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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its |
losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 All Cap Market Neutral 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
Despite highly destructive hurricanes that threatened to derail a year-long recovery, the US economy continued to expand throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. Gross domestic product (GDP) – the value of all goods and services produced in the US – grew by 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016, and by 1.2% in the first quarter and 3.1% in the second quarter of 2017.1 Inflation remained subdued even as the labor market continued to strengthen. Unemployment continued its multiyear decline, hitting just 4.2% in September – a 16-year low.2
Given signs of an improving economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates three times during the reporting period, most recently in June 2017.3 The Fed pledged that “realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation” will guide its future actions. At the close of the reporting period, Fed policy remained accommodative, and the fed funds target rate stood at a range of 1.00% to 1.25% – up 75 basis points for the reporting period.3 (A basis point is 0.01%)
Despite the Fed’s actions, major US stock market indexes repeatedly hit all-time highs throughout the reporting

period. The stock market rally began immediately following the outcome of the US presidential election in November 2016, based on investors’ hopes for reduced regulation, lowered corporate and personal tax rates and increased infrastructure spending. The stock market rally continued throughout the reporting period, fueled by generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and improved consumer confidence – even as the prospect for health care and tax reform faded somewhat.
The Fund follows a market neutral strategy, which is intended to produce a portfolio that experiences minimal influence from the return patterns of the general US stock market. The Fund seeks neutral positioning in terms of beta (market exposure) by seeking to maintain neutral sector and industry exposures. The Fund uses a systematic model that evaluates fundamental and behavioral factors to forecast individual security returns and risks and ranks these securities based on their attractiveness relative to industry peers. Implementation occurs by establishing a portfolio with long positions in highly ranked stocks and shorting those that are poorly ranked. As such, the goal is to provide absolute risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle, regardless of the directions of equity markets.
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 Citi US Three-Month Treasury Bill Index.

4 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund |
During the fiscal year, the Fund benefited the most from a positive long/short spread in seven of the 11 market sectors, led by the information technology (IT), consumer discretionary, materials and industrials sectors. However, the long/ short spread in the energy and financials sectors partially offset those gains and detracted from the Fund’s returns during the reporting period.
During the fiscal year, the strongest contributors to absolute Fund performance were holdings in the consumer discretionary sector. Specifically, the long holdings in consumer services were up over 40%, while the short positions marginally declined, generating positive returns from both sides. The Fund’s short holdings in the consumer durables and apparel industry performed as expected and were also additive to Fund returns. In the strong-performing IT sector, the Fund’s short positions rose in price, detracting from returns, but were more than offset by stronger gains in the long positions. This was most evident in the computers/electronics and semiconductor industries.
The energy sector was the largest detractor from Fund performance for the reporting period as its long/short spread was negative, mostly due to short positions in the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry. In addition, losses in long positions in the energy sector hampered Fund performance. In the financials sector, the Fund’s short positions – specifically, those in the banking and insurance industries – negatively impacted performance primarily in the fourth quarter of 2016 as the election of Donald Trump led to a broad-based rally in these industries. This rally was reversed somewhat in the following two quarters of 2017.
Please note that the Fund may utilize derivative instruments that include equity-related total return swaps and futures contracts. During the reporting period, the Fund utilized equity-related total return swaps to efficiently implement its strategy and gain long and/or short exposure to the various sectors/ industries described above, but did not use future contracts. The implementation impact of using equity-related total return swaps is a component of transaction costs. Certain derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.

| 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. |

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 1.45%, 2.20%, 1.70%, 1.20%, 1.05% and 1.04%, 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 C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.47%, 2.22%, 1.72%, 1.22%, 1.07% and 1.06%, 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.

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. 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. |
∎ | | 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 |

|
NOT FDIC INSURED | MAY LOSE VALUE | NO BANK GUARANTEE |
| 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 |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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.
See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements which are an integral part of the financial statements.
17 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. Dividend income and dividend expense on short sales are 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
18 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
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.
19 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral 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.
K. | 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.
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.
L. | 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. |
M. | 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. |

20 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Fund had paid 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.93%.
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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, 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 1.62%, 2.37%, 1.87%, 1.37%, 1.37% and 1.37%, 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 February 28, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $33,021 and reimbursed class level expenses of $6,723, $1,974, $31, $11,905 and $49 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $4,290 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,506 and $4,574 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
21 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $552.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,597,598 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 93,763 | | | | 53,030 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 93,763 | | | $ | 4,650,628 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | $ | 15,127,768 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 12,290,905 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (6,641 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 101,297,766 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 128,709,798 | |
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 swap agreements.
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.
23 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2017.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $221,975,495 and $290,225,550, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 investments | | $ | 12,290,905 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $116,866,697.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses and swap agreement income, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $7,566,932, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $6,818,945 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $14,385,877. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

25 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of 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 the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco All Cap Market Neutral Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 three years in the period then ended and for the period December 17, 2013 (commencement of investment 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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 184/365 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 All Cap Market Neutral Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 only had three years of performance history and compared the Fund’s investment performance during the past one and three 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 year period and the first 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 below the performance of the Index for the one year period and above the performance of the Index for the three year period. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
28 Invesco All Cap Market Neutral 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, 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.
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, 2016. 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 noted that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its |
losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Balanced-Risk Allocation 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, each of the asset classes in which the Fund invests (directly or indirectly through derivatives), with the exception of fixed income, provided positive contributions to Fund performance. For the reporting period, the Fund at NAV reported positive absolute performance. 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 allocation 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 strategic exposure to equities, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, led results for the reporting period, with all six markets in which the Fund invests posting positive returns. Asian equities were the leading contributor as Japanese equity prices were boosted by increased exports. Hong Kong equities provided further positive influence from the Asian region, rising in sympathy with emerging markets, which enjoyed a substantial rally. While the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy from the European Central Bank (ECB) and Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained sources of political and economic uncertainty, European and UK equities performed strongly due to improved economic data and positive confidence surveys. US equities (both large- and small-caps) also contributed to the Fund’s
Performance. The reporting period began with most major US stock market indexes hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question after the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated. Tactical positioning in US equities, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, contributed to Fund performance for the reporting period as overweight exposure to the asset class proved timely.
The Fund’s exposure to commodities, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, also contributed to Fund performance for the fiscal year, as gains in industrial metals and energy outweighed losses in agriculture and precious metals. Strategic positioning in industrial metals was the leading performer within the asset class, with gains in both aluminum and copper. Increased industrial metals prices were supported by strong manufacturing and import growth data out of China and by indications that China intended to cut production to curb pollution. The Fund’s strategic positioning within energy was also favorable as all assets, with the exception of natural gas, experienced gains. The energy commodity sector started the fiscal year plagued by high inventory levels and rising US production and rig counts. These conditions lasted throughout much of the first half of 2017. Oil and distillate prices rebounded in the third quarter of 2017 as the US rig count declined and expectations rose for an extension of OPEC’s production cuts. Severe weather also affected energy prices in the third quarter of 2017 as

hurricanes forced refinery shutdowns that further boosted prices. Natural gas prices rose at the beginning of the fiscal year, but those gains were not enough to outweigh the losses from rising US output at the end of the fiscal year. Strategic positioning in precious metals detracted from Fund performance with both gold and silver posting negative results. Precious metals were pressured as the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period – in December 2016, and in March and June 2017 – and by expectations for another increase in December 2017. Strategic positioning in agriculture was the leading detractor within the sector. Most agriculture assets posted losses, lean hogs and live cattle posted gains, and cotton was flat. Lean hogs and live cattle rose due to strong US export demand. Sugar was by far the leading detractor as production increased despite softer global demand. Tactical positioning within commodities, obtained through the use of futures, swaps and commodity-linked notes, slightly detracted from Fund results for the reporting period.
The Fund’s exposure to global government bonds, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, detracted from results for the reporting period. Despite expectations that the ECB would likely begin tapering its monetary policy accommodation, German government bonds were the sole contributor to performance within the fixed income asset class. Canadian government bonds were the largest detractor within the fixed income asset class as yields rose after the Central Bank of Canada raised rates in July. Yields spiked again in the third quarter of 2017 in response to a surprise rate hike by the Central Bank of Canada. The Fund’s tactical positioning within bonds detracted from performance as losses from overweight exposure to Canadian and UK government bonds, coupled with underweight exposure to German government bonds, outweighed gains from underweight exposure to Australian and US government bonds.
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.

Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.28%, 2.03%, 2.03%, 1.53%, 1.03%, 0.97% and 0.90%, 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 1.35%, 2.10%, 2.10%, 1.60%, 1.10%, 1.04% and 0.97%, 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. As a result of a recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service, the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked notes: (a) directly, generally only to the extent that it obtains an opinion of counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue further 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 |

|
|
NOT FDIC INSURED | MAY LOSE VALUE | NO BANK GUARANTEE |
| 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 |
|
8 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund |
| 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. 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 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 |
continued on page 10
|
9 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund |
continued from page 9
| 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 this 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 this 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, 2017
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 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 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
17 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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 investment 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.
18 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. 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 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. |
19 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
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. |
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 equitize the Fund’s cash holdings 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. |
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. |
20 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
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.
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 and commodity-linked 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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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% | | | | |

For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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, 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 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.
21 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
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, 2018. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $3,045,950.
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, 2017, 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 services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $287,069 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $3,410, $5 and $61,915 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, 2017. 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.
22 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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.

| | Futures Contracts | | | Swap Agreements | |
Average notional value | | $ | 5,811,749,924 | | | $ | 1,017,416,903 | |
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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $25,014.
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.
24 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation 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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 276,778,756 | | | $ | 304,855,039 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 128,250,181 | | | | 111,430,320 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 405,028,937 | | | $ | 416,285,359 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 150,471,658 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 151,700,940 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 36,930,443 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (676,623 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 4,665,229,938 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 5,003,656,356 | |
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 futures contracts and swap agreements.
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, 2017.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $167,200,000 and $214,127,570, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $0 and $326,186,405, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 72,172,341 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (35,241,898 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 36,930,443 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $4,834,809,049.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of income and distributions from the subsidiary, futures contracts, net operating losses and swap income, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $35,298,809, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $35,298,857 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $48. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Note 13—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.
27 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and its subsidiary (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

28 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation 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 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, 2017, through October 31, 2017.
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.

29 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 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment 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 first quintile of its performance universe for the one and three year periods and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that 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
30 Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation 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 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, 2016. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the rate of one such mutual fund and below the rates of two off-shore funds. 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 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 that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central |
banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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,

Broce L. Crockett

Market conditions and your Fund
The fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, was a strong period for industrial metals and energy but a tough year for agriculture and, to a lesser extent, precious metals. The Fund’s ability to tactically adjust its exposure to assets did not have a meaningful impact on Fund performance, as gains in energy and industrial metals were offset by losses in precious metals and agriculture. 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.
Strategic positioning in industrial metals was the leading contribution to Fund performance during the fiscal year as gains in copper outpaced those of aluminum. Both metals started the fiscal year strongly due to solid Chinese manufacturing data and optimism for infrastructure spending under the newly elected Trump administration. Copper prices were further aided by mine strikes and fears of
inventory shortages, as well as a weaker US dollar. Aluminum benefited from similar trends as well as indications that the Chinese government was committed to cutting aluminum production in order to curb pollution. The Fund’s tactical exposure to industrial metals, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, contributed to Fund performance as overweight allocations to aluminum, copper and zinc out weighed minor losses from nickel. Nickel and zinc are commodities the Fund trades only to a smaller degree within our tactical allocation due to their lower liquidity.
Strategic positioning in energy contributed to Fund performance due to gains in oil and distillates during the reporting period. Unleaded gasoline was the top contributor to Fund performance within the complex, followed by Brent crude oil. Energy prices and performance fluctuated throughout the fiscal year due to uncertainty around OPEC production cuts and a glut of global supply. The complex started the fiscal year on a positive note as OPEC agreed to cut crude oil production by 1.2 million barrels per day.1
However, high inventory levels and reports of rising US production and rig counts weighed on crude oil prices during the first half of 2017. Oil and distillate prices rebounded in the third quarter of 2017 as the rig count in the US declined and expectations for an extension of OPEC’s production cuts rose. Severe weather also affected energy prices in the third quarter of 2017 as hurricanes forced refinery shutdowns, further boosting prices. Within the energy complex, natural gas was the only asset to suffer losses, as temperate weather reduced demand. The Fund’s tactical exposure to energy, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, contributed to performance due to an underweight position in natural gas and overweight allocations to Brent crude oil and heating oil.
The Fund’s strategic positioning in precious metals detracted from Fund performance as both gold and silver declined in price, with silver suffering the larger net loss. Despite signs of rising global inflation, a weaker US dollar and geopolitical tensions with North Korea, precious metals were pressured by the US Federal Reserve increasing interest rates three times during the fiscal year – and expectations for another increase in December 2017. The Fund’s tactical positioning within precious metals, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, also detracted from Fund performance due to an overweight position in both gold and silver.
The Fund’s strategic positioning within agriculture was the main detractor from Fund performance for the fiscal year as most assets, with the exception of lean hogs and live cattle, posted losses. Lean hogs and live cattle prices rose due to strong US export demand and fears of supply shortages. Sugar was by far the worst-performing asset in the agriculture complex; prices were weighed down by

rising global production even as demand fell. Losses in coffee also hurt the agriculture complex as the world’s largest grower, Brazil, had a good harvest. Soybeans and soymeal came under pressure due to a record Brazilian harvest that cut into US exports. Additionally, good weather and growing conditions in the US led to another strong harvest for grains; this put additional pressure on soybeans, soymeal, corn and wheat. Tactical agriculture exposure, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes, detracted from Fund performance as gains from exposure to sugar, soybeans and cotton weren’t enough to outweigh losses from coffee, lean hogs and wheat.
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

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.

∎ 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 this 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 this 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.
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 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.

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. As a result of a recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service, the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked notes: (a) directly, generally only to the extent that it obtains an opinion of counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue further 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 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.
∎ | | 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. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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.
16 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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 investment 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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
17 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
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. |
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.
18 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
J. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings or to manage exposure to interest rate, equity, commodity 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 on non-LME futures contracts 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. For LME contracts, subsequent or variation margin payments are not made and the value of the contracts is presented as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When LME or non-LME 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. |
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, commodity 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 and commodity-linked 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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.02%.
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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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, 2018, 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, 2018. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $553,213.
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, 2017, 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 services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $18,947 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,053, $62 and $4,720 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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 5—Investments in Affiliates
The Fund’s Adviser and the adviser for PowerShares DB Gold Fund are subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. and therefore, PowerShares DB Gold Fund is considered to be affiliated with the Fund. The following is a summary of the transactions in, and earnings from, investments in PowerShares DB Gold Fund for the year ended October 31, 2017.

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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,035.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 23,295,802 | | | $ | — | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 12,855,516 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (128,690 | ) |
Late-year ordinary loss deferrals | | | (2,878,673 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (45,371,223 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 895,985,347 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 860,462,277 | |
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.
23 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2017, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 40,365,516 | | | $ | 5,005,707 | | | $ | 45,371,223 | |
* | 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 Transactions
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, 2017 was $21,957,398 and $30,313,241, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $0 and $21,091,285, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 53,479,582 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (40,624,066 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 12,855,516 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $799,274,578.
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of subsidiary suspended passive losses, swap agreement income and net operating losses, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $8,871,888, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $14,520,345 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $5,648,457. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 14 --Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund and its subsidiary (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017, through October 31, 2017.
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.

28 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity 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 Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment 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 third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the second 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 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. 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
29 Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy 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 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 that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain | | |
extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Developing Markets 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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 reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.
Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s economy continued to stabilize. Most emerging markets performed well
during the reporting period. In addition to an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.
Interestingly, while 2017 marked the eighth year of the global bull market, we saw a shift in leadership as international stocks outperformed US stocks in the first three quarters of 2017. International stocks had trailed US stocks for four consecutive years and in six of the last seven years. As the reporting period came to a close, both developed and emerging equity markets appeared somewhat fully valued despite material discounts to the US market. In addition, recent earnings growth and earnings revision trends improved for many non-US developed markets.
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 Russia, Brazil, Hong Kong and Thailand delivered double-digit gains, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in each of these markets and contributing favorably to both absolute and relative Fund performance. Not having exposure to South Africa, a relatively weak market over the reporting period, supported relative results, as well. In contrast, Fund holdings in Israel and Mexico delivered negative returns and detracted from both absolute and relative Fund performance. Although the Fund delivered double-digit gains in China and South Korea, a meaningful underweight position in these strong markets detracted from relative returns.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s holdings in the financials, consumer staples, consumer discretionary and energy sectors outperformed those of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and contributed favorably to both relative and absolute returns. The Fund’s holdings in the information technology (IT) and telecommunication services sectors, however, underperformed those of the broad market/style-specific index and were among the most significant detractors from the Fund’s performance. Underweight exposure to the IT sector – one of the reporting period’s best-performing sectors – was a drag on relative returns. Within this sector, not owning two of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index’s best-performing stocks over the reporting period – China-based Tencent Holdings and Alibaba Group – was a meaningful drag on relative performance.
The market showed little concern for valuation over the fiscal year, with investors accepting very high valuations for these types of momentum growth stocks. The Fund did not hold these stocks because we believed elevated valuations did not offer attractive risk-reward profiles.

4 Invesco Developing Markets Fund
The Fund’s cash exposure (which averaged around 15% over the reporting period), in a strong up-market, was a meaningful detractor from Fund performance versus the broad market/style-specific benchmark. 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. Over the reporting period, cash tended to be higher than the long-term average (generally less than 10% of total net assets) primarily due to the valuation component of our EQV philosophy. As the market moved higher, we trimmed and/or sold a number of stocks based on valuation. Unfortunately, it has been challenging to redeploy the proceeds because valuation is such an integral part of our EQV approach and many high-quality stocks remained very expensive.
From an individual securities perspective, Kweichow Moutai, a Chinese spirits company, was the top contributor to Fund performance for the reporting period. Moutai’s strong performance was driven by a growing demand from young Chinese consumers for the company’s iconic grain liquor products. The company’s investment in marketing campaigns has been successful in attracting a new set of affluent consumers who buy Moutai for social events, leading to record revenues for the company. Toward the end of the reporting period, we took profits and trimmed our position in Moutai as we believed valuations started to look a little stretched.
In contrast, Israel-based pharmaceutical maker Teva Pharmaceutical Industries was among the most significant detractors from Fund performance for the reporting period. Teva reported disappointing results, largely due to a tough pricing environment for generic drugs. Management reduced revenue and cash flow guidance for the company’s fiscal year, citing the Food and Drug Administration’s delayed approval on new generic drugs. We reduced the Fund’s position due to these deteriorating fundamentals.
During the reporting period, we continued to look for opportunities to improve the growth potential and quality of the Fund’s portfolio by adding companies based on our EQV outlook for each company. New additions to the portfolio included Brazil-based educational company Kroton Educacional, Philippines-based shopping mall developer SM Investments, Brazil-based personal care
sales company Raia Drogasil and China-based milk products manufacturer Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group. We trimmed or sold several of the Fund’s holdings with EQV characteristics that were no longer as compelling as when we first initiated positions in them, including Fuyao Glass Industry Group, Cetip, US Energy Development and Perusahaan Gas Negara.
Over the reporting period, we continued to look for opportunities to improve the growth potential and quality of the Fund’s portfolio. As disconcerting as volatility may be, we believe it tends to create long-term opportunities for our shareholders and we caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. Our balanced EQV-focused approach aligns with our goal of delivering attractive returns over the long term.
We thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Developing Markets 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 B, Class C, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.42%, 2.17%, 2.17%, 1.17%, 1.05% and 1.00%, 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 1.43%, 2.18%, 2.18%, 1.18%, 1.06% and 1.01%, 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.

7 Invesco Developing Markets Fund
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, 2017, 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 to only certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares are available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. 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, 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 market 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 unpre- |

dictably. 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, 2017
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 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 June 8, 2017, the Fund has closed public sales of its shares to new 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. 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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
14 Invesco Developing Markets 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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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 Developing Markets 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 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.
16 Invesco Developing Markets 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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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, 2018, 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, 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. 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $471,767.
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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $101,321 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $47,086, $30 and $8,736 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $302,880,113 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $286,552,699 due to foreign fair value adjustments.

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 (excluding affiliated money market funds) for the year ended October 31, 2017.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $14,838.

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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 23,907,023 | | | $ | 27,005,560 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 32,055,189 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 665,249,850 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (161,444 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (380,994 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (103,452,981 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 2,852,010,074 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 3,445,319,694 | |
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 passive foreign investment companies and 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, 2017 as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |

Note 13—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Developing Markets Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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.

23 Invesco Developing Markets 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 Developing Markets Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Lipper Emerging Market 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, the second 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 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. 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 Developing Markets 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 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, 2016. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was below the rate of two such mutual funds.
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 that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative |
monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
Emerging market debt posted strong returns over the reporting period. Hard currency sovereign debt returned 6.32%, corporate debt returned 6.18% and local currency debt returned 5.18%.1 Price appreciation for US dollar-denominated debt was driven by a credit spread tightening that offset higher US Treasury yields. US 10-year Treasuries ended the fiscal year yielding 2.38%, 56 basis points higher than a year prior.2 (A basis
point is 0.01%.) Emerging market sovereign credit spreads tightened 57 basis points over the reporting period to end at 2.83%.1 Corporate credit spreads also tightened by 78 basis points.1 The change in US Treasuries reflected stronger expectations for US growth and inflation versus a year prior, while the tightening in emerging market credit spreads was largely the result of sustained flows into the asset class driven by a global hunt for yield in a low yield environment.

Data presented here are as of October 31, 2017.
For local currency debt, returns were driven by local rates. The return for the asset class in local currency terms was 6.17% for the fiscal year, while depreciation of emerging market currencies against the dollar detracted from performance in US dollar terms over the reporting period.1
Emerging market bonds had a difficult start to the fiscal year driven by the result of the US presidential election in November of 2016, which drove emerging markets broadly lower. However, the asset class rebounded strongly, delivering positive returns in 10 of the following 11 months. Over the reporting period, emerging markets benefited significantly from dovish global central bank policies, incremental improvements across several macroeconomic issues, a recovery in oil prices and continued inflows into the asset class.
For both sovereign and corporate debt, high yield bonds significantly outperformed investment grade bonds for the reporting period.1 For sovereign debt, the top-performing regions were Latin America and Africa, while Asia lagged. The top-performing countries included Iraq, Mozambique and Belize, while Venezuela, Bolivia and Slovakia were the worst performers. For corporate debt, Africa and Latin America were the top-performing regions, while the Middle East lagged. At the sector level, metals and mining, and oil and gas were the top performers for the reporting period, while the consumer and diversified sectors lagged. For local currency-denominated debt, the top-performing countries during the reporting period were Russia, Brazil and Peru, while Turkey, the Philippines and China were the only countries to post negative returns.
The Fund generated its return over the reporting period with less volatility than the underlying emerging markets themselves. The Fund’s returns were generated from exposure to US dollar-denominated sovereign and corporate debt, in addition to local market interest rate exposures. The Fund’s allocation to sovereign and corporate credit risk, as well as local rates risk, were positive contributors to Fund performance, while foreign exchange risk detracted from Fund returns for the reporting period. The top-contributing countries for credit were Mexico, Ecuador, Ghana and Zambia, while top-contributing local rates markets were Indonesia, India, Mexico and Russia.

4 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund |
At the close of the reporting period, we believed the current backdrop of stable global growth, low inflation and accommodative financial conditions – in spite of the US Federal Reserve beginning to unwind its balance sheet – were supportive of emerging market asset prices, and we have seen an increase in idiosyncratic credit opportunities. While the macroeconomic backdrop remains supportive for emerging markets, we are closely monitoring geopolitical events in the Middle East, NAFTA negotiations and upcoming elections in Latin America, as such events have potential to weigh on the market. Market volatility globally remained exceptionally low during the reporting period. In local debt, the Fund’s positioning became more defensive, as we reduced some long duration positions and moved to reduced emerging market currency risk exposure. We continue to look for relative value opportunities intraregionally where monetary policy divergences are growing.
Please note that our strategy is implemented with derivative instruments. 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.
Thank you for your investment in Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund.

R6 shares was 1.25%, 2.00%, 2.00%, 1.50%, 1.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, 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 B, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.93%, 2.68%, 2.68%, 2.18%, 1.68%, 1.30% and 1.30%, 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.

∎ | | 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. As a result of a recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service, the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked notes: (a) directly, generally only to the extent that it obtains an opinion of counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue further 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 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 bet 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. |
∎ | | 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. |

continued from page 9
∎ | | 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 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 this 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 this prospectus and the SAI, and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. |

(i) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2017, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement 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. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond 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 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 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.
20 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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 investment 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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. 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 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, 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. |
22 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond 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 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 equitize the Fund’s cash holdings 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. |
M. | Call Options Purchased and Written — The Fund may write covered 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. 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
23 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
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 call options written are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Option contracts written. 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 call options purchased are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities. 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. | 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 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 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
24 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
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.
Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreement outstanding as of October 31, 2017 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.
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 and commodity-linked 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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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, 2019, 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. 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $205,843 and reimbursed class level expenses of $15,521, $264, $4,030, $914, $3,727 and $181 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, 2017, 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 services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $982 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. |
26 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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 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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $400.

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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,411,051 | | | $ | — | |
Return of capital | | | — | | | | 2,413,189 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 2,411,051 | | | $ | 2,413,189 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 886,199 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 1,114,567 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (12,984 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (25,597 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (1,713,795 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 57,637,480 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 57,885,870 | |
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 foreign currency contracts.
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, 2017, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,713,795 | | | $ | 1,713,795 | |
* | 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. |

Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 1,114,567 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $54,146,472.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of swap income and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $943,355, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $1,009,738 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $66,383. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Note 13—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund and its subsidiary (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

32 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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.

33 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) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board noted that the Fund had changed its name, investment strategy and index on February 26, 2016. As a result, and since there was less than a calendar year of current performance, 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 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
34 Invesco Emerging Markets Flexible Bond Fund
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, 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.
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, 2016. The Board also noted how the Fund’s rate compared to the effective advisory fee of six 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 eservices 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 Advisers 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European |
Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Equity 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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

Market conditions and your Fund
The reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.
Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s economy continued to stabilize. Most emerging markets performed well during the reporting period. In addition to

an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.
Interestingly, while 2017 marked the eighth year of the global bull market, we saw a shift in leadership as international stocks outperformed US stocks in the first three quarters of 2017. International stocks had trailed US stocks for four consecutive years and in six of the last seven years. As the reporting period came to a close, both developed and emerging equity markets appeared somewhat fully valued despite material discounts to the US market. In addition, recent earnings growth and earnings revision trends improved for many non-US developed markets.
The Fund stayed true to its process by emphasizing its quality orientation in stock selection. Our stock selection in the consumer discretionary, financials, health care and consumer staples sectors made the largest contributions to the Fund’s results versus its style-specific

benchmark. Holdings in the information technology (IT) and materials sectors detracted from relative performance for the reporting period. In addition, the Fund’s lack of holdings in the real estate sector hampered relative performance, as did the Fund’s cash position.
From a geographic perspective, stock selection in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia and Thailand contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. Conversely, stock selection in Brazil and Mexico detracted from relative performance.
The largest contributor to Fund performance was Samsung Electronics. During the fiscal year, the company reported record operating profits in spite of tumult at the management level. Also advancing within the Asia Pacific region was Tencent Holdings, which benefited from strong earnings and profits from its mobile game segment. In addition, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing contributed to Fund performance due to major mobile product launches and healthy demand for its products during the reporting period.
Conversely, Gerdau, a Brazilian steel company, was the largest individual detractor from Fund performance for the reporting period. Gerdau’s stock was hurt by poor earnings and currency fluctuations. Also detracting from Fund performance was Brazilian power company Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais (CEMIG). The stock performed poorly after a Brazilian court effectively blocked the company from continuing to operate a hydroelectric dam, one of several assets the company was seeking to sell to raise cash. We sold our positions in Gerdau and CEMIG during the reporting period.
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 energy, health care, materials, telecommunication services and utilities sectors.
Geographically, the Fund maintained overweight positions in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Peru, Russia and Thailand throughout the reporting period. Conversely, the Fund maintained underweight positions in Taiwan, South Korea and Malaysia.
As always, we continue to focus on high quality companies with attractive valuations and strong future growth prospects.

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.

7 �� Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund |
Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of October 31, 2017, 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 available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. 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. |
∎ | | 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. |
∎ | | 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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”).
14 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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.33%, 2.08%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 1.08% and 1.08%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, 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 1.54%, 2.29%, 1.79%, 1.29%, 1.29% and 1.29%, 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 February 28, 2019. 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $253,496 and reimbursed class level expenses of $43,584, $12,252, $4,764, $15,622, $30 and $59 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $14,584 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $2,518 and $227 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $5,779,017 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $4,162,259, 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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,294.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 55,940 | | | $ | — | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 44,186 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 8,872,074 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (654 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (18,731 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (4,030,381 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 37,496,315 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 42,362,809 | |
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, 2017, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 4,030,381 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 4,030,381 | |
* | 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 Transactions
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, 2017 was $21,228,108 and $17,414,416, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 9,711,413 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (839,339 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 8,872,074 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $33,385,714.
19 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign capital gain taxes, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $35,208 and undistributed net realized gain was increased by $35,208. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

21 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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 Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 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 fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the third quintile for the three year period and the fifth 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. 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
24 Invesco Emerging Markets Equity 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 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.
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, 2016. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was above the rate of one mutual fund and the same as 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 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 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the |
European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
Despite highly destructive hurricanes that threatened to derail a years-long recovery, the US economy continued to expand throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. Gross domestic product (GDP) – the value of all goods and services produced in the US – grew by 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016, by 1.2% in the first quarter and by 3.1% in the second quarter of 2017.1 Inflation remained subdued even as the labor market continued to strengthen. Unemployment continued its multiyear decline, hitting just 4.2% in September – a 16-year low.2
Given signs of an improving economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates three times during the reporting period, most recently in June 2017.3 The Fed pledged that “realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation” will guide its future actions. At the close of the
reporting period, Fed policy remained accommodative, and the fed funds target rate stood at a range of 1.00% to 1.25% – up 75 basis points for the reporting period.3 (A basis point is 0.01%.)
Despite the Fed’s actions, major US stock market indexes repeatedly hit all-time highs throughout the reporting period. The stock market rally began immediately following the outcome of the US presidential election in November 2016, based on investors’ hopes for reduced regulation, lowered corporate and personal tax rates and increased infrastructure spending. The stock market rally continued throughout the reporting period, fueled by generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and improved consumer confidence – even as the prospect for health care and tax reform faded somewhat.
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 an estimate of its future free cash flows.
Our investment approach focuses on individual businesses rather than market sectors. Therefore, the Fund shares 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, select holdings in the financials and industrials sectors were among the largest absolute contributors to the Fund’s performance. Conversely, select holdings in the energy sector were among the largest absolute detractors from the Fund’s performance.
Relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, security selection in and overweight exposure to the financials and industrials sectors contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. Additionally, security selection in and underweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, as well as not owning any consumer staples stocks, helped the Fund’s relative performance. Conversely, the Fund’s cash holdings detracted from its relative performance. Additionally, security selection in and underweight exposure to the information technology sector, as well as security selection in the energy sector, hurt the Fund’s relative performance.

contributor to the Fund’s performance, given solid earnings and improved outlook for the market environment.
Also among the Fund’s top contributors was Ryanair Holdings, a European airline. The company benefited from continued execution of its low-cost strategy and improving conditions in the European passenger airline market.
Given volatility in commodity prices and negative sentiment about the asset class, the energy sector was the largest absolute detractor from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Sector holdings Cenovus Energy and Newalta detracted from the Fund’s performance.
In addition, Plantronics, a designer and manufacturer of communication headsets, was among the top detractors after reporting poor revenue and earnings during the reporting period.
During the fiscal year, we made new investments in Spirit Airlines, an ultra-low-cost US airline operator, and Autozone, a leading retailer and distributor of auto replacement parts and accessories. We sold CDW, a global multi-brand technology solutions provider, primarily based on valuation.
The Fund’s cash position was 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 investment opportunities as they present themselves.
In a market often driven by short-term factors, we continued to focus on finding quality businesses we believed were trading at attractive values relative to their long-term prospects. 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 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 1.36%, 2.11%, 2.11%, 1.61%, 1.11%, 0.96% and 0.87%, 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 1.38%, 2.13%, 2.13%, 1.63%, 1.13%, 0.98% and 0.89%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based
on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class 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, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. |
12 Invesco Endeavor 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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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.
13 Invesco Endeavor 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
14 Invesco Endeavor 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.
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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.74%.
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, 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 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, 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. 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $50,717.
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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $30,929 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $875 and $2,357 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
15 Invesco Endeavor Fund
For the year ended October 31, 2017, the Fund incurred $104 in brokerage commissions with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and IDI, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

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, 2017, 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.
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 (excluding affiliated money market funds) for the year ended October 31, 2017.

(a) | As of October 31, 2017, this security is no longer considered as an affiliate of the Fund. |
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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $4,847.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,901,936 | | | $ | 8,302,567 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 25,004,564 | | | | 36,076,586 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 27,906,500 | | | $ | 44,379,153 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,137,222 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 5,558,435 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 45,145,349 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — foreign currencies | | | 1,506 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (73,252 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 188,757,672 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 240,526,932 | |
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 income 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, 2017.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $39,682,936 and $128,528,160, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 63,206,811 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (18,061,462 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 45,145,349 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $195,012,366.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $389,422 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $389,422. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Endeavor Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 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 first quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, fourth quintile for the three year period and fifth 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 year period and below the performance of the Index for the 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
22 Invesco Endeavor Fund
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, 2016. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers do not manage other 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European |
Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Health Care 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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 reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.
Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s economy continued to stabilize.
Most emerging markets performed well during the reporting period. In addition to an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.
Interestingly, while 2017 marked the eighth year of the global bull market, we saw a shift in leadership as international stocks outperformed US stocks in the first three quarters of 2017. International stocks had trailed US stocks for four consecutive years and in six of the last seven years. As the reporting period came to a close, both developed and emerging equity markets appeared somewhat fully valued despite material discounts to the US market. In addition, recent earnings growth and earnings revision trends improved for many non-US developed markets.
In this environment, the MSCI World Index, the Fund’s broad market index,
gained 22.77% and health care stocks, as represented by the MSCI World Health Care Index, the Fund’s style-specific index, returned 19.18% for the reporting period.
Underweight exposure to and stock selection in the pharmaceuticals industry was the largest contributor to the Fund’s relative return as the industry lagged the MSCI World Health Care Index, the style-specific benchmark for the reporting period. However, the industry included a number of the Fund’s largest individual detractors, including Endo International, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Pricing pressures and increased competition within the generic drug market negatively affected shares of both companies during the reporting period.
The Fund’s overweight exposure to the managed health care industry also contributed to relative returns. Two of the Fund’s largest individual contributors for the reporting period were managed health care companies Aetna and UnitedHealth Group. Aetna’s shares rose sharply late in the reporting period following an announcement that CVS Health (not a Fund holding) was in talks to buy the insurer for more than $66 billion. No deal had been reached by the end of the reporting period.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the health care services and health care distributors industries, and its overweight exposure to the life science tools and services industry, aided performance. The Fund’s outperformance in the life science tools and services industry was primarily due to Thermo Fisher Scientific, a company that markets scientific instruments and lab equipment. During the reporting period, the company reported strong earnings and gave a favorable outlook for underlying business trends.
Security selection in the biotechnology industry was the primary driver of the Fund’s underperformance during the

The Fund’s top contributor for the reporting period was Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a company focused on developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Shares of the company increased sharply in March due to positive results from a late-stage clinical trial for the company’s combination drug therapy for cystic fibrosis.
Shire, a UK-based biotechnology firm, was a significant detractor from Fund performance for the reporting period. Shares of Shire suffered due to investor concerns about increased competition within the company’s hematology franchise.
The Fund’s underweight exposure to the health care equipment industry and its overweight exposure to the health care facilities industry also detracted from relative returns. The Fund’s cash position, while less than 3% on average, also detracted in a strong equity market environment.
During the reporting period, we trimmed our exposure to a number of pharmaceutical holdings, and increased our exposure to managed care, health care equipment and health care supplies. The Fund’s largest industry exposure and relative overweight exposure was in biotechnology where – in our opinion – valuations are attractive, growth is robust and pipelines are strong. Many of the Fund’s biotechnology holdings have the potential - in our opinion - to be acquired, but the market seems to underappreciate this possibility. We believe that US tax reform legislation, depending on the final provisions, could set the stage for additional mergers or acquisitions within the biotechnology industry.
Similarly, we believe any clarification of the Trump administration’s policies about drug pricing would lift a major sector overhang and enable biotechnology stocks to trade more on their intrinsic value. We believe this development may also trigger a rotation out of health care devices and areas of health care services where the Fund is underweight.

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, Investor Class and Class R6 shares was 1.09%, 1.84%, 1.84%, 0.84%, 1.09% and 0.72%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 5.50% sales charge, and Class B and Class C share performance reflects the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for the period involved. The CDSC on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to 0% at the beginning of the seventh year. The CDSC on Class C shares is 1% for the first year after purchase. Class Y shares, Investor Class shares 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 Global Health Care Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of October 31, 2017, 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 and Investor Class shares are available only to certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class R6 shares are available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. 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. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade. |
∎ | | 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, 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. |
∎ | | 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. |

8 Invesco Global Health Care Fund |
∎ | | 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. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The MSCI World IndexSM is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of developed countries. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |
∎ | | The MSCI World Health Care Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of health care stocks of developed countries. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |
∎ | | The Lipper Global Health/Biotechnology Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of global health/biotechnology 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, 2017
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 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 Y, Investor Class and Class R6. On April 4, 2017, the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. 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, Investor Class 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.
14 Invesco Global Health Care Fund
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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
15 Invesco Global Health Care Fund
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 R6 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)
16 Invesco Global Health Care Fund
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.
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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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 $350 million | | | 0 | .75% | | | | |
Next $350 million | | | 0 | .65% | | | | |
Next $1.3 billion | | | 0 | .55% | | | | |
Next $2 billion | | | 0 | .45% | | | | |
Next $2 billion | | | 0 | .40% | | | | |
Next $2 billion | | | 0 | .375% | | | | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0 | .35% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, 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 Y, Investor Class and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.75%, 1.75%, 2.00% and 1.75% 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, 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. 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $40,059.
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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, Investor Class 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 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the Plan 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $66,772 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $4,667, $389 and $5,212 from Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended October 31, 2017, the Fund incurred $10,184 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $68,729,390 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $19,929,146 due to foreign fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Trust 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, 2017, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $12,976,407, which resulted in net realized gains of $3,617,275.
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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $31,075.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,952,595 | | | $ | 15,102,427 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 30,787,783 | | | | 232,105,379 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 33,740,378 | | | $ | 247,207,806 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | $ | 91,419,812 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 404,423,583 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (44,471 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (350,025 | ) |
Late-Year ordinary loss deferral | | | (1,996,143 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 919,747,733 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,413,200,489 | |
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, 2017.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $499,295,386 and $718,466,069, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 445,896,869 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (41,473,286 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 404,423,583 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,016,861,741.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating loss and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $139,908, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $43,382 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $96,526. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and
Shareholders of 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 Invesco Global Health Care Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 periods indicated therein, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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. |

23 Invesco Global Health Care 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 Health Care Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 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 third quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, fifth quintile for the three year period and 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. 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
24 Invesco Global Health Care Fund
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, 2016. 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 that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European |
Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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 reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.
Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s economy continued to stabilize. Most emerging markets performed well
during the reporting period. In addition to an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.
Interestingly, while 2017 marked the eighth year of the global bull market, we saw a shift in leadership as international stocks outperformed US stocks in the first three quarters of 2017. International stocks had trailed US stocks for four consecutive years and in six of the last seven years. As the reporting period came to a close, we believed both developed and emerging equity markets appeared somewhat fully valued despite material discounts to the US market. In addition, recent earnings growth and earnings revision trends improved for many non-US developed markets.
In general, global infrastructure stocks – which are heavily concentrated in the energy and utilities sectors – produced positive returns but underperformed broad market equities during the
reporting period. The Fund also produced positive returns and, at NAV, outperformed its style-specific benchmark, due to a combination of security selection and market allocation.
Relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, security selection contributed to the Fund’s performance in the following infrastructure sectors: electric utilities, midstream services, telecom, airports, ports, gas distribution and diversified. Additionally, underweight allocations in the electric utilities, airports and ports infrastructure sectors, as well as overweight allocations in the telecom and diversified infrastructure sectors, added to the Fund’s relative performance. Conversely, security selection in the satellites, tolls, water and rail infrastructure sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Additionally, overweight allocation in the satellites infrastructure sector and exposure to ancillary cash were also detractors from the Fund’s relative performance.
Top individual contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance included American Tower, SBA Communications and Vinci. Both American Tower and SBA Communications are owners/operators of wireless infrastructure, and both are structured as real estate investment trusts. Both companies reported favorable earnings during the reporting period and raised their guidance for the full 2017 calendar year. We believed telecom companies were favorably positioned from a fundamental standpoint, with positive cash flow growth and strong demand due to the continued adoption of smartphones. Vinci is a global company involved in every step of infrastructure from finance and design to buildout and daily operations. During the fiscal year, Vinci completed a number of acquisitions and was awarded a number of new projects, including concession agreements at

airports in France and Japan, pipeline construction in Australia, plumbing installations in a Belgium hospital and an office skyline building in Warsaw.
Although our position in the midstream services infrastructure sector added to the Fund’s relative performance, select holdings, including Enbridge and Kinder Morgan, were the largest detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance. The companies detracted due to volatility in the energy sector. In general, we believed the lifting of the US crude oil export ban would be beneficial in the long term for continued US midstream infrastructure buildout. During the reporting period, we also found the growth characteristics for the midstream services infrastructure sector to be relatively attractive and anticipated an increase in US energy production in 2017 and 2018. This increase in volume would be beneficial for midstream services companies, which tend to be influenced more by the volume of energy, rather than by the price.
SES, a Luxembourg-domiciled provider of satellite communications and broadcasting services, was also among the top detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance. During the third quarter of 2017, SES reported a decrease in its revenue and profit margin. We continued to hold the stock as we believed in its long term value and cash flow generating capabilities. The SES Video division, which represents a significant portion of the company, renewed a multi-year contract with Sky Deutschland (not a Fund holding) in Germany during the reporting period. Additionally, SES has had a history of progressive dividend increases over each of the last 10 years.
At the close of the reporting period, the Fund held underweight allocations relative to its style-specific benchmark in the more regulated infrastructure sectors, mainly gas distribution and electric utilities. The Fund held overweight allocations in the more competitive and user-pay infrastructure sectors, such as telecom, rail, tolls and ports – where we believed the growth characteristics to be relatively attractive. The Fund remained focused on companies that we believed had above-average earnings growth characteristics, sound balance sheets and strategic infrastructure assets, providing a relatively stable underlying earnings stream.

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.

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. |
∎ | | 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, 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.
∎ | | 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.

| 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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.
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 Code.
∎ | | MLP tax risk. MLPs taxed as partnerships do not pay U.S. 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 U.S. 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 result in 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, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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”).
14 Invesco Global Infrastructure 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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
15 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund
E. | 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. |
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. | 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.

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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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% | | | | |
Over $8 billion | | | 0 | .77% | | | | |
For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.28%, 2.03%, 1.53%, 1.03%, 1.03% and 1.03%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, the Adviser had contractually agreed 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. 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $244,923 and reimbursed class level expenses of $12,325, $2,542, $364, $14,964, $10 and $157 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 services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $7,101 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $4 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period.
During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $425,071 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $3,787,279, 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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 336,155 | | | $ | 147,480 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 259,630 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 334,781 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 1,321,964 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (769 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (5,503 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (236,436 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 20,426,941 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 22,100,608 | |
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 (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.
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, 2017, which expires as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 236,436 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 236,436 | |
* | 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 Transactions
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, 2017 was $27,038,805 and $16,987,951, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 1,640,411 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (318,447 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 1,321,964 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $20,782,250.
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of partnerships and prior year real estate investment trust reclassification, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was increased by $2,373, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $2,003 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $370. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

21 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 three years in the period then ended and for the period May 2, 2014 (commencement of investment 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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 Global Infrastructure Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 had only two years of performance history and compared the Fund’s investment performance during the past one and two calendar years 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 second 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 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
24 Invesco Global Infrastructure 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 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 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.
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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually |
recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Market Neutral 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
Invesco Funds Board of Trustees

Market conditions and your Fund
The reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.
Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s economy continued to stabilize. Most international markets, including emerging markets, performed well during the reporting period. In addition to an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.
Interestingly, while 2017 marked the eighth year of the global bull market, we saw a shift in leadership as international stocks outperformed US stocks in the first three quarters of 2017, primarily due to a weaker US dollar. Previously, international stocks had trailed US stocks for four consecutive years and in six of the last seven years. As the reporting period came to a close, both developed and emerging equity markets appeared somewhat fully valued despite material discounts to the US market. In addition, recent earnings growth and earnings revision trends improved for many non-US developed markets.
The Fund follows a market neutral strategy, which is intended to produce a portfolio that experiences minimal influence from the return patterns of the general global stock market. The Fund seeks neutral positioning in terms of beta (market exposure) by seeking to maintain neutral country, sector and industry exposures. The Fund uses a systematic model that evaluates fundamental and behavioral factors to forecast individual security returns and risks and ranks these securities based on their attractiveness relative to industry peers. Implementation occurs by establishing a portfolio with long positions in highly ranked stocks and shorting those that are poorly ranked. As such, the goal is to provide absolute risk adjusted returns over a full market cycle, regardless of the direction of the equity markets.

4 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
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 Citi US Three-Month Treasury Bill Index. The largest contributors to Fund performance for the fiscal year were holdings in the health care, consumer discretionary and information technology (IT) sectors. Holdings in the industrials and telecommunication services sectors were key detractors from Fund performance during the reporting period.
In the health care sector, both the long and short positions in the health care equipment/services industry performed as expected and aided absolute Fund performance. In the consumer discretionary sector, stock selection on both the long and short side of the Fund contributed to Fund performance – primarily due to long holdings in the automobile industry. Finally, long holdings in the IT sector, specifically in the internet software/services and IT services industries, also contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period.
Holdings in the industrials sector were key detractors from Fund performance for the reporting period. These included holdings in the commercial and professional services and transportation (non-airline) industries. Within telecommunication services, both long and short holdings failed to perform as expected.
Please note that the Fund may utilize derivative instruments that include equity-related total return swaps and futures contracts. During the reporting period, the Fund utilized equity-related total return swaps to efficiently implement its strategy and gain long and/or short exposure to the various sectors/ industries described above, but did not use futures contracts. The implementation impact of using equity-related 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.

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.

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. 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. |
∎ | 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. |
∎ | 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. 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. 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, such as the United Kingdom (UK) which has announced its intention to exit, would place its currency and banking system in jeopardy. The exit by the UK or other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments. |
∎ | 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 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 Citi US Three-Month Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index representative of three-month US Treasury bills. |
∎ | The Lipper Alternative Equity Market Neutral Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of alternative equity market neutral 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. |

17 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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.
18 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
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 |
19 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
| 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. | 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.
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.
L. | 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. |
M. | 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. |
20 Invesco Global Market Neutral 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”). Effective January 1, 2017, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly 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 | .95% | | | | |
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .93% | | | | |
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .91% | | | | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .89% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .87% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .85% | | | | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .83% | | | | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .81% | | | | |
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Fund paid 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.01%.
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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25% of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”), respectively. Prior to January 1, 2017, 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 1.62%, 2.37%, 1.87%, 1.37%, 1.37% and 1.37% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $244,969 and reimbursed class level expenses of $6,545, $365, $24, $7,861, $55 and $97 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
21 Invesco Global Market Neutral 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $116 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $5 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $1,727,914 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $1,331,139, 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.
22 Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Long-term capital gain | | $ | — | | | $ | 50,264 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | $ | 1,153,027 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 3,215,807 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 793 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (6,477 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 12,653,838 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 17,016,988 | |
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 passive foreign investment companies and 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, 2017.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $6,097,949 and $13,707,144, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 3,890,967 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (675,160 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 3,215,807 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $13,685,910.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of swap agreements and net operating loss, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was increased by $7,898, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $2,900,770 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $2,908,668. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Global Market Neutral Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 three years in the period then ended and for the period December 19, 2013 (commencement of investment 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
28 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 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 noted that the Fund had only three years of performance history and compared the Fund’s investment performance during the past one and three 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 fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the third quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that 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 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
29 Invesco Global Market Neutral 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 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, 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.
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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European |
Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary

Source(s): ▼FactSet Research Systems Inc.; ∎Lipper Inc. *The Fund has elected to use the Citi US Three-Month Treasury Bill Index rather than the U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index as its broad market/style-specific index because the Citi US Three-Month Treasury Bill Index more closely reflects the performance of the types of securities in which the Fund invests. | | | | | |
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 into a single portfolio. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve either 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 in a wide range of asset types including derivative instruments and physical securities, including underlying investment companies.
The reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.
Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s economy continued to stabilize. Most emerging markets performed well during the reporting period. In addition to an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.
One of the significant contributors to Fund performance during the reporting period was the Equity – Selective Asia

The Fund’s holdings are subject to change, and there is no assurance that the Fund will continue to hold any particular security.
Data presented here are as of October 31, 2017.
1 | The values in this column represent the Adviser’s proprietary measure of risk that each asset type contributes to the Fund. 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 US 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, 2017. |
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, 2017. |
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 |
Exposure idea. We implemented the idea by reflecting two Asian equity strategies managed by our Invesco colleagues and tailored this idea by using index futures. The idea benefited from the strong performance of the underlying strategies as well as its overweight exposure to the Taiwanese equity market, which performed well on an improved outlook for global growth. In the Interest Rates – Swap Spreads idea, we sought to capitalize on long-dated UK gilts and US Treasuries, which appeared to be trading at historically cheap levels versus other similar interest rate swaps. Midway through the reporting period, this idea benefited as spreads between long-dated government bonds and interest rate swaps narrowed in both the US and the UK. Our Equity – Japan idea was a solid performer during the reporting period, particularly during the latter half. This idea was rewarded by strong gains in Japanese equity markets during the run-up to Prime Minister Abe’s landslide re-election win.
Among the most significant detractors from Fund performance for the reporting period was the Currency – Japanese Yen vs Korean Won idea, which favored the Japanese yen against the relatively more expensive Korean won. The yen depreciated early in the reporting period as Japanese authorities maintained their quantitative easing efforts despite increasing pressure on bond yields globally. Later in the reporting period, the yen and won remained relatively range bound as tensions between the US and North Korea put some pressure on the South Korean won. The Currency – US Dollar vs Euro idea, which seeks to benefit from the US dollar strengthening versus the euro due to relatively favorable long-term economic growth dynamics in the US, was a detractor in the latter half of the reporting period. Several European events proved accretive for the euro, including broadly positive European economic data, markets speculating the European Central Bank would begin unwinding its accommodative monetary policy and the election of a pro-European French president. The US dollar was also under pressure because of concerns over a slowdown in tax reform and other pro-growth policies of the Trump administration. Our Equity – US Staples vs Discretionary idea detracted from the Fund’s performance early in the reporting period. While the idea provided diversification with negative correlation to equity markets and low correlation with other ideas in the strategy, it was already under review and ultimately removed from the Fund in November 2016 following the
Trump presidential election victory and his administration’s pro-growth agenda.
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 could be identified more broadly. We lowered the number of total investment ideas in the portfolio over the reporting period and increased risk-on positioning while maintaining diversification across seven asset classes and continuing to have broad geographic representation. After adding our first commodity idea to the portfolio last year, it was supplemented with another commodity idea which seeks to take advantage of the shape of the commodity curve and potentially benefit from rising energy prices.
On March 28, 2017, the Fund transitioned the manner in which it obtains equity and fixed income market exposure from a fund-of-funds structure to a sleeved structure. Pursuant to a sleeve structure, the Fund invests directly in individual securities rather than investing in underlying funds.
We believe economic growth is being boosted by cyclical factors such as consumption and trade, but structural issues such as high debt and declining global liquidity could hinder it. We believe low inflation may persist due to a lack of pricing power and debt overhang. Policy conflicts are influencing decision making, which could drive uncertainty both for the US dollar and for core bond markets. A weakened US dollar is a boon to emerging markets, but its popularity as a borrowed currency typically indicates that it still has support. Credit markets look expensive and vulnerable to policy changes, and equity returns are dominated by income. For these reasons, diversified alpha through actively-managed equity and credit strategies is a useful source of potential value. Volatility remains stubbornly low, but macroeconomic uncertainties suggest this may be unsustainable and may rise.
As indicated throughout this report, the 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.
We thank you for your investment in Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Class(es) since Inception
Fund and index data from 12/19/13

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
During the reporting period, the Fund elected to use the Citi US Three-Month Treasury Bill Index rather than the U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index as its broad market/style-specific index because the Citi US Three-Month Treasury Bill Index more closely reflects 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. 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.

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. |

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.

7 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund |
Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund’s investment objective is to seek a positive total return over the long term in all market environments.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of October 31, 2017, 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 available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
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. As a result of a recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service, the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked notes: (a) directly, generally only to the extent that it obtains an opinion of counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue further 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. |
∎ | | 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. 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 |
|
9 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund |
| 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. |
∎ | | 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. 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. 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, such as the United Kingdom (UK) which has announced its intention to exit, would place its currency and banking system in jeopardy. The exit by the UK or other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments. |
∎ | | 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. |
∎ | | 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. |

(p) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level as of October 31, 2017 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. |
(q) | The daily variation margin receivable (payable) at period end is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

56 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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 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.
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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. |
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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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.
57 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. 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 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. |
58 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
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. | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities — The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). TIPS are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward, and any increase or decrease in the principal amount of TIPS will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. |
J. | 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.
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 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.
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 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.
M. | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to equitize the Fund’s cash holdings 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 |
59 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
| 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. |
N. | Call Options Purchased and Written — The Fund may write covered 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. 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 call options written are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Option contracts written. 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 call options purchased are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities. 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. | 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 exercise 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. |
P. | 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
60 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
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 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, 2017 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.
Q. | 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 and commodity-linked 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. |
61 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
R. | 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. |
S. | 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”). Effective January 1, 2017, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly 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% | |
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Fund paid 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.18%.
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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 (including prior fiscal year-end Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.42% and excluding certain items discussed below) 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 average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, 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 1.65%, 2.40%, 1.90%, 1.40%, 1.40% and 1.40%, 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,397,551 and reimbursed class level expenses of $21,674, $13,486, $21, $134,390, $33 and $119 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, 2017, 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 services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
62 Invesco Global Targeted Returns 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $596 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $678 and $2,256 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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.
63 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
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 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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $207.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,586,711 | | | $ | 2,702,286 | |
Return of capital | | | 102,322 | | | | — | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 4,170,753 | | | | 546,005 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 8,859,786 | | | $ | 3,248,291 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 1,013,115 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (18,060 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (6,772 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (6,333,130 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 153,697,702 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 148,352,855 | |
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 derivative investments, straddles and 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 has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2017, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,333,130 | | | $ | 6,333,130 | |
* | 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. |

(c) | 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. Because the underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary. Estimated underlying fund expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by your Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the underlying funds and are deducted from the value of the funds your Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that you bear indirectly is included in your Fund’s total return. Estimated acquired fund fees from underlying funds were 0.44%, 0.44% and 0.50% for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 and the period ended October 31, 2014. |

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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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. |

70 Invesco Global Targeted Returns 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 Targeted Returns Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 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 A shares of the Fund was in the fourth 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 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 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
71 Invesco Global Targeted Returns Fund
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, 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.
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, 2016. The Board noted how the Fund’s rate compared to the rates of off-shore funds with investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund.
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 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 Advisers 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
| | | | |

Phillip 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European |
Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Chinese equity markets rebounded on the back of rising investor confidence, resulting from a number of robust economic indicators and positive developments. China’s economy accelerated in the first quarter of 2017, with growth beating expectations as both the industrials and telecommunication services sectors improved. The Chinese government’s efforts to rebalance China’s economy from being manufacturing-led to more consumer-driven remained on track. Macroeconomic data remained strong, as official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index and industrial profits data provided indications of a robust Chinese economy. During the fiscal year, the Hong Kong equity market benefited from the positive spill-over from Chinese equities. Taiwanese
equities also moved higher, led by
growth in the information technology (IT) and industrials sectors.
From a sector perspective, the IT and consumer discretionary sectors led market gains, posting double-digit returns for the fiscal year.
For the reporting period ended October 31, 2017, Class A shares of the Fund at NAV outperformed the MSCI Golden Dragon Index, its broad market/style-specific index. Sector allocation and stock selection had a positive impact on Fund performance. The Fund’s relative outperformance was driven by stock selection in the utilities sector. In particular, natural gas companies Towngas China Company and ENN Energy Holdings were notable contributors to Fund performance. Fund holdings in the utilities sector rose on better-than-expected tariff regulation.
Underweight exposure to the financials sector supported relative results during the reporting period.
Stock selection in the industrials and consumer staples sectors also contributed to the Fund’s performance versus the broad market/style-specific index. The top contributor in the industrials sector was Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric, a manufacturer of railway power and control systems for various users in China and overseas. The stock rose on strengthening order book visibility. In the consumer staples sector, Hong Kong-based Sun Art Retail Group, an operator of supermarkets and hypermarkets, was a key contributor to relative performance during the reporting period. The company stepped up its online and new business formats to improve margins and increase sales.
In contrast, select holdings in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from the Fund’s performance versus the broad market/style-specific benchmark during the reporting period. In particular, Vipshop Holdings, an online discount retailer in China, was the leading detractor due to lower-than-expected earnings and a decline in active customers. We sold Vipshop Holdings before the close of the reporting period. Sportswear retailer Pou Sheng International Holdings was another key detractor from Fund performance within the sector.
Stock selection in and overweight exposure to the telecommunication services sector detracted from the Fund’s absolute and relative performance versus the broad market/style-specific index during the reporting period. This was mainly due to the Fund’s holding in China Mobile, the largest telecommunication services

company in China. The company’s annual performance retreated from strong gains the previous quarter.
Despite lagging stock selection in the consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors, strong stock selection in other sectors benefited Fund performance relative to the broad market/style-specific benchmark.
We continue to seek companies with sustainable industry leadership and competitive advantages using an active bottom-up investment process. This approach has led to significant exposure to consumer-related sectors, including the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors in China. In our view, the growth drivers for these sectors are diverse and not strongly correlated. We continue to favor private enterprises over state-owned enterprises, as private enterprises tend to have interests that we believe better align with investors. At the same time, we believe that per-capita health care spending in China must increase significantly to catch up with health care spending in other developed market economies.
We remain cautious towards Chinese banks due to various industry headwinds. However, during the fiscal year, we witnessed steady progress in the Chinese government’s attempts to limit previously fast-growing and less-transparent shadow banking activities.
The Chinese government has also managed to curb excess capacity in the coal and steel industries. We believe that conditions will remain broadly stable moving forward. The latest macroeconomic data continue to reflect economic resilience as these changes take place. While headline growth is expected to moderate, the Chinese economy is on track to deliver the Chinese government’s target of 6.5% growth.1 Regarding future reforms, we believe that deleveraging will remain a high priority of the Chinese government. From a bottom-up perspective, at the close of the reporting period, Chinese companies continued to see earnings upgrades across all sectors. Valuations were still attractive relative to long-term historical levels and Chinese equities were trading at a discount to those in developed markets. Finally, liquidity was robust as investor fund flows into Hong Kong via the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program remained strong during the reporting period.
Thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Greater China Fund.

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 1.93%, 2.68%, 2.68%, 1.68%, 1.45% and 1.40%, 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.

∎ | | Class Y shares are available to only certain investors. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
∎ | | Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares are available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. 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. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade. |
∎ | | 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, 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. |
∎ | | 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 o 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 credit-worthiness 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. Certain securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China, such as China A- shares, are subject to trading restrictions, quota limitations and less market liquidity. 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 inapplicable 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). |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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 Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Effective April 4, 2017, the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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
14 Invesco Greater China 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.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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 |
15 Invesco Greater China Fund
| 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.
16 Invesco Greater China Fund
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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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, 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 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 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, 2018. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,381.
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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $18,874 in
17 Invesco Greater China Fund
front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $9 and $458 from Class A 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $14,454,611 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $8,452,091, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

Common Stocks & Other Equity Interests | | $ | 61,182,326 | | | $ | 34,439,452 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 95,621,778 | |
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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $3,327.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 400,628 | | | $ | 621,370 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 456,196 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 18,694,927 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (25 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (55,221 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 76,555,511 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 95,651,388 | |
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 the treatment of passive foreign investments 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 does not have a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2017.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $44,540,951 and $41,713,820, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 22,883,194 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (4,188,267 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 18,694,927 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $76,926,851.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $34,828, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $7,935,395 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $7,900,567. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Note 12—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Greater China Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 periods indicated therein, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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 184/365 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 Greater China Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 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, the second 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 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 below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the term
24 Invesco Greater China Fund
“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, 2016. The Board also noted that the Fund’s rate was below 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 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European |
Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
Despite highly destructive hurricanes that threatened to derail a years-long recovery, the US economy continued to expand throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. Gross domestic product (GDP) – the value of all goods and services produced in the US – grew by 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016, and by 1.2% in the first quarter and 3.1% in the second quarter of 2017.1 Inflation remained subdued even as the labor market continued to strengthen.
Unemployment continued its multi-year decline, hitting just 4.2% in September – a 16-year low.2
Given signs of an improving economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates three times during the reporting period, most recently in June 2017.3 The Fed pledged that “realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation” will guide its future actions. At the close of the reporting period, Fed policy remained accommodative, and the fed funds target
rate stood at a range of 1.00% to 1.25% – up 75 basis points for the reporting period.3 (A basis point is 0.01%.)
Despite the Fed’s actions, major US stock market indexes repeatedly hit all-time highs throughout the reporting period. The stock market rally began immediately following the outcome of the US presidential election in November 2016, based on investors’ hopes for reduced regulation, lowered corporate and personal tax rates and increased infrastructures pending. The stock market rally continued throughout the reporting period, fueled by generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and improved consumer confidence – even as the prospect for health care and tax reform faded somewhat.
As part of our investment process, we evaluate fundamental and behavioral factors to forecast individual securities’ returns and risks and rank 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 based upon predicted levels of risk in the equity markets. Additionally, the Fund’s net long market position may result in net

4 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
long/net short exposure in sectors where there is an imbalance between highly-ranked and poorly-ranked stocks. In a long/short construct, a positive spread between the top-and bottom-ranked stocks (long and short candidates for the portfolio), plus a return from market/sector exposure, is intended to result in the Fund achieving attractive risk-adjusted performance relative to its broad market benchmark over a full market cycle.
During the fiscal year, Fund performance relative to the broad market benchmark benefited most from a positive long/short spread in eight of 11 sectors with both long and short holdings adding value. Relative Fund performance was led by stock selection in the information technology (IT), financials and industrials sectors. Stock selection in the energy and materials sectors detracted from the Fund’s absolute and relative performance for the reporting period.
The top-contributing sector to Fund performance was the financials sector. Within this sector, the Fund benefited from a meaningful net long allocation and positive results from long holdings in the banking and diversified financials industries. The Fund also benefited from a net long allocation in the IT sector and stock selection in the semiconductor industry. Long holdings within the industrials sector, specifically the capital goods industry, also contributed to Fund performance for the reporting period.
Holdings within the energy sector, particularly the long positions in the oil and gas exploration and production industry, performed poorly during the reporting period. Within the materials sector, both long and short holdings underperformed our expectations and detracted from Fund returns.
At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s largest net long sector allocations were in the health care, financials and IT sectors. The Fund did not have any sectors with net short positions.
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.

∎ | | 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. |

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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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.
18 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
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. | 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. |
19 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
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.
J. | 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. |
K. | 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”). Effective January 1, 2017, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly 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 | | | 0.80% | |
Next $250 million | | | 0.77% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.75% | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.72% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.70% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.67% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.65% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.62% | |
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Fund paid 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, 2017, 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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.59%, 2.34%, 1.84%, 1.34%, 1.34% and 1.34%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, 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 1.87%, 2.62%, 2.12%,
20 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
1.62%, 1.62% and 1.62%, 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 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $20,252 and reimbursed class level expenses of $2,556, $494, $20, $2,019, $1 and $98 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $2,343 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $412 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $240.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,132,066 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 451,747 | | | | 168,568 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 451,747 | | | $ | 1,300,634 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 6,913,626 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 3,627,444 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 9,310,053 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (6,549 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 53,980,448 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 73,825,022 | |
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 swap agreements and 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, 2017.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $62,935,954 and $70,940,542, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 10,821,412 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (1,511,359 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 9,310,053 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $63,822,438.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of swap agreements, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was increased by $6,051,138, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $6,037,991 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $13,147. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

25 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 three years in the period then ended and for the period December 19, 2013 (commencement of investment 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

26 Invesco Long/Short Equity Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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.

27 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 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 the Fund had only three years of performance history and compared the Fund’s investment performance during the past one and three 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 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 and three 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
28 Invesco Long/Short Equity 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 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.
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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central |
banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Low Volatility Emerging Markets 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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

Market conditions and your Fund
The reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.
Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s
economy continued to stabilize. Most international markets, including emerging markets, performed well during the reporting period. In addition to an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.
Interestingly, while 2017 marked the eighth year of the global bull market, we saw a shift in leadership as international stocks outperformed US stocks in the first three quarters of 2017 due primarily to a weaker dollar. Emerging markets stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, were also aided by a weaker dollar and outperformed broad US markets. Prior to 2017, international stocks had trailed US stocks for four consecutive years and in six of the last seven years. As the reporting period came to a close,
we held the view that both non-US developed and emerging equity markets appeared somewhat fully valued despite material discounts to the US market. In addition, recent earnings growth and earnings revision trends improved for many non-US developed markets.
The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital while achieving a lower volatility level than its style-specific benchmark over a full market cycle. The Fund seeks 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, the Fund had a lower volatility level than its style-specific benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
For the reporting period, stock selection in both the consumer discretionary and materials sectors, along with the Fund’s overweight exposure in these sectors, contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark. This contribution was offset by adverse stock selection in the financials and consumer staples sectors. The largest detractor from relative returns during the reporting period was significant underweight exposure to the information technology (IT) sector. In addition, a large overweight exposure to the utilities sector held back the Fund’s relative returns.
From a geographic perspective, underweight allocation in China and overweight exposure to Mexico hindered Fund performance relative to the style-specific benchmark. An overweight allocation in Brazil and Thailand added to Fund performance, as did stock selection in India.

4 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund |
Stock selection in South Africa and South Korea detracted from Fund performance during the reporting period.
The top individual contributor to Fund performance for the fiscal year was Magazine Luiza, a Brazilian retailer. The company’s stock price almost quadrupled during the fiscal year on the heels of growing revenue, declining borrowing costs and a nascent economic recovery in Brazil. Despite underperforming in South Korea as a whole, two large IT conglomerates, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, delivered strong absolute performance. Even with issues in Samsung’s smart phone division, the company’s stock rose based on a large cash reserve, as well as favorably viewed organizational changes.
A key detractor from Fund performance during the reporting period was Alrosa PJSC, a Russian company engaged in the exploration, mining and sales of diamonds. Yuzhou Properties, a Chinese investment holding company that engages in property development and home construction within mainland China, also detracted from Fund performance.
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 under- weight 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 positive return. 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.
1 | The Model’s investment concepts – Earnings Expectations, Market Sentiment, Management and Quality, and Value are the foundation of the Fund’s stock selection process. Factors considered in the Earnings Expectations concept include, but are not limited to, earnings momentum and earnings revisions. Similarly, Market Sentiment evaluates measures of stock price momentum, while the Management and Quality concept assesses capital efficiency. Lastly, the Value concept evaluates cash flow, dividend and earnings yield. |

7 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund |
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, 2017, 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 available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. 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, 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. |
∎ | | 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. |

This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing. |

8 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund |
∎ | | 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 Index 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, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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
15 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
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
16 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund
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 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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.33%, 2.08%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 1.08% and 1.08%, respectively, of the Fund's average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, 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 1.72%, 2.47%, 1.97%, 1.47%, 1.47% and 1.47%, 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 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $236,375 and reimbursed class level expenses of $11,992, $370, $45, $4,813, $1, and $164 of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively.
17 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $2,884 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $31 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $4,513,773 and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $6,559,066, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $329.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,207,520 | | | $ | 32,442 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 3,493,027 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 3,176,841 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 6,652,998 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (10,776 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (6,461 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 32,881,780 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 46,187,409 | |
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, passive foreign investment companies and futures contracts.
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, 2017.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $23,974,881 and $29,192,766, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 7,790,804 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (1,137,806 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 6,652,998 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $38,111,238.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies and foreign capital gain, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $39,983 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $39,983. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 three years in the period then ended and for the period December 17, 2013 (commencement of investment 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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.

24 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets 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 Low Volatility Emerging Markets Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 noted that the Fund had only three years of performance history and compared the Fund’s investment performance during the past one and three 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 second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and 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 period and below the performance of 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
25 Invesco Low Volatility Emerging Markets 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 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.
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, 2016. The Board noted that the Fund’s rate was above the rate of one such mutual fund and the same as the rate of one such mutual fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually |
recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Macro Allocation Strategy 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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, 2017, each of the strategic asset classes in which the Fund invests (directly or indirectly through derivatives), with the exception of fixed income, provided positive contributions to Fund performance. Within the tactical allocation process, equities contributed to Fund performance while bonds and commodities detracted. For the reporting period, the Fund at NAV reported positive absolute performance.
The Fund invests in derivatives, such as swaps and futures, which are expected to correspond to the performance of US and international equity, fixed income and commodity markets. The strategic allocation portion of the investment process, which is designed to drive approximately 20% of the Fund’s results over time, involves first selecting representative assets for each asset class (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, which are
designed to drive the majority of the Fund’s results over time, are made on a monthly basis to try and take advantage of short-term market dynamics.
The results from the smaller strategic allocation were positive for the reporting period as the risk-balanced exposure to equities and commodities proved beneficial and outperformed the Fund’s strategic exposure to bonds, the prices of which fell throughout the fiscal year.
Results from the Fund’s tactical allocation process were beneficial in the aggregate for the reporting period, but exhibited mixed results across the different asset classes.
The Fund’s tactical exposure to developed equity markets, achieved through futures and swaps, was the largest contributor to Fund results for the reporting period. Our long bias to the six developed equity markets (Europe, Asia ex-Japan, Japan, the UK, and US small- and large-caps) that are used in the strategy benefited Fund performance. From a regional perspective, the Fund’s overweight exposure to Asian equities led results in the asset class. Hong Kong equities posted strong gains and traded in sympathy with
emerging markets, while Japanese equities powered higher throughout the reporting period based on increased exports. Overweight exposure to US large- and small-cap equities also boosted Fund performance as stocks surged after the US presidential election on the belief that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question after the first quarter of 2017, when it appeared that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated. Despite the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy from the European Central Bank and uncertainty surrounding Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union), European and UK equities performed strongly during the reporting period due to improved economic data and positive confidence surveys, rewarding our overweight exposure to these markets.
Tactical exposure to bonds detracted from Fund performance for the reporting period, and results were mixed across the different bond markets in which the strategy invests. Our short bias to Australian and US government bonds, particularly early in the reporting period, proved beneficial as yields jumped in the latter months of 2016; this produced a positive contribution from these two markets. Positioning across German, UK and Canadian government bonds suffered in February and June. In February, the strategy was short these markets when prices rallied meaningfully as fears of a renewed Greek financial crisis and fears of nationalist candidates gaining ground in European polls prompted investors to seek so-called “safe havens.”1 In June, major central banks indicated the need to increase interest rates and remove excessive monetary accommodation. These actions drove yields higher and hurt Fund performance, due to our overweight stance. These market events resulted in losses that outweighed our gains in the US and Australia.

The Fund’s tactical exposure to commodities also detracted from Fund performance for the reporting period. Commodity markets have been mired in an extended bear market, with many individual commodities struggling with oversupply and weak demand. While results for the asset class overall were negative, not all of the commodity sectors produced negative results. The largest detractor from Fund results within the asset class was our positioning in agricultural commodities. Many of these commodities, including grains and meats, were in a state of oversupply, which depressed prices, but not in a persistent fashion. Price trends across many of these commodities were very choppy, making tactical positioning difficult. Our general bias to be underweight or short these assets resulted in losses across most agricultural commodity exposures for the reporting period.
Our exposure to energy commodities also weighed on Fund results. The energy commodity sector started the fiscal year plagued by high inventories and rising US production and rig counts. These conditions lasted throughout much of the first half of 2017. Oil and distillate prices then rebounded in the third quarter of 2017 as the US rig count declined and expectations rose for an extension of OPEC’s production cuts. Severe weather also affected energy prices in the third quarter of 2017 as hurricanes forced refinery shutdowns that further boosted prices. Natural gas prices rose at the beginning of the fiscal year, but those gains were not enough to outweigh the losses from rising US output at the end of the fiscal year. These countervailing forces produced choppy price action across energy commodities during the reporting period, again making positioning difficult. Our general long bias to these assets produced mixed results, with gains in heating oil and gas oil, but losses in Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude, natural gas and gasoline.
Our exposure to precious metals also detracted from Fund results as we maintained a long bias over the reporting period, but prices of gold and silver declined. The metals were pressured as the US Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates three times during the reporting period – in December 2016, and in March and June 2017 – and by expectations for another increase in December 2017. The Fund’s positioning in industrial metals produced positive results, which helped to offset tactical losses incurred in other commodity
sectors. Increased industrial metals prices during the reporting period were supported by strong manufacturing and import growth data out of China and by indications that China intended to cut production to curb pollution. The Fund’s general overweight exposure to copper and aluminum benefited from these trends.
Please note that our strategy is principally implemented with derivative instruments that include futures 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.
We thank you for your investment in 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 1.45%, 2.20%, 1.70%, 1.20%, 1.20% and 1.20%, 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 1.87%, 2.62%, 2.12%, 1.62%, 1.51% and 1.51%, 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.

Please see the 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. As a result of a recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service, the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked notes: (a) directly, generally only to the extent that it obtains an opinion of counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a) (36) of the 1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue further 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. 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 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 |
|
9 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund |
| 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. |
∎ | | 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 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, 2017
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Macro Allocation 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 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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
16 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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 investment 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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. 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 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.
17 �� Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
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 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 |
18 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
| 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 equitize the Fund’s cash holdings 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. |
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, 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 Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
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 and commodity-linked 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”). Effective January 1, 2017, under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly 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 | | | 1.10% | |
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% | |
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Fund paid 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.18%.
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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.44%, 2.19%, 1.69%, 1.19%, 1.19% and 1.19%, respectively, of average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, 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 1.65%, 2.40%, 1.90%, 1.40%, 1.40% and 1.40%, 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 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $332,592 and reimbursed class level expenses of $6,053, $8,354, $56, $35,919, $4 and $131 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
20 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $893 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $174 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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 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 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 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 6,335,824 | | | $ | 3,953,758 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 791,026 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 1,082,571 | |
Net unrealized appreciation —investments | | | 465,608 | |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (15,172 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (835,885 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 41,620,027 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 43,108,175 | |
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 futures contracts and swap agreements.
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, 2017, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 835,885 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 835,885 | |
* | 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. |

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 605,931 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (140,323 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 465,608 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $43,797,634.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of futures contracts, swap agreement income and subsidiary suspended passive losses, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $288,614, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $906,525 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $1,195,139. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(e) | 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. Because the underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary. 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 funds the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that the Fund bears indirectly is included in the Fund’s total return. Estimated acquired fund fees from underlying funds were 0.11%. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund and its subsidiary (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 periods indicated therein, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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 184/365 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 Allocation Strategy Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment 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 first quintile of its performance universe for the one and three 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 Y shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and three 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
28 Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy 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 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, 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.
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 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearding costs to purchase research that shifts 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 by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain |
extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
Despite highly destructive hurricanes that threatened to derail a years-long recovery, the US economy continued to expand throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. Gross domestic product (GDP) – the value of all goods and services produced in the US – grew by 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016, by 1.2% in the first quarter and by 3.1% in the second quarter of 2017.1 Inflation remained subdued even as the labor market continued to strengthen. Unemployment continued its multiyear decline, hitting just 4.2% in September – a 16-year low.2
Given signs of an improving economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates three times during the
reporting period, most recently in June 2017.3 The Fed pledged that “realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation” will guide its future actions. At the close of the reporting period, Fed policy remained accommodative, and the fed funds target rate stood at a range of 1.00% to 1.25% – up 75 basis points for the reporting period.3 (A basis point is 0.01%.)
Despite the Fed’s actions, major US stock market indexes repeatedly hit all-time highs throughout the reporting period. The stock market rally began immediately following the outcome of the US presidential election in November 2016, based on investors’ hopes for reduced regulation, lowered corporate

Data presented here are as of October 31, 2017.
and personal tax rates and increased infrastructure spending. The stock market rally continued throughout the reporting period, fueled by generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and improved consumer confidence – even as the prospect for health care and tax reform faded somewhat.
Given investor sentiment toward volatile commodity prices and uncertainty surrounding energy companies, master limited partnership (MLP) equities experienced losses during the reporting period, underperforming broad market equities. Additionally, Hurricane Harvey disrupted operations for companies with exposure to Gulf Coast infrastructure, though very little damage was seen at the asset level.
A combination of effective OPEC production cuts and evidence of demand growth supported crude oil prices – from $48.14 per barrel at the beginning of the reporting period to $61.37 per barrel at the end. Natural gas prices, which aver aged $3.07 per million cubic feet, were essentially flat during the fiscal year.4
In this environment, the Fund had a negative return and underperformed its style-specific benchmark during the reporting period. On an absolute basis, Fund holdings in the marine MLP sector contributed to the Fund’s performance. Pipelines and midstream diversified, as well as gathering and processing MLP sectors, were the largest detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance.
The Fund underperformed its style-specific benchmark primarily due to security selection and overweight position in the pipelines and midstream diversified MLP sector. Security selection in the gathering and processing MLP sector, out-of-benchmark exposure to the general partner MLP sector, as well as a combination of security selection and overweight allocation in the natural gas pipelines and storage MLP sector also hurt the Fund’s relative performance.
Positive contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific benchmark included: security selection in and underweight exposure to the refined products pipelines and terminals MLP sector, security selection in and overweight exposure to the marine MLP sector, underweight exposure to the non-traditional MLP sector, and a lack of exposure to the propane MLP sector. Ancillary cash held by the Fund was also beneficial during the reporting period, given the overall decline in MLP equities.
Individual contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance included Enterprise Products Partners and ONEOK, Inc. (formerly, ONEOK Partners, L.P.). Enterprise Products Partners is one of the largest publicly traded MLPs with over 50,000 miles of pipelines carrying natural gas, natural gas liquid (NGL), crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals. It also owns salt dome storage capacity, natural gas processing plants, NGL fractionators and NGL import/export terminals in the Houston Ship Channel. During the fiscal year, Enterprise announced plans to develop an ethylene marine export terminal that would be connected to its existing Houston Ship Channel storage and systems, as well as plans to expand capacity at an existing natural gas processing facility in West Texas. Additionally, Enterprise increased its quarterly distribution during the fiscal year. ONEOK Partners was an owner of a premier NGL system that connects supply in the midcontinent, Permian and Rocky Mountains with key market centers. During the fiscal year, ONEOK Partners announced a definitive merger agreement in which ONEOK, Inc. would acquire all of its outstanding common stock at a significant increase to its previous day’s closing price. The acquisition completed at the end of the second quarter 2017, thus the Fund held a position in ONEOK, Inc. as of the end of the reporting period.
Individual detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance included Energy Transfer Partners and Plains All American Pipeline. Energy Transfer Partners suffered setbacks and a halt in the development of its Rover natural gas pipeline in Ohio, which was set to deliver gas from the Marcellus shale to the Midwest in the second half of 2017. Plains All American Pipeline detracted following lower-than-expected second quarter 2017 earnings. Additionally, Plains reduced earnings guidance for the full year 2017 and 2018 and noted a potential distribution cut. During the reporting period, we viewed Plains as owning key pipeline infrastructure in the Permian basin and we added to the Fund’s position on share price weakness.
During the reporting period, the Fund held overweight positions relative to its style-specific benchmark in the following MLP sectors: pipelines and midstream diversified, gathering and processing, natural gas pipelines and storage, and marine. The Fund held underweight positions in the following MLP sectors: non-traditional, coal, and refined products pipelines and terminals. Out-of-benchmark exposures included the following MLP sectors: general partner and oilfield
services. The Fund lacked exposure to the propane MLP sector in which the style-specific benchmark had minor exposure.
In general, we believed OPEC’s agreement to limit crude oil production to be beneficial for US production growth throughout 2017 and into 2018. Further, we believed the presidential administration’s focus on reducing overall regulation could benefit certain midstream energy companies in the process of receiving approvals for new projects. Additionally, we viewed the lifting of the US crude oil export ban as being instrumental for continued US midstream infrastructure buildout, which would also be beneficial for midstream services companies that tend to be influenced more by the volume, rather than by the price of energy.
We believed that the Permian and Marcellus basins remained the strongest basins with drilling economics that were relatively attractive and production volumes 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 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.
As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco MLP Fund.

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.

Please see the prospectus for more information. |
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 Sub-chapter “C” corporation. As a “C” corporation, the Fund is subject to U.S. 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 U.S. 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Although the characteristics of MLPs closely resemble a |
|
This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing. |
|
|
NOT FDIC INSURED | MAY LOSE VALUE | NO BANK GUARANTEE |
| 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 result in 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, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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 MLP 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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The estimated characterization of the distribution paid will be either ordinary income or a return of capital. The actual tax character of a distribution made by the Fund will not be determined until after the Fund’s fiscal year end. It is anticipated that a significant portion of a distribution will be return of capital. |
14 Invesco MLP Fund
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. |
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. For the year ended October 31, 2017, the Fund estimated that 100% of the MLP distributions received would be treated as return of capital. |
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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 1.28%, 2.03%, 1.53%, 1.03%, 1.03% and 1.03%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, The Adviser had contractually agreed 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. 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, 2019. 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund level expenses of $373,701 and reimbursed class level expenses of $8,182, $2,183, $519, $8,760, $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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,826 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $84 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. |
As of October 31, 2017, 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.
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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $330.
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.
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
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 | | $ | (239,191 | ) | | | 34.00 | % |
State and other taxes, net of federal tax benefit | | | (15,288 | ) | | | 2.17 | |
Permanent differences, current period | | | (3,356 | ) | | | 0.48 | |
Valuation allowance | | | 256,663 | | | | (36.48 | ) |
Return to provision | | | 1,172 | | | | (0.17 | ) |
Total | | $ | 0 | | | | 0.00 | % |

Components of the Fund’s Net Deferred Tax Asset at Period-End:
| | | | |
Deferred Tax Assets: | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforward | | $ | 149,267 | |
Capital loss carryforward | | | 580,544 | |
Unrealized gains on investment securities | | | 126,629 | |
Total Deferred Tax Assets | | | 856,440 | |

The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2017, of $1,621,958. 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, 2017, of $417,212, which expires in 2034. As of October 31, 2017, the Fund has state net operating losses of approximately $412,030. If not utilized, these net operating losses will expire in various years through October 31, 2037.
At October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 based on historical evidence it is unlikely the DTA will be realized.
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2017 and 2016:

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $ | (352,457 | ) |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $10,323,741.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of dividends received, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $9,869 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $9,869. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco MLP Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 three years in the period then ended and for the period August 29, 2014 (commencement of investment 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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 184/365 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 MLP Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 had only two years of performance history and compared the Fund’s investment performance during the past one and two calendar years 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 fourth 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 management fee rate for Class A shares of the
28 Invesco MLP Fund
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, 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.
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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to |
maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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.

Market conditions and your Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, at NAV, provided positive returns, led by gains in US large-cap preferred equities, US high yield securities, US mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs), emerging market government bonds and master limited partnerships (MLPs). Conversely, equity REITs and US 30-year STRIPS were the only strategic asset classes that detracted from Fund performance. Tactical allocation shifts helped Fund performance, with the strategy maintaining a consistent overweight allocation to equity risk, which proved timely. The tactical step of the investment process allows the Fund to adapt to short-term market dynamics by shifting its sensitivity to equity or fixed income markets, which are used as proxies for risk metrics incurred within the strategic allocation.
Preferred securities were the top contributor to Fund performance for the reporting period. Over the fiscal year, the asset class experienced a positive change in overall sentiment after a dismal 2016. The tide turned on multiple fronts. Bank and insurance fundamentals were strong and improving, and capital levels appeared likely to remain healthy and supportive for preferred investors. While markets were potentially underestimating the speed of future US Federal Reserve (the Fed) interest rate hikes, recent rate hikes by the Fed point to a cautious approach.
The US high yield market also contributed to Fund performance for the fiscal year. This was consistent with a market environment in which investors favored riskier investments. Moreover, tightening credit spreads across the rating spectrum enhanced the Fund’s coupon income. Additionally, energy prices, which rallied
substantially over the reporting period, exerted positive influence on the performance of high yield securities, leading to firmer prices and tightening credit spreads in the high yield energy sub-sector.
Mortgage REITs (i.e., bundles of mortgages that pass homeowners’ payments on to investors) also contributed to Fund performance for the reporting period. Despite the Fed moving toward a tightening stance in monetary policy, many conditions improved for the asset class during the reporting period. Chief among them were steadily falling mortgage default rates, rising housing prices, a stronger economy and a declining unemployment rate. All these factors enhanced the ability of homeowners to service their debt, which in turn aided mortgage REIT dividend payments and security prices.
Exposure to emerging market debt also contributed to Fund performance. The asset class’ performance often exhibits an inherent inverse correlation with the valuation of the US dollar. This feature stems from the fact that dollar-denominated debt becomes more expensive to service with a weaker local currency. This phenomenon was experienced at the beginning of the reporting period, given expectations of higher growth and inflation in the US. Weakening of the dollar due to softening economic data points, concerns about the implementation of increased infrastructure spending, the possibility of a major tax overhaul and efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act by the new administration all proved supportive of emerging market debt. During the reporting period, market participants acknowledged the widespread and synchronized growth in emerging economies, with aggregate manufacturing data exhibiting signs of expansion. While a global normalization of monetary policy

could temporarily hamper performance in emerging market assets, a more gradual approach to this normalization process should be supportive.
MLPs, another contributor to Fund performance, tend to perform in unison with energy commodities. With the outcome of last year’s presidential election outcome elevating expectations of increased infrastructure spending, prices of West Texas Intermediate crude oil recovered from its early 2016 lows, which in turn pushed valuations of MLPs higher. While crude prices remained fairly range bound for the remainder of the reporting period, rig counts and production trends continued to improve the supply/demand balance, further supporting MLPs.
The top detractor from Fund performance was our exposure to 30-year US STRIPS. By the nature of its design, this type of security tends to exhibit significant sensitivity to changes in interest rates. This is the role this asset plays in the portfolio: providing some protection in the event of market contraction leading to lower interest rates. With the Fed gradually raising rates, US STRIPS struggled for most of the reporting period.
The Fund’s tactical allocation was a net contributor to overall results. While overweight exposure to equity markets proved beneficial to Fund performance, the Fund’s sovereign debt exposure represented a challenge. Canadian government bonds, in particular, struggled, following two 50-basis point rate increases during the reporting period. (A basis point is 0.01%.) German bunds and UK gilts also suffered as the European Central Bank and the Bank of England indicated potentially more conservative monetary policies, including curbing or even abandoning their quantitative easing programs.
We expect positive global economic growth to continue going forward, with improving employment and rising personal incomes likely to spur consumer spending and business investment. We anticipate the Fed will continue to tighten monetary policy at a gradual pace and to begin reducing the size of its balance sheet. Although not representing an immediate threat to global economic growth yet, geopolitical tensions with North Korea continue. Unexpected inflationary pressures might also be on the horizon as extremely expansive monetary policies have created imbalances. Nevertheless, the high income rates and yield-spreads relative to US Treasuries and corporate bonds could help to cushion the impact of rising interest rates over time.
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.

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. As a result of a recent announcement by the Internal Revenue Service, the Fund intends to invest in commodity-linked notes: (a) directly, generally only to the extent that it obtains an opinion of |
| | counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act or (b) indirectly through the Subsidiary. Should the Internal Revenue Service issue further 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 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, live-stock 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. |
∎ | | Dividend paying security risk. Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing such companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of such companies and the capital resources available for such companies’ dividend payments may affect the fund. |
∎ | | 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. |
∎ | | Financial services sector risk. The Fund may be susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation and are disproportionately affected by unstable interest rates, each of which could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services companies may also have concentrated portfolios, which makes them especially vulnerable to unstable economic conditions. |
∎ | | 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 Fund 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 Fund 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. Certain portions of the Fund’s assets are actively managed and depend 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. |
∎ | | 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 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 |
10 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
| 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. |
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 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 result in 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 |
continued on page 12
11 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
continued from page 11
| 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 this 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 this 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. |

∎ | | 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. |

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2017, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Multi-Asset Income 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than
33 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
institutional round lots. 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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 investment 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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. 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. |
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.
34 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction of the cost of the related investment. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
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 monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | 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.
35 Invesco Multi-Asset Income 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.
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. 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.
36 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, 2017 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.
M. | 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. |
N. | 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. |
O. | 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 accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Effective January 1, 2017, 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 | | | 0.50% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.45% | |
Next $500 million | | | 0.40% | |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.39% | |
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Fund had paid 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.51%.
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. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (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 January 1, 2017, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 0.85%, 1.60%, 1.10%, 0.60%,
37 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
0.60% and 0.60%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to January 1, 2017, the Adviser had contractually agreed 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. 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $299,551 and reimbursed class level expenses of $152,248, $53,696, $1,292, $181,296, $8 and $666 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $111,254 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $4,334 and $6,559 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. |
38 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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—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, 2017, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $90,781, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(2,979).
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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,134.
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.
40 Invesco Multi-Asset Income 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 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 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 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, 2017.

43 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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.

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.

45 Invesco Multi-Asset Income 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 Multi-Asset Income Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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. and separate Sub-Advisory Contracts with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 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, 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, 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
46 Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund
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, 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.
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 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 Fud 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 Advisers 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative |
monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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 Pacific Growth 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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

Market conditions and your Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Asia Pacific markets were strong amid favorable earnings and discounted valuations compared to developed markets. The reporting period started off with Asia Pacific markets exhibiting weakness at the end of 2016, as increasing concerns about possible US protectionist policies overshadowed the region’s positive economic developments. A strong US dollar also had a negative impact, with most Asian currencies trending lower.
In the first half of 2017, Asia Pacific markets strengthened, posting double-digit gains across key markets. India’s market ended the first quarter as the best-performing Asian market, with its economy gradually recovering from the temporary disruption caused by a demonetization of its currency. Asia Pacific markets extended their gains in the second quarter as economic conditions
further improved. Corporate earnings were strong as sales rose and lower costs expanded profit margins.
In the second half of 2017, Asia Pacific markets continued their year-to-date gains. Macroeconomic data remained strong, with official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index and industrial profits data indicating robust domestic economies. Japanese stocks rallied in September as investors finally stepped into the markets with hope that strong corporate earnings, combined with a decent macro economy and Prime Minister Abe’s decision to call a snap election, would push Japanese stocks higher.
On a geographic basis, positive stock selection in Japan was the leading contributor to Fund performance versus the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index. Stock selection in China and India contributed to Fund outperformance versus the style-specific index, as well.
In contrast, negative stock selection in South Korea was the leading detractor from the Fund’s performance versus the style-specific index. Holdings in Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore detracted from relative results. An underweight position in Indonesia was also a drag on the Fund’s relative performance.
At the sector level, stock selection in and overweight exposure to the information technology (IT) sector led out performance versus the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index. Contributors included China-based internet gaming leader Tencent Holdings and Japan-based Yaskawa Electric, which both delivered solid earnings for the reporting period.
Stock selection in the industrials and financials sectors also contributed to Fund performance relative to its style-specific index during the reporting period. Airport owner and operator Beijing Capital International Airport was the largest contributor within the industrials sector. We sold our position in Beijing Capital International Airport before the close of the reporting period. Bajaj Finance, an Indian financial services company, was a leading contributor within the financials sector. The consumer finance company recovered strongly from a fourth quarter 2016 correction due to temporary disruption from demonetization.
Conversely, stock selection in the utilities sector detracted from both absolute and relative Fund performance. Guangdong Investment, a Chinese company that operates utilities through its subsidiaries, was the leading detractor from relative Fund performance within the sector. Australia-based APA Group, a company that owns and operates natural gas and electricity assets, also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the reporting period. We sold our positions in Guangdong Investment and APA Group before the close of the reporting period.

4 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund |
Underweight exposure to the relatively strong materials sector was another detractor from Fund performance versus the style-specific index.
The Fund’s cash position, which averaged around 3.5% during the reporting period, was a key detractor from relative Fund performance, given rising equity markets.
During the reporting period, the Fund’s Asia Pacific ex-Japan allocation favored consumer-related sectors, with overweight positions in the IT, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors and underweight positions in the financials and energy sectors. The Fund’s Japan position focused on attractively priced stocks across a broad range of sectors that have sound corporate governance and competent management and are transforming to create sustainable corporate value.
We continue to look for stocks that have a competitive edge to successfully expand businesses over the long term, and stocks with positive fundamentals and prospects across a broad range of sectors.

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.

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, Class R5 and Class R6 shares was 1.64%, 2.39%, 2.37%, 1.89%, 1.39%, 1.28% and 1.22%, 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.

7 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund |
Invesco Pacific Growth’s Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
∎ | | Unless otherwise stated, information presented in this report is as of October 31, 2017, 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 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 available for use by retirement plans that meet certain standards and for institutional investors. Class R6 shares are also available through intermediaries that have established an agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts. Please see the prospectus for more information. |
Principal risks of investing in the Fund
∎ | | Asia Pacific region (including Japan) risk. The level of development of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of the countries in the region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these countries, it will likely adversely impact the economic performance of other countries in the region. Certain economies in the region may be adversely affected by increased competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial services sectors, currency fluctuations or restrictions, political and social instability and increased economic volatility. The Fund’s Japanese investments may be adversely affected by protectionist trade policies, slow economic activity worldwide, dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition from Asia’s other low-cost emerging economies, political and social instability, regional and global conflicts |
| | and natural disasters, as well as by commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply. |
∎ | | 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, 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. |
∎ | | 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. |

8 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund |
∎ | | 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. |
∎ | | 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 EAFE® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of Europe, Australasia and the Far East. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |
∎ | | The MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of Asia Pacific region stock markets. The index is computed using the net return, which withholds applicable taxes for non-resident investors. |

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, 2017
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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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 Pacific Growth 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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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 Pacific Growth 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 charged to such class. 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. | 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. |
16 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund
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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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, 2018, 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, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 3.00%, 2.50%, 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, 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. 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,929.
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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
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, 2017, 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
17 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund
proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the year ended October 31, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $4,332 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $804 and $671 from Class A 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period.
During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $26,127,823 due to foreign fair value adjustments and security low volume trading and from Level 2 to Level 1 of $6,963,133 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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $841.
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.
18 Invesco Pacific Growth 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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 161,273 | | | $ | — | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 26,410,795 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (2,496 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (90,239 | ) |
Late-Year ordinary loss deferral | | | (213,099 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 78,681,729 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 104,786,690 | |
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, 2017.
NOTE 8—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $47,310,470 and $46,745,429, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 27,022,095 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (611,300 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 26,410,795 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $79,144,488.
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $85,211, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $8,200,215 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $8,285,426. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 periods indicated therein, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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 184/365 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 Pacific Growth Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 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 fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the third quintile for the three year period 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. 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
24 Invesco Pacific Growth Fund
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 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Adviser’s or the Affiliated Sub-Adviser’s 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 Advisers 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 federal
securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, among other countries, to maintain |
extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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
Despite highly destructive hurricanes that threatened to derail a years-long recovery, the US economy continued to expand throughout the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. Gross domestic product (GDP) – the value of all goods and services produced in the US – grew by 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016, by 1.2% in the first quarter and by 3.1% in the second quarter of 2017.1 Inflation remained subdued even as the labor market continued to strengthen. Unemployment continued its multiyear decline, hitting just 4.2% in September – a 16-year low.2
Given signs of an improving economy, the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised interest rates three times during the reporting period, most recently in June 2017.3 The Fed pledged that “realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment
and 2 percent inflation” will guide its future actions. At the close of the reporting period, Fed policy remained accommodative, and the fed funds target rate stood at a range of 1.00% to 1.25% – up 75 basis points for the reporting period.3 (A basis point is 0.01%.)
Despite the Fed’s actions, major US stock market indexes repeatedly hit all-time highs throughout the reporting period. The stock market rally began immediately following the outcome of the US presidential election in November 2016, based on investors’ hopes for reduced regulation, lowered corporate and personal tax rates and increased infrastructure spending. The stock market rally continued throughout the reporting period, fueled by generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and improved consumer confidence – even as the prospect for health care and tax reform faded somewhat.
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 an estimate of its future free cash flows.
Our investment approach focuses on individual businesses rather than market sectors. Therefore, the Fund shares 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 financials and information technology (IT) stocks were the largest contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance.
Relative to the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, security selection in the financials and telecommunication services sectors were beneficial to the Fund’s relative performance. Additionally, security selection in and underweight exposure to the real estate sector also helped the Fund’s relative performance. Conversely, security selection in the IT and industrials sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Additionally, cash holdings hurt the Fund’s relative performance, given strong equity performance during the fiscal year.
Encore Capital Group, a financial company that buys consumer receivables from major banks and credit unions and works to collect as much of the outstanding debt as possible, was the top contributor to the Fund’s performance, given

solid earnings and improved outlook for the market environment.
Also among the Fund’s top contributors were General Communications and Liberty Broadband. During the reporting period, General Communications announced it would be acquired by Liberty Interactive (not a Fund holding), which owns Liberty Broadband, at a price that represented a significant premium to the previous day’s trading price and our original purchase price. We sold our position in General Communications during the reporting period because the Fund would participate in the new, combined company through its existing position in Liberty Broadband.
Spirit Airlines, an ultra-low-cost US airline operator, was among the largest detractors from the Fund’s performance. The company’s stock price declined due to continued pricing pressure from increased competition. Despite the weakness during the reporting period, we believed Spirit would continue to gain market share with its unique operating model.
In addition, Alere was also among the Fund’s top detractors during the fiscal year. We sold our remaining stake in the company, given our concerns that its acquisition by Abbott Laboratories (not a Fund holding) would be cancelled, and because we believed Alere’s intrinsic value was below the share price it was trading at.
During the fiscal year, we made new investments in Siteone Landscape Supply, the largest wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the US with a growing presence in Canada, and Sabre, a leading technology provider for the global travel industry. Generally, we sell Fund holdings when they reach full valuation; if new, relatively more attractive investment opportunities exist; or if new information changes our thesis on the future of a business. We sold Mitel Networks and Cubic during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, we continued to focus on finding quality businesses we believed were trading at attractive values relative to 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 allows 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 the Fund’s portfolio.
As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco Select Companies Fund and for sharing our long-term investment perspective.

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.
∎ | | 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. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | | The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the US stock market. |

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 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. |
∎ | 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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 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. Effective April 4, 2017, the Fund began offering Class R6 shares. 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.
Effective the open of business on October 17, 2016, the Fund re-opened public sales of its shares to all investors.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
12 Invesco Select Companies 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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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 investment 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.
13 Invesco Select Companies 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 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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.74%.
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, 2018, 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, 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 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, 2018. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver 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, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $48,855.
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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $20,470 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $5 and $1,563 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
15 Invesco Select Companies Fund
For the year ended October 31, 2017, the fund incurred $2,893 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund's policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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 (excluding affiliated money market funds) for the year ended October 31, 2017.

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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund's total expenses of $5,560.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | 2016 | |
Long-term capital gain | | $ | 20,025,749 | | | $ | 162,935,278 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Undistributed long-term gain | | $ | 62,256,197 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 66,494,365 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (13,057 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (162,371 | ) |
Late-Year ordinary loss deferral | | | (528,550 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 349,501,948 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 477,548,532 | |
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, 2017.
NOTE 9—Investment Transactions
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, 2017 was $77,725,729 and $283,322,642, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 179,722,019 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (113,227,654 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 66,494,365 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $411,558,214.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating loss, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $5,069,849 and undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $5,069,849. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)
and Shareholders of 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 Invesco Select Companies Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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 the period indicated therein, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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 Select Companies Fund’s (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2016 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 second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period, the fourth quintile for the three year period and the fifth 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 year period and below the performance of the Index for the 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 below the median contractual
22 Invesco Select Companies Fund
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, 2016. 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 that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 may result in the Fund bearing costs to purchase research that may be used by Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers with other clients and may reduce Invesco Advisers’ or 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 Advisers 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 federal securities laws 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. American voters went to the polls just days after the start of the reporting period, and their decisions quickly affected markets. The US stock market rallied strongly after the election, with major market indexes rising, and setting record highs, throughout the reporting period. Generally positive economic data, strong corporate earnings and hope for tax and regulatory reform contributed to the rally. US and global bond markets, as well as emerging market equities, sold off immediately following the election – with the US bond market eventually recovering most of its losses. Overseas, economic data were mixed, prompting the European Central Bank and central banks in China and Japan, |
among other countries, to maintain extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies. Citing positive economic trends – specifically, realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation – the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates three times during the reporting period: first in December 2016, and then again in March and June 2017. Health care and tax reform proved to be more difficult than expected to enact, with little progress achieved by the end of the reporting period.
Short-term market volatility can prompt some investors to abandon their investment plans – and can cause others to settle for whatever returns the market has to offer. The investment professionals at Invesco, in contrast, invest with high conviction. This means that, no matter the asset class or the strategy, each investment team has a passion to exceed. We want to help investors achieve better outcomes, such as seeking higher returns, helping mitigate risk and generating income. 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. (a subsidiary of Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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 reporting period began with a spike in government yields following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. US Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) policy, as well as the Fed’s acknowledgement of a stronger US economy and a significantly improved employment picture, supported rising yields and a steepening yield curve. This was confirmed when the Fed hiked rates in December 2016, and indicated additional rate hikes were likely in 2017.
The new year brought global economic growth, tightening financial conditions and political uncertainty. The bond market’s initial focus was the Fed and its March meeting to decide US interest rate policy. In late February, statements from Fed officials took on a more hawkish tone. This continued into March, and by the time of the Fed’s meeting on March 15, a 25 basis point hike was fully “priced in” to financial markets. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) The statement accompanying the 25 basis point increase and official Fed forecasts, however, suggested more gradual interest rate hikes than the tone of earlier communications had led the market to expect. This shift in tone helped ease pressure on US Treasuries,
which subsequently drove other core government bond yields lower. Also early in 2017, numerous questions were raised about the Trump administration’s fiscal and tax plans, while uncertainty across Europe abated when the perceived market-friendly candidate, Emmanuel Macron, defeated far right candidate Marine le Pen in the French presidential election.
Amid this backdrop, the US inflation rate remained stubbornly low during the reporting period despite an improving employment picture and an overall brighter outlook for the economy with respect to growth. Despite tame inflation numbers, the Fed raised the federal funds target rate another 25 basis points at its June meeting, stating that the US economy was strengthening and any weakness in inflation was transitory. By August, increasing geopolitical concerns surrounding the Korean peninsula raised market uncertainty along with market volatility. Global central banks also became increasingly hawkish as European Central Bank president Mario Draghi alluded to plans to reduce the amount of economic stimulus in 2018.
In the final two months of the reporting period, global interest rates rose in reaction to stronger economic growth and higher inflation expectations, combined with increased expectations that the Fed would raise rates one more time in 2017. The 10-year US Treasury yield ended the reporting period at 2.38%, 54 basis points higher than at the beginning of the reporting period.1
The broader global bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, gained 1.18% for the fiscal year. Rising interest rates weighed on global treasuries, which produced negative returns. However, all other bond sectors (government-related,

corporate and securitized) posted positive returns for the fiscal year as strong global growth and stable inflation helped to drive returns. Global high yield and emerging market debt provided strong gains, supported by solid global economic growth and global demand for assets with adequate yield.
The Fund generated positive returns for the reporting period and, at NAV, outperformed its broad market/style-specific benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund’s out of index exposure to high yield corporate credit denominated in US dollars was one of the most notable contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. Security selection within investment grade credit denominated in US dollars also added to Fund performance relative to the broad market/style-specific index. The Fund’s use of total return swaps and credit default swaps to hedge credit risk detracted from relative returns. With respect to foreign currencies, the Fund’s exposure to the Polish zloty, Turkish lira and Russian ruble contributed to relative performance, while exposure to the Taiwanese dollar, Colombian peso and Brazilian real detracted.
During the reporting period, 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 during the reporting period. 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 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 sought to manage 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 we believe this strategy 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.
Thank you for investing in Invesco World Bond Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
During the reporting period, the Fund changed its broad market/style-specific index from the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Index to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index. The Fund also changed its peer group index from the Lipper International Income Funds Index to the Lipper Global Income Funds Index. These changes were made in connection with repositioning the Fund as a global fixed income fund.
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.

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 0.94%, 1.69%, 1.69%, 0.69%, 0.69% and 0.69%, 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 1.84%, 2.59%, 2.59%, 1.59%, 1.30% and 1.30%, 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 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. |
∎ | 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. 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, 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 |
This report must be accompanied or preceded by a currently effective Fund prospectus, which contains more complete information, including sales charges and expenses. Investors should read it carefully before investing.
NOT FDIC INSURED | MAY LOSE VALUE | NO BANK GUARANTEE
8 Invesco World Bond Fund
| 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. |
∎ | 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 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-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. |
∎ | 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. |
∎ | 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 counterparty 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. |
About indexes used in this report
∎ | The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of global investment grade, fixed-income markets. |
∎ | The Lipper Global Income Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of global income funds tracked by Lipper. |
∎ | The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of bonds of foreign countries. |
∎ | The Lipper International Income Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of international income 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. |

(a) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2017, at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing credit default swap agreement and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit default swap agreement. An implied credit spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial agreement 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco World Bond 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 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.
20 Invesco World Bond 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
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. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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 investment 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. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted over the lives of the respective securities. Pay-in-kind income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash is recorded as interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
21 Invesco World Bond Fund
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 daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | 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. | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities — The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). TIPS are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The principal value of TIPS will be adjusted upward or downward, and any increase or decrease in the principal amount of TIPS will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. |
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. |
22 Invesco World 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 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 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. |
M. | 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 call options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Option contracts written. 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 call options purchased are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities. 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. | 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 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.
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 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.
24 Invesco World Bond Fund
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, 2017 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.
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 accrues daily and pays monthly 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, 2017, 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).
Effective December 1, 2016, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 28, 2019, 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 0.94%, 1.69%, 1.69%, 0.69%, 0.69% and 0.69%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to December 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 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. 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, 2019. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2019, 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, 2017, the Adviser waived advisory fees and reimbursed fund expenses of $341,101 and reimbursed class level expenses of $68,705, $1,018, $12,541, $21,698, $1 and $11 of Class A, Class B, Class C, 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, 2017, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees.
25 Invesco World Bond Fund
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2017, 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. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. 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, 2017, 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, 2017, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $1,912 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $100, $20 and $61 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, 2017. 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.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2017, there were no material transfers between valuation levels.

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, 2017, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,448.
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, 2017 and 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2017 | | | | | | 2016 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 132,292 | | | | | | | $ | 185,147 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | | | | | 156,806 | |
Return of capital | | | 793,207 | | | | | | | | 301,074 | |
Total distributions | | $ | 925,499 | | | | | | | $ | 643,027 | |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2017 | |
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 744,243 | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — foreign currencies | | | (18,536 | ) |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (37,664 | ) |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (1,144,642 | ) |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 32,779,291 | |
Total net assets | | $ | 32,322,692 | |
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 futures contracts, straddles and 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, 2017 as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 676,863 | | | $ | 467,779 | | | $ | 1,144,642 | |
* | 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 Transactions
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, 2017 was $69,540,473 and $89,142,974, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $10,167,611 and $4,275,068, respectively. Cost of investments, including any derivatives, 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 Investments on a Tax Basis | |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 2,165,519 | |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (1,421,276 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 744,243 | |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $29,275,510.
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, distributions and swap agreement income, on October 31, 2017, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $31,748, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $824,954 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $793,206. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 13—Subsequent Event
On December 1, 2017, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the early conversion of the remaining assets in the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares to occur on or about January 26, 2018. At the close of business on or about January 26, 2018, (the “Conversion Date”) all outstanding Class B shares of the Fund will be converted to Class A shares of the Fund, which is prior to the date the Class B shares would normally be converted to Class A shares. Once the conversion is completed, Class B shares will be closed and become inactive. No contingent deferred sales charges will be payable in connection with this early conversion. The conversion of the Fund’s Class B shares into Class A shares on the Conversion Date is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, and should not result in the recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders, although each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax adviser.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of 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 Invesco World Bond Fund (one of the portfolios constituting the AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, and when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures, 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, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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, 2017 through October 31, 2017, 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 184/365 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 World Bond Fund’s (formerly, Invesco International Total Return Fund) (the Fund) investment advisory agreements. During contract renewal meetings held on June 12-13, 2017, 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, 2017.
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 most 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. This information is current as of June 13, 2017, 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 included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process oversight, 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 as contrasted with 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.
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.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board considered Fund investment 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 name of the Fund was changed and the benchmark was changed to the Lipper Global Income Funds Index effective December 1, 2016. The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance during over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2106 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 second quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the third 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 year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. Invesco Advisers noted that the Fund has broader exposure to the U.S. Dollar effective with the name change. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their conclusions.
34 Invesco World Bond 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, 2018 in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specificed 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 that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule. The Board 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 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 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 Advisers 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 or certain affiliates and covered persons 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 (referred to as a “more than ten percent owner”). 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 and certain affiliates and covered persons have relationships with lenders who hold, as record owner, more than ten percent of the shares of certain funds within the Invesco Fund Complex, which may implicate the Loan Rule.
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 connection with prior independence determinations, 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 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 Funds will need to take other action in order for the Funds’ 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. The SEC no-action relief was initially set to expire 18 months from issuance but has been extended by the SEC without an expiration date, except that the no-action letter will be withdrawn upon the effectiveness of any amendments to the Loan Rule designed to address the concerns expressed in the letter.

(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 March 29, 2017
| 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 hereby delegates, subject to the dollar limitations set forth below, specific authority to its Chair, or in his or her absence, Vice Chair, to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be provided by the Auditor to the Funds and/or a Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement, between Audit Committee meetings. Such delegation does 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, the Audit Committee must pre-approve: (a) any non-audit services to be provided to the Funds for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; (b) any Service Affiliate’s Covered Engagement for which the fees are estimated to exceed $500,000; or (c) any cost increase to any previously approved service or engagement that exceeds the greater of $250,000 or 50% of the previously approved fees up to a maximum increase of $500,000.
| 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.
