceed. All our investment teams have a highly disciplined, long-term investing style that eliminates short-term decision-making. Of course, investing with high conviction can’t guarantee a profit or ensure success; no investment strategy can. To learn more about how we invest with high conviction, visit invesco.com/HighConviction.
You, too, can invest with high conviction by maintaining a long-term investment perspective and by working with your financial adviser on a regular basis. During periods of short-term market volatility or uncertainty, your financial adviser can keep you focused on your long-term investment goals – a new home, a child’s college education or a secure retirement. He or she also can share research about the economy, the markets and individual investment options.

Bruce Crockett | | | | Dear Fellow Shareholders: Among the many important lessons I’ve learned in more than 40 years in a variety of business endeavors is the value of a trusted advocate. As independent chair of the Invesco Funds Board, I can assure you that the members of the Board are strong advocates for the interests of investors in Invesco’s mutual funds. We work hard to represent your interests through oversight of the quality of the investment management services your funds receive and other matters important to your investment, including but not limited to: |
| | | ∎ | | Ensuring that Invesco offers a diverse lineup of mutual funds that your financial adviser can use to strive to meet your financial needs as your investment goals change over time. |
| | | | ∎ | | Monitoring how the portfolio management teams of the Invesco funds are performing in light of changing economic and market conditions. |
∎ | Assessing each portfolio management team’s investment performance within the context of the investment strategy described in the fund’s prospectus. |
∎ | Monitoring for potential conflicts of interests that may impact the nature of the services that your funds receive. |
We believe one of the most important services we provide our fund shareholders is the annual review of the funds’ advisory and sub-advisory contracts with Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. This review is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and focuses on the nature and quality of the services Invesco provides as the adviser to the Invesco funds and the reasonableness of the fees that it charges for those services. Each year, we spend months carefully reviewing information received from Invesco and a variety of independent sources, such as performance and fee data prepared by Lipper Inc., an independent, third-party firm widely recognized as a leader in its field. We also meet with our independent legal counsel and other independent advisers to review and help us assess the information that we have received. Our goal is to assure that you receive quality investment management services for a reasonable fee.
I trust the measures outlined above provide assurance that you have a worthy advocate when it comes to choosing the Invesco Funds.
As always, please contact me at bruce@brucecrockett.com with any questions or concerns you may have. On behalf of the Board, we look forward to continuing to represent your interests and serving your needs.
Sincerely,

Bruce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year began in the midst of heightened global financial market volatility triggered by a significant sell-off in Chinese equities over economic growth concerns and uncertainty regarding China’s monetary and fiscal policy. In January, the confluence of global growth concerns with respect to emerging economies such as China and the effect of slower growth with respect to oil demand and lower oil prices and the impact that this had on energy company profits and firm solvency all came together to produce a “perfect storm” that roiled global financial markets. From just before the end of 2015 through mid-February, 10-year global government yields plummeted while government bond prices rose. Government bonds played their traditional role of buffering risk-asset volatility such as that of equities. Riskier asset
classes such as equities, commodities and bonds that carry credit risks associated with them (such as high yield and emerging market debt) posted significant losses.
With respect to global central bank policy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates in December 2015 – its first increase since 2006. Realizing the systemic risks from the fallout of financial markets and the subsequent financial tightening – which could significantly hamper economic growth and overall economic health – global central banks quickly acted to provide liquidity and more accommodative monetary policy measures to help spur growth. In the case of the Fed, it was more rhetoric as it adopted language stating that risks to the economy would slow the frequency of rate hikes and that the neutral rate would likely be lower than it has been historically. In September 2016, the Fed decided against raising short-term rates again, but signaled that a

Data presented here are as of October 31, 2016.
December hike would be likely. The Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank adopted negative interest rates in an attempt to stimulate growth by forcing investors to spend rather than save. These actions, together with the stabilization of oil prices, calmed markets and induced a significant rally across most risk asset classes. Additionally, the Bank of Japan adjusted its monetary policy in September in an effort to manage the steepness of its yield curve. This softened Japanese demand for US Treasuries, which helped to steepen the US yield curve as Japanese investors sold US Treasuries to purchase Japanese government bonds.
Geopolitics in the form of the UK vote to leave the European Union did its part to reignite volatility. However, it was short-lived as central banks remained diligent in their commitment to keep financial markets functioning and promote economic growth. The UK vote, coupled with negative global government interest rates, had the effect of driving the 10-year US Treasury yield to an all-time low of 1.37%.1 The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the reporting period at 1.84%, 32 basis points lower than at the beginning of the reporting period.1 (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)
All fixed income sectors (Treasuries, government-related, corporate and securitized debt) posted positive returns for the fiscal year. Exposure to global high yield and emerging market debt provided strong gains despite concerns over global growth, volatile commodity prices and the specter of Fed interest rate hikes. Helping to support returns in high yield and emerging market debt were very accommodative central bank policies, signs of recovery in various emerging market economies, and global demand for assets carrying adequate yields.
The Fund, at NAV, outperformed its broad market/style-specific benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Index, for the reporting period. Exposure to high yield corporate credit was one of the most notable contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. Overweight exposure and security selection within US dollar-denominated investment grade credit also added to performance relative to the Fund’s broad market/style-specific index. Security selection within high yield corporate credit detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s exposure to derivatives, which are used to hedge credit risk,
|
4 Invesco International Total Return Fund |
also detracted from relative returns. With respect to foreign currency, the Fund’s exposure to the British pound, the Chinese renminbi and Canadian dollar contributed to relative performance, while exposure to the euro, Japanese yen and Mexican peso detracted from Fund returns.
The Fund used active duration and yield curve positioning for risk management and for generating alpha versus its broad market/style-specific index. Alpha is a measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Duration measures a portfolio’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes. Yield curve positioning refers to actively emphasizing points (maturities) along the yield curve with favorable risk/return expectations. Duration and yield curve positioning across the various global yield curves contributed to Fund performance versus the Fund’s broad market/style-specific index. Duration was managed with cash, bonds and futures positions. Buying and selling interest rate futures contracts across multiple global yield curves was an important tool we used to manage interest rate risk and maintain our targeted portfolio duration.
Please note that we implemented our strategy using derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, swaps and options. Therefore, a portion of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain or hedge exposure to certain investment risks. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.
Part of the Fund’s strategy to manage credit and currency risk in the portfolio during the reporting period entailed purchasing and selling credit and currency derivatives. We managed credit market risk by purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps at various points throughout the fiscal year. The currency management was carried out via currency forwards and options on an as-needed basis and was effective in managing the currency positioning within the Fund.
We wish to remind you that the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, meaning when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities tends to fall. The risk may be greater in the current market environment because interest rates are at or near historic lows. The degree to which the value of fixed income securities may decline due to rising interest rates
may vary depending on the speed and magnitude of the increase in interest rates, as well as individual security characteristics such as price, maturity, duration and coupon and market forces such as supply and demand for similar securities. We are monitoring interest rates, and the market, economic and geopolitical factors that may impact the direction, speed and magnitude of changes to interest rates across the maturity spectrum, including the potential impact of monetary policy changes by the Fed and certain foreign central banks. If interest rates rise, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/ or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.10%, 1.85%, 1.85%, 0.85%, 0.85% and 0.85%, 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, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.72%, 2.47%, 2.47%, 1.47%, 1.16% and 1.16%, 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 4.25% 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, Class R5 and
Class R6 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.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information.

Principal risks of investing
in the Fund
∎ | | Active trading risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
∎ | | Changing fixed income market conditions risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates at or near zero. Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs. |
∎ | | Collateralized loan obligations risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may also lose |
value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorbs losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.
∎ | | Debt securities risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event. |
∎ | | Derivatives risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying |
asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counter-party risk is the risk that the counter-party to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
∎ | | Emerging markets securities risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, emerging markets may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may also be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, and lack of timely information. |

8 Invesco International Total Return Fund
∎ | | Foreign currency tax risk. If the US Treasury Department were to exercise its authority to issue regulations that exclude from the definition of “qualifying income” foreign currency gains not directly related to the Fund’s business of investing in securities, the Fund may be unable to qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event, the Fund’s Board of Trustees may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or other action. |
∎ | | Foreign government debt risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments. |
∎ | | Foreign securities risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign securities risk, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. |
∎ | | High yield debt securities (junk bond) risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with |
respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
∎ | | Liquidity risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices. |
∎ | | Management risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |
∎ | | Market risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value. |
∎ | | Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund’s income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates |
could reduce the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to the Fund. The Fund may invest in mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. Privately issued mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting requirements as those with government or government-sponsored entity guarantee and, therefore, mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics, and wider variances in interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics.
∎ | | When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when delivery occurs, and counter-party risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. |
∎ | | Zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities risk. The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2016
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco International Total Return Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end
16 Invesco International Total Return Fund
series management investment company consisting of twenty-two separate series portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each portfolio or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such portfolio or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 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 to Class A shares. 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 to Class A shares. 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 the 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. |
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote, if available, provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end-of-day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, company performance and returns of referenced assets.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
17 Invesco International Total Return Fund
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income — Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
18 Invesco International Total Return Fund
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
J. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies, but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards). The Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the daily mark-to-market obligation for forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the Counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
K. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Call Options Purchased and Written — The Fund may write call options and/or buy call options. A covered call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security or foreign currency at the stated exercise price during the option period. An uncovered call option exists without the ownership of the underlying security. Options written by the Fund normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
When the Fund writes a covered call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written covered call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written covered call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing an uncovered call option is that the Fund may incur significant losses if the value of the written security exceeds the exercise price of the option.
When the Fund buys a call option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the investment is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current value of the option purchased. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.
M. | Put Options Purchased and Written — The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option’s underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the
19 Invesco International Total Return Fund
owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund’s resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.
N. | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as
20 Invesco International Total Return Fund
a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. Cash held as collateral is recorded as deposits with brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding the same security long. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of October 31, 2016 for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
O. | Leverage Risk — Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. |
P. | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has designated or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $250 million | | | 0 | .65% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .59% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .565% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .54% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .515% | | | | |
Next $5 billion | | | 0 | .49% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .465% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.65%.
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 Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will 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 Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2017, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses 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, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.10%, 1.85%, 1.85%, 0.85%, 0.85% and 0.85%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2017. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2018, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $204,477 and reimbursed class level expenses of $80,139, $1,944, $15,234, $17,545 and $86 of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively.
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 year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Trust has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to
21 Invesco International Total Return Fund
the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares (collectively, the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $4,775 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $28, $320 and $160 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 the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2016. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a Fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level as of October 31, 2016 at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap contract. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets generally. |

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $730.
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 were eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provided 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.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.

NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 185,147 | | | $ | 767,377 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 156,806 | | | | — | |
Return of capital | | | 301,074 | | | | 645,161 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 643,027 | | | $ | 1,412,538 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2016 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — investments | | $ | (430,535 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (291,577 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (36,484 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 45,735,995 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 44,977,399 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2016.
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 year ended October 31, 2016 was $105,785,461 and $114,131,713, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,244,931 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (1,675,466 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities | | $ | (430,535 | ) |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $44,124,174.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of return of capital, foreign currency transactions, options, paydowns, swaps, dividends, distributions and net operating loss, on October 31, 2016, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $356,464, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $657,539 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $301,075. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees
and Shareholders of the Invesco World Bond Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Invesco World Bond Fund (formerly, Invesco International Total Return Fund, the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmation of security purchases have not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, 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 May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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 or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016, 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 184/366 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. Effective December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.94%, 1.69%, 1.69%, 0.69%, 0.69% and 0.69% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 0.94%, 1.69%, 1.69%, 0.69%, 0.69% and 0.69% for Class A, Class B and Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $4.71, $8.45, $8.45, $3.46, $3.46 and $3.46 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are $4.77, $8.57, $8.57, $3.51, $3.51 and $3.51 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve annually the renewal of Invesco International Total Return Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 7-8, 2016, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance for the Fund of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2016.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of compensation under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Board determined that continuation of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board’s Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees, which meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). Over the course of each year, the Sub-Committees meet with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies, limitations and investment risks of these funds. The Board had the benefit of reports from the Sub-Committees and Investments Committee throughout the year in considering approval of the continuance of each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts for another year.
During the contract renewal process, the Board receives comparative performance and fee data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Invesco Advisers and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Senior Officer’s
evaluation is prepared as part of his responsibility to manage the process by which the Invesco Funds’ proposed management fees are negotiated during the annual contract renewal process to ensure they are negotiated in a manner that is at arms’ length and reasonable. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel, the independent Trustees also discuss the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel.
The Trustees recognized that the advisory fee rates for the Invesco Funds are, in many cases, the result of years of review and negotiation. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of June 8, 2016, and does not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date.
Factors and Conclusions and Summary of Independent Written Fee Evaluation
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager or managers. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds such as various back office support functions, trading operations, internal audit, valuation and legal and compliance.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the benefits of reapproving an existing relationship and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers have offices and personnel that are located in financial centers around the world. As a result, the Board noted that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers can provide research and investment analysis on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and consistent with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement as well as the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as Invesco Asset Management Limited currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper International Income Funds Index. The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers noted that performance of the Fund was mostly driven by performance of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
33 Invesco International Total Return Fund
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual management fee rate to the contractual management fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Broadridge expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain administrative services fees, but that Broadridge does not provide information on a fund by fund basis as to what is included. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers does not separately charge the Invesco Funds for the administrative services included in the term as defined by Broadridge. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in providing expense group information, which includes using each fund’s contractual management fee schedule (including any applicable breakpoints) as reported in the most recent prospectus or statement of additional information for each fund in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund through at least February 28, 2017 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other mutual funds or client accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
The Board also considered the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the fees payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers retains overall responsibility for, and provides services to, sub-advised Invesco Funds, including oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described herein other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are not paid directly by the Fund, but rather, are payable by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered whether the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board also noted that the Fund shares directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory
and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers and a report from an independent consultant engaged by the Senior Officer about the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that although Invesco Advisers received a minimal amount of revenues from advising the Fund, Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries did not make a profit from managing the Fund. The Board received and accepted information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for providing transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
The Board considered the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as a result of portfolio brokerage transactions executed through “soft dollar” arrangements. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund does not execute brokerage transactions through “soft dollar” arrangements to any significant degree.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds
of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees received by Invesco Advisors from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.

There were no amendments to the Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) during the period covered by the report. The Registrant did not grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from any provisions of the Code to the PEO or PFO during the period covered by this report.
ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. |
The Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee financial expert is Raymond Stickel, Jr. Mr. Stickel is “independent” within the meaning of that term as used in Form N-CSR.
ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP informed the Trust that it has identified an issue related to its independence under Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the Loan Rule). The Loan Rule prohibits accounting firms, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, from being deemed independent if they have certain financial relationships with their audit clients or certain affiliates of those clients. The Trust is required under various securities laws to have its financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm.
The Loan Rule specifically provides that an accounting firm would not be independent if it receives a loan from a lender that is a record or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of an audit client’s equity securities. For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the Funds as well as all registered investment companies advised by the Adviser and its affiliates, including other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd. (collectively, the Invesco Fund Complex). PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP informed the Trust it has relationships with lenders who hold, as record owner, more than ten percent of the shares of certain funds within the Invesco Fund Complex. These relationships call into question PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence under the Loan Rule with respect to those funds, as well as all other funds in the Invesco Fund Complex.
On June 20, 2016, the SEC Staff issued a “no-action” letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to the audit independence issue described above. In that letter, the SEC confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against a fund that relied on audit services performed by an audit firm that was not in compliance with the Loan Rule in certain specified circumstances. In October 2016, in connection with its annual communication, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP communicated, as contemplated by the no-action letter, that it believes that it remains objective and impartial and that a reasonable investor possessing all the facts would conclude that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is able to exhibit the requisite objectivity and impartiality to report on the Funds’ financial statements as the independent registered public accounting firm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP also represented that it has complied with PCAOB Rule 3526(b)(1) and (2), which are conditions to the Funds relying on the no action letter, and affirmed that it is an independent accountant within the meaning of PCAOB Rule 3520. Therefore, the Adviser, the Funds and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP concluded that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP could continue to serve as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. The Invesco Fund Complex relied upon the no-action letter in reaching this conclusion.
If in the future the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is called into question under the Loan Rule by circumstances that are not addressed in the SEC’s no-action letter, the Fund will need to take other action in order for the Fund’s filings with the SEC containing financial statements to be deemed compliant with applicable securities laws. Such additional actions could result in additional costs, impair
the ability of the Funds to issue new shares or have other material adverse effects on the Funds. In addition, the SEC has indicated that the no-action relief will expire 18 months from its issuance after which the Invesco Funds will no longer be able rely on the letter unless its term is extended or made permanent by the SEC Staff

(e)(1)
PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees
of the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)
Last Amended May 4, 2016
| I. | Statement of Principles |
The Audit Committees (the “Audit Committee”) of the Boards of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”) have adopted these policies and procedures (the “Procedures”) with respect to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Funds’ independent auditor (the “Auditor”) to the Funds, and to the Funds’ investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Funds (collectively, “Service Affiliates”).
Under Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by the Auditor must be preapproved by the Audit Committee. Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee also pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”).
These Procedures set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which the Audit Committee may pre-approve audit and non-audit services for the Funds and a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other organizations and regulatory bodies applicable to the Funds (“Applicable Rules”).1 They address both general pre-approvals without consideration of specific case-by-case services (“general pre-approvals”) and pre-approvals on a case-by-case basis (“specific pre-approvals”). Any services requiring pre-approval that are not within the scope of general pre-approvals hereunder are subject to specific pre-approval. These Procedures also address the delegation by the Audit Committee of pre-approval authority to the Audit Committee Chair or Vice Chair.
| II. | Pre-Approval of Fund Audit Services |
The annual Fund audit services engagement, including terms and fees, is subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by an independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committee will receive, review and consider sufficient information concerning a proposed Fund audit engagement to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee will oversee the Fund audit services engagement as necessary, including approving any changes in terms, audit scope, conditions and fees.
In addition to approving the Fund audit services engagement at least annually and specifically approving any changes, the Audit Committee may generally or specifically pre-approve engagements for other audit services, which are those services that only an independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other audit services may include services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC.
1 Applicable Rules include, for example, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules applicable to closed-end funds managed by Invesco and listed on NYSE.
| III. | General and Specific Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Fund Services |
The Audit Committee will consider, at least annually, the list of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services which list may be terminated or modified at any time by the Audit Committee. To inform the Audit Committee’s review and approval of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and Auditor shall provide such information regarding independence or other matters as the Audit Committee may request.
Any services or fee ranges that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval. Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee for services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether to pre-approve such engagement, including evaluating whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor and is otherwise consistent with Applicable Rules.
| IV. | Non-Audit Service Types |
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of audit-related, tax or other services, each as described in more detail below.
“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by an independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; services related to mergers, acquisitions or dispositions; compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.
“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committee will not approve proposed services of the Auditor which the Audit Committee believes are to be provided in connection with a service or transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisers as necessary to ensure the consistency of tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy. The Auditor shall not represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee will include a description from the Auditor in writing of (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written, or otherwise) between the Auditor and the Funds, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor (or an affiliate of the Auditor) and any
person (other than the Funds or Service Affiliates receiving the services) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will also discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor, and document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee may pre-approve other non-audit services so long as the Audit Committee believes that the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor. Appendix I includes a list of services that the Auditor is prohibited from performing by the SEC rules. Appendix I also includes a list of services that would impair the Auditor’s independence unless the Audit Committee reasonably concludes that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements.
| V. | Pre-Approval of Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements |
Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve a Service Affiliate’s engagement of the Auditor for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds, defined above as a “Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement”.
The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, including for audit-related, tax or other services, as described above, if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the services to a Service Affiliate will not impair the independence of the Auditor with respect to the Funds. Any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagements that are not within the scope of General Pre-Approved Non-Audit Services have not received general pre-approval and require specific pre-approval.
Each request for specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee of a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include detailed information about the services to be provided, the fees or fee ranges to be charged, a description of the current status of the pre-approval process involving other audit committees in the Invesco investment company complex (as defined in Rule 2-201 of Regulation S-X) with respect to the proposed engagement, and other relevant information sufficient to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services will impair the independence of the Auditor from the Funds. Additionally, the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a statement that the proposed engagement requires pre-approval by the Audit Committee, the proposed engagement, in their view, will not impair the independence of the Auditor and is consistent with Applicable Rules, and the description of the proposed engagement provided to the Audit Committee is consistent with that presented to or approved by the Invesco audit committee.
Information about all Service Affiliate engagements of the Auditor for non-audit services, whether or not subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee, shall be provided to the Audit Committee at least quarterly, to allow the Audit Committee to consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds. The Funds’ Treasurer and Auditor shall provide the Audit Committee with sufficiently detailed information about the scope of services provided and the fees for such services, to ensure that the Audit Committee can adequately consider whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence from the Funds.
| VI. | Pre-Approved Fee Levels or Established Amounts |
Pre-approved fee levels or ranges for audit and non-audit services to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds, and for a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, under general pre-approval or specific pre-approval will be set periodically by the Audit Committee. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fee levels or ranges for such services or engagements will be promptly presented to the Audit Committee and will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee before payment of any additional fees is made.
The Audit Committee may from time to time delegate specific pre-approval authority to its Chair and/or Vice Chair, so that the Chair or, in his or her absence, Vice Chair may grant specific pre-approval for audit and non-audit services by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement between Audit Committee meetings. Any such delegation shall be reflected in resolutions adopted by the Audit Committee and may include such limitations as to dollar amount(s) and/or scope of service(s) as the Audit Committee may choose to impose. Any such delegation shall not preclude the Chair or Vice Chair from declining, on a case by case basis, to exercise his or her delegated authority and instead convening the Audit Committee to consider and pre-approve any proposed services or engagements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any non-audit services to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000 and any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000 must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee and may not be delegated to the Chair or Vice Chair.
| VIII. | Compliance with Procedures |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to pre-approve any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X shall not constitute a violation of these Procedures. The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to ensure services and engagements are pre-approved in compliance with these Procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will immediately report to the Chair of the Audit Committee, or the Vice Chair in his or her absence, any breach of these Procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or any services or engagements that are not required to be pre-approved pursuant to the de minimis exception provided for in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will provide the Audit Committee with a summary of all non-audit services provided to any entity in the investment company complex (as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, including the Funds and Service Affiliates) that were not pre-approved, including the nature of services provided and the associated fees.
| IX. | Amendments to Procedures |
All material amendments to these Procedures must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. Non-material amendments to these Procedures may be made by the Legal and Compliance Departments and will be reported to the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee.
Appendix I
Non-Audit Services That May Impair the Auditor’s Independence
