Market conditions and your Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund at NAV reported negative absolute performance as two of the macro factors in which the Fund invests (defensive and real return) detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance.
The Fund’s strategic exposure to the growth macro factor, obtained through the use of swaps, options and futures, contributed to results for the fiscal year. Despite elevated interest rates and heightened market volatility, five of the six markets in which the Fund invests delivered positive returns. Japanese equities were the top contributor to results as the Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintained its accommodative yield curve control policy despite rising inflation. Despite China’s lackluster economic recovery continuing to be a headwind, emerging equities contributed as continued economic resilience led investors to favor riskier assets. European equities added to results with gains largely concentrated in the first half of the fiscal year due to lower-than-expected energy prices. Prices declined in the second half as the European Central Bank (ECB) lifted rates to an all-time high and signs began to emerge that the region may be close to a recession. UK equities also contributed, benefiting from the index’s overweight to energy in the latter half of the fiscal year and from the Bank of England pressing pause on interest rate hikes in September 2023 after 14 consecutive months of increases. US equities detracted in aggregate, with US large-caps outperforming their small-cap counterpart. Gains in US large-caps were primarily due to strong performance in the seven largest stocks due to investor optimism around artificial intelligence (AI). US small-caps declined as concerns over a slowing global economy and the potential for interest
rates to stay higher for longer caused investors to become more risk averse. Exposure to defensive put options detracted as markets rose. Tactical shifts within equities through the fiscal year contributed to results due to timely positioning in European and Japanese equities.
The Fund’s strategic exposure to the defensive macro factor, obtained through the use of swaps and futures, was the largest detractor from the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year with all six markets posting losses largely due to a combination of persistent strong inflation readings and aggressive actions by central banks. Australian bonds were the top detractor due to continued rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of Australia amid slowing economic growth. Japanese government bonds declined as the BoJ maintained its accommodative monetary policy despite high inflation. Canadian government bond prices declined over the fiscal year as interest rates rose. UK Gilts declined as the Bank of England signaled it intends to leave rates at high levels to combat inflation. German bunds declined amid a historic run of 10 consecutive rate increases by the ECB before pausing in October as economic growth began to show sign of slowing. US Treasuries detracted from performance as the resilient economic growth led the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to continue to raise rates. Yields surged late in the fiscal year, following comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stating that he intended to keep rates higher for longer. Exposure to defensive factor premia detracted from performance as factors underperformed their base indexes. Tactical shifts in the defensive macro factor produced gains in the fiscal year as factors such as the rising inflation and rate environment led our models to be underweight bonds.
The Fund’s strategic exposure to the real return macro factor, obtained through the use of swaps, futures and commodity-linked notes detracted from the Fund’s absolute performance for the fiscal year with losses in energy and industrial metals outweighing gains in agriculture and precious metals. Our motivation for holding commodities has been to help offset weakness in equity and fixed-income performance during periods of unexpected inflation. In aggregate, that is the behavior that we received even though performance was mixed across the commodity complexes. Precious metals contributed to results, with gold outperforming silver, despite concerns about higher-for-longer interest rates. Agriculture performance was driven by gains in soybeans, soymeal, cotton and sugar. Sugar rose as supplies have been diverted by demand for ethanol in Brazil, while India has resumed export quotas. Cotton prices rose due to hot weather in key US growing regions against the lowest acreage planted in decades. Industrial metals slightly detracted from results as losses in aluminum countered gains in copper due to uncertainty over future Chinese production. Energy was the largest detractor at the sub-complex level, with unleaded gas and gasoil providing the sole contributions. Oil prices came under pressure from concerns over rising interest rates and decreasing demand. Tactical shifts over the fiscal year in the real return macro factor produced losses as commodity performance became volatile later in the fiscal year.
Please note that our strategy is principally implemented with derivative instruments that include futures, commodity-linked notes, options and total return swaps. Therefore, all or most of the performance of the strategy, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. Derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to asset classes. However, derivatives may amplify traditional investment risks through the creation of leverage and may be less liquid than traditional securities.
Thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund. As always, we welcome your comments and questions.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund I Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives and other securities that may provide leveraged and non-leveraged exposure to commodities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return with a low to moderate correlation to traditional financial market indices.
The Fund currently consists of 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board-approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the
| | |
25 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund |
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 price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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
| | |
26 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund |
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 the 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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, commodity 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 instrument or asset. 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. | Put Options Purchased – The Fund may purchase 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 securities hedged. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put 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. | 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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.
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 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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.
O. | LIBOR Transition Risk – The Fund may have investments in financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR was intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. The publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates ceased to be published after June 2023. The FCA will permit the use of synthetic USD LIBOR rates for non-U.S. contracts for a limited period of time after June 30, 2023, but any such rates would be considered non-representative of the underlying market. |
There remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law, among other limitations. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
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. | Other Risks – The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in commodity futures and swaps, commodity related exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded notes and commodity linked notes, some or all of which will be owned through the Subsidiary. 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. |
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.950% | |
|
| |
Next $250 million | | | 0.925% | |
|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.900% | |
|
| |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.875% | |
|

|
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.800% | |
|
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.775% | |
|
| |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.90%.
| | |
28 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund |
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 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 July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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 fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may exceed the boundary limits above. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $858,851.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $66,086 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $68 and $4,049 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $22,539.

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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:

|
| |
Total distributions | | | $– | | | | | | | $ | 497,106,738 | |
|
| |
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 30,586,985 | |
| |

|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,350,429,464 | |
|
| |
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 derivative instruments and Subsidiary differences.
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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
| |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |

Not subject to expiration | | $ | 108,913,959 | | | $ | 143,498,621 | | | $ | 252,412,580 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $140,123,516 and $74,573,199, 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.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, income from the Subsidiary and derivative instruments, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was increased by $6,810,366 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $6,810,366. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings (loss) 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 Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund’s (the Fund) 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 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Style Index (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 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
| | |
36 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund |
the Fund was reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one year period and below the performance of the Index for the three and five year periods. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees were in the fifth quintile of its expense group, and discussed with management reasons for such relative actual management fees. As previously noted, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management, including with respect to the Fund’s unique, differentiated strategy relative to peers. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, and subsequently with representatives of management.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the
similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (defined for this purpose as the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2022.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound
and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the
| | |
37 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund |
SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund at NAV reported positive absolute performance due to favorable positioning in agriculture, industrial metals and precious metals. Precious metals were the largest contributor to results, with gold outperforming silver, despite concerns about higher-for-longer interest rates as the yield on the 10-year Treasury increased to levels last seen in 2007, while the US dollar surged in response. Agriculture performance seesawed back and forth through the fiscal year but posted positive performance on aggregate due to gains in the soy complex (excluding soybean oil), cotton and sugar. Industrial metals provided a minor contribution to results as gains in copper countered losses in aluminum, which fell due to uncertainty over future Chinese production. Energy was the largest detractor at the sub-complex level, with unleaded gas, heating oil and gasoil providing the sole contributions. With that background in mind, the Fund invests with a strategic long bias in four commodity complexes — agriculture, energy, industrial metals and precious metals — and then makes tactical adjustments on a monthly basis to try and take advantage of short-term market dynamics. The Fund’s ability to tactically adjust its exposure to assets detracted from performance over the fiscal year as gains from an underweight position in natural gas and wheat and an overweight position in sugar were not enough to offset losses from positioning across the rest of the commodity assets. Overall, the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Commodity Index, primarily due to a strategic underweight to energy and, in particular, natural gas, as well as the Fund’s strategic positioning in agriculture, industrial metals and precious metals.
The Fund’s strategic positioning in energy was the largest detractor from absolute performance, led by natural gas and oil. Energy
prices plunged in the first half of 2023, largely due to recession concerns, a disappointing recovery of the Chinese economy and global central banks’ maintaining an aggressive stance on interest rates. However, energy commodities started to rally in July 2023 as Saudi Arabia and Russia remained committed to their supply cuts, extending them through the end of 2023, and demand from several non-traditional consuming regions and China fared better than expected. Tactical positioning in energy detracted due to ill-timed overweight positions negating the positive results from an underweight position in natural gas.
The Fund’s strategic exposure to industrial metals provided a small gain mainly due to an overweight to copper and lack of strategic exposure to nickel and zinc. After prices skyrocketed from November 2022 through January 2023 due to growing optimism for a strong Chinese reopening and expectations for a moderation in Fed rate hikes, the sub-complex retreated sharply for the remainder of the fiscal year. The downtrend did, however, slow in the last two months of the fiscal year due to emerging signs of recovery in China and ongoing US economic resilience. Tactical positioning slightly detracted mainly due to an underweight position in aluminum during the first half of the fiscal year.
The Fund’s strategic positioning in agriculture contributed to overall results as positive returns within the soy complex, cotton and sugar countered losses in grains and livestock. Front month sugar and cocoa prices both gained nearly 80% – Indian export uncertainty and adverse weather in Brazil and Thailand raised supply risks for sugar. The year-to-date return dispersion between soft commodities and grains is dramatic, with sugar hitting a 12-year high. Sugar continues to pad its lead as the top-performing commodity in our universe year-to-date, as El Niño is also making its mark in India and Thailand,
which has disrupted harvests and therefore supply. On the other side of the ledger, wheat was heavily pressured, down over 30% for the fiscal year. Slumping prices of wheat result from a second consecutive year of bumper crops in Russia that have driven prices back to 2021 levels and in the process removed all the premium that arose after the country’s invasion of Ukraine. Importantly, lower grain prices have helped slow the increase in food inflation; however, El Niño may be in the process of turning its sights on wheat, and that could negatively impact production given reports of drier weather in key growing regions including Russia, Europe and Australia. This left US grains largely uncompetitive in global markets. Tactical agriculture exposure provided gains due to a net short in lean hogs over most of the fiscal year, along with an overweight to sugar and underweight to wheat.
The Fund’s strategic exposure to precious metals was the top contributor to overall results, with gold outperforming silver. The sub-complex was supported to end 2022 on expectations that the Fed would soon dial back its aggressive rate hikes. Then both gold and silver spiked in response to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023 and US debt ceiling default fears in late April, causing investors to flock to safe havens like gold. While gold prices faced downward pressure between May 2023 and September 2023 on a more hawkish-than-expected Fed, rising geopolitical tensions from the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023 renewed demand for safe havens. Strong central bank demand for gold also maintained a soft floor for the sub-complex during the fiscal year. Tactical precious metals detracted due to underweights to gold and silver, as the sub-complex continues to trade in a choppy pattern.
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.
Thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund.

Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

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%. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the Invesco Cayman Commodity Fund III Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets primarily through investments in the Subsidiary. 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 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board-approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the
| | |
19 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund |
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 price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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
| | |
20 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund |
value of structured securities are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the structured securities mature or are sold, the Fund recognizes a realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
J. | Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to 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 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 instrument or asset. 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. For settlement of LME commodity futures contracts, cash is not transferred until the settled futures contracts expire. Net realized gains or losses on LME contracts which have been closed out but for which the contract has not yet expired are reflected as a receivable or payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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.
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 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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. | Other Risks – The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity markets primarily through an investment in the Subsidiary and through investments in commodity futures and swaps, commodity related exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded notes and commodity linked notes, some or all of which will be owned through the Subsidiary. 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. |
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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
| | |
21 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund |
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.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 1.050% | |
|
| |
Next $250 million | | | 1.025% | |
|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 1.000% | |
|
| |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0.975% | |
|
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.950% | |
|
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.925% | |
|
| |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.900% | |
|
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.875% | |
|
| |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate 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 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, 2025, 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 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 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, 2025. 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, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $429,851 and reimbursed class level expenses of $161,165, $47,307, $22,342, $827,199, $116,306 and $8,775 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $29,714 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,191 and $3,284 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $4,577.
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
| | |
24 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund |
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | | 2022 |
|
|
Ordinary income* | | $94,423,618 | | | | $213,955,525 |
|
|
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
|
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 20,398,646 | |
|
| |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | | 2,966,240 | |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation – investments | | | 14,700,936 | |
|
| |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (88,147 | ) |
|
| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 770,067,462 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 808,045,137 | |
|
| |
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 subsidiary differences.
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, 2023.
NOTE 9–Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $52,200,000 and $60,868,499, 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 | |
|

|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 14,700,936 | |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $777,510,033.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of equalization and income from the Subsidiary, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,217,160, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $24,864,097 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $26,081,257. 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 Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $1,032.20 | | $6.86 | | $1,018.45 | | $6.82 | | 1.34% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 1,026.90 | | 10.68 | | 1,014.67 | | 10.61 | | 2.09 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 1,031.50 | | 8.14 | | 1,017.19 | | 8.08 | | 1.59 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 1,032.60 | | 5.58 | | 1,019.71 | | 5.55 | | 1.09 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 1,032.50 | | 5.58 | | 1,019.71 | | 5.55 | | 1.09 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 1,033.90 | | 5.59 | | 1,019.71 | | 5.55 | | 1.09 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund’s (the Fund) 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 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Commodity Index (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 fourth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below
| | |
29 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund |
the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund’s tactical asset allocation strategy detracted from performance in periods of high volatility, and its structural underweight allocation to the energy sector also impacted relative performance. The Board acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and/or investment restrictions and those of the funds in its performance universe, including that certain funds in the peer group may have sleeves that are more passively managed. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fees and total expense ratio were in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative contractual management fees and total expenses. As previously noted, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management, including with respect to (1) differences between the Fund’s investment strategy and that of its peers in that the Fund seeks to balance risk across the commodity sub-sectors whereas a number of the Fund’s peers take an asset-weighted approach to the commodity sub-sectors; and (2) fees comprising the Fund’s total expense ratio relative to its peers. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, and subsequently with representatives of management.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from
providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and
| | |
30 | | Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund |
corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
The beginning of the fiscal year was headlined by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) continuing its rapid tightening of monetary policy in an effort to combat inflation via higher interest rates, while simultaneously engineering a soft landing so as to not push the economy into a recession. The Fed aggressively raised its federal funds rate at the beginning of the fiscal year: a 0.75% hike in November 2022, its largest hike since 1994, a 0.50% hike in December and a 0.25% hike in January, to a target federal funds rate of 4.50% to 4.75%.1
A January 2023 rally gave way to a February selloff as higher-than-expected inflation, a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicated that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future, raising the risk of a deeper than expected recession. In March, significant volatility plagued fixed income markets as the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread pushed overall corporate spread premiums wider over the fiscal year. However, issues did not seem to be systemic, as policymakers responded swiftly which calmed markets. The Fed, aiming to further stabilize markets, continued course with its hawkish policy and announced two 0.25% hikes in March and May, resulting in a target federal funds rate of 5.00% to 5.25%.1 Markets stabilized due to milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings.
Through the second quarter of 2023, global economic growth remained resilient but bifurcated as emerging markets and Asian economies showed robust growth while developed western economies had sluggish yet positive growth. US labor markets maintained
momentum with unemployment still at historic lows despite a slight uptick at the end of May. Inflation generally eased in developed economies, largely driven by moderation in the goods component of inflation. However, core inflation remained more stubborn and led developed country central banks to continue tightening, showcased by another 0.25% hike by the Fed in July, increasing the target rate from 5.25% to 5.50%, its highest level since June 2006.1 While rates remained elevated across all maturities on the yield curve, the two-year Treasury rates increased from 3.45% to 4.85% during the fiscal year, while 10-year Treasury rates increased from 3.53% to 4.48%.2 At the end of the fiscal year, the yield curve remained inverted. Additionally, in August, US debt was downgraded by the Fitch credit rating agency from AAA to AA† on the premise of expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years.3 Despite the higher-than-expected Gross Domestic Product for the third quarter, the Fed held interest rates steady at its September and October 2023 meetings, but left open the possibility of another rate hike before the end of the calendar year.1 As of the end of the fiscal year, we believe markets have priced in that the Fed is near the end or has finished its interest rate hiking cycle, with the expectation that the US is likely to avoid a substantial broad-based recession. We anticipate economic activity will remain relatively resilient. In the US, we believe rate hikes are ending and inflation will continue to fall significantly, albeit imperfectly. As we enter 2024, we expect a more positive growth outlook to unfold as the US economy recovers.
The Fund’s Class A shares, at NAV, generated positive returns for the fiscal year. Overweight exposure to investment-grade corporates and securitized debt were the most notable contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. Outperformance from the
investment-grade corporate sector was driven by sector allocation, specifically to the financial institutions sector. Security selection in the industrials sector also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year while sector allocation to government-related securities, such as authority bonds, detracted from relative performance.
Overweight exposure to and security selection in commercial mortgage-backed securities, particularly conduit and single borrower issues, contributed to the Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark during the fiscal year. The Fund’s out-of-benchmark exposure to US dollar-denominated emerging market corporate debt during the fiscal year also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.
The Fund’s allocation to cash holdings slightly contributed to relative Fund performance during the fiscal year as a result of rising Treasury rates.
The Fund benefited from incremental income earned from transactions in the highly liquid to-be-announced market for agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) during the fiscal year. Such transactions involve the Fund selling an MBS to a financial institution, with an agreement to repurchase a substantially similar security at an agreed upon price and date. Cash received by the Fund as a result of this repurchase transaction may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received from this activity, may generate income for the Fund.
The Fund may also engage in “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are transactions in which a fund buys or sells mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis.
The Fund may use active duration and yield curve positioning for risk management and for generating excess return versus its benchmark. Duration measures a portfolio’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes. Yield curve positioning refers to actively emphasizing particular points (maturities) along the yield curve with favorable risk-return expectations. Duration of the portfolio was maintained close to that of the benchmark, on average, and the timing of changes and the degree of variance from the Fund’s benchmark during the fiscal year detracted from relative returns, particularly amongst seven to 10-year maturity securities. Buying and selling US Treasury futures and interest rate swaptions were important tools used for the management of interest rate risk and to maintain our targeted portfolio duration.
Part of the Fund’s strategy to manage credit and currency risk in the portfolio during the fiscal year 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 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 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, as well as 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 or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund. Note: The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco Core Bond Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction
of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% 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.

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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund

securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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 Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
J. | Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying instrument or asset. 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 |

29 | | Invesco Core Bond Fund |
| 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. |
K. | Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, 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.
L. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions – The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate.
| | |
30 | | Invesco Core Bond Fund |
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement.
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. | Other Risks – Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires.
Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.400% | |
|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.350% | |
|
| |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.330% | |
|
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.310% | |
|
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.34%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through February 28, 2025, 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 0.70%, 1.45%, 0.95%, 0.45%, 0.45% and 0.45%, 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 February 28, 2025. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these expense limits.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $372,519 and reimbursed class level expenses of $481,547, $36,439, $61,361, $647,583, $0 and $0 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 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
| | |
31 | | Invesco Core Bond Fund |
monthly. Of the Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $58,778 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $3,434 and $2,873 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $39,320.
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 SSB, 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

|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,874,653,511 | |
|
| |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and derivative instruments.
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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |

|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $1,514,390,148 and $1,552,668,114, 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.

|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $2,471,511,897.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of amortization and accretion on debt securities, dollar rolls and paydowns, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was increased by $797,625 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $797,625. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings (loss) 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 Core Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Core Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
|
|
Financial Highlights |
|
For each of the four years in the period ended October 31, 2023 and the ten months ended October 31, 2019 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6. |
For each of the four years in the period ended October 31, 2023 and the period May 24, 2019 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2019 for Class R5. |
The financial statements of Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund (subsequently renamed Invesco Core Bond Fund) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for the year then ended (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 22, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, portfolio company investee, and brokers. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $938.00 | | $3.32 | | $1,021.78 | | $3.47 | | 0.68% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 934.50 | | 6.97 | | 1,018.00 | | 7.27 | | 1.43 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 936.70 | | 4.54 | | 1,020.52 | | 4.74 | | 0.93 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 938.70 | | 2.10 | | 1,023.04 | | 2.19 | | 0.43 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 939.10 | | 2.10 | | 1,023.04 | | 2.19 | | 0.43 |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Core Bond Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis, and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (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 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
| | |
38 | | Invesco Core Bond Fund |
below the performance of the Index for the one and five year periods and reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the three year period. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the
performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for
| | |
39 | | Invesco Core Bond Fund |
executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
Global equity markets posted gains in November 2022, after better inflation data sparked a rally. However, investor sentiment worsened in December after central banks signaled continued interest rate hikes into 2023, as inflation remained above target levels. International stocks outperformed US stocks, led by results in the UK and the rest of Europe. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by China, which eased its zero-COVID-19 policy and started to reopen.
For the first half of 2023, global equity markets continued to deliver gains amid continued interest rate increases, volatility and a banking crisis. Optimism about AI (Artificial Intelligence) boosted technology stocks around the world during the second quarter of 2023. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the first half of 2023, but within the asset class, China’s equities declined due to weaker-than-expected economic data, real estate developer debt issues and geopolitical concerns, among other factors.
The global equity rally in the first half of 2023 came to an end in the third quarter as global equity markets declined. Concerns about a slowing global economy and interest rates staying “higher for longer” hampered stock returns. During the quarter, value stocks outperformed growth stocks. Energy was the best performing sector, ending the quarter in positive territory, boosted by rising oil prices as Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cut supplies. Developed market equities underperformed emerging market equities. Within emerging markets, there was a large dispersion in returns, largely driven by idiosyncratic country factors.
Global equity markets continued their decline in October 2023. Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, both developed
market equities and emerging market equities ended the fiscal year in positive territory. In our view, the strong performance of emerging market equities during a fiscal year of such adversity points to the increased resilience of emerging market economies and the attractive valuation of emerging market stocks.
From a sector perspective, the largest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year were stock selection in energy, consumer discretionary and industrials. The largest detractors to relative performance were stock selection in financials, an underweight and stock selection in information technology and an overweight and stock selection in consumer staples.
From a country perspective, the largest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year were an overweight in Russia, stock selection in China and an underweight allocation in Saudi Arabia. The largest detractors to relative performance were an overweight and stock selection in India, stock selection in South Korea and an overweight and stock selection in Brazil.
The largest contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year included Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), Novatek and Yum China Holdings.
In our opinion, TSMC is one of the world’s leading semiconductor foundries and the key enabler of the new computing revolution, with multiple architectures, chip platforms and design teams competing to push computing and AI innovation. We believe that TSMC should be well positioned, as they continue migrating to next generation processing nodes.
Novatek, which we have held for nearly 15 years, is one of the world’s largest independent global gas producers, and we believe it has considerable growth options in its portfolio of low cost and competitively advantaged
liquefied natural gas projects. Market conditions allowed us, following strict guidelines and regulations, to sell shares in the over-the-counter market. The remaining shares have been priced in accordance with the most recent observed transaction, making appropriate adjustments to reflect additional market color.
Yum China Holdings operates a portfolio of quick serve restaurants in the underpenetrated Chinese market with notable brands such as KFC and Pizza Hut. Despite the challenges of operating under China’s zero-COVID-19 policy, Yum’s adaptability in terms of managements’ flexibility, supply chain strength and digital initiatives allowed them to provide quality food to their budget conscious consumers. As a result, Yum China Holdings has continued to see same store sales improve, margin expansion and improved operating profits, nearing or above pre-COVID-19 levels. Continued expansion initiatives into Tier three and four cities should support ongoing growth, in our opinion.
The largest detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year included HDFC Bank, Banco Bradesco and Kotak Mahindra Bank.
HDFC Bank is India’s largest private sector bank. HDFC Bank merged with its parent, HDFC Corp, a long-term holding of the Fund, in the third quarter of 2023. We believe that the combined entity should be able to achieve lower cost of funds for mortgage products along with better cross-selling opportunities through HDFC Bank’s vast branch network. Mortgage penetration and consumer finance remain embryonic in India. The stock has been under pressure as the result of earnings adjustments related to the integration.
Banco Bradesco is one of the largest private financial institutions in Brazil. It operates a top tier bank and a strong insurance business. We expect that Bradesco should benefit when macroeconomic headwinds in Brazil recede, resulting in a baseline for credit growth. However, the challenging environment of the last several quarters have weighed on asset quality, net interest income and return on equity for Bradesco. The uncertainties surrounding the timing and scale of a macroeconomic recovery and the implications for the company have weighed on the stock. We reduced our position in the holding during the fiscal year.
Kotak Mahindra Bank serves the largely underbanked Indian population through a physical retail presence and a robust digital infrastructure. We believe that Kotak Mahindra Bank’s digital campaigns should aid in acquiring younger customers who are climbing the income ladder providing growing customer volumes at a low acquisition cost. Kotak Mahindra Bank has strong fundamentals and underwriting quality which will support growth initiatives in the loan book and commercial business segments, in our opinion. A recent management transition has put
| | |
2 | | Invesco Developing Markets Fund |
pressure on the stock. We remain confident that the company will continue to execute well on its growth strategy and will closely engage with the new CEO to monitor progress.
As long-term investors, company fundamentals are especially crucial to us. Our investment approach has always been rooted in the unwavering focus of seeking to unearth high-quality compounders-innovative companies with structural tailwinds, durable competitive advantages and a host of options that will manifest over time. We believe that this environment favors those with an idiosyncratic approach and rewards genuine imagination and creativity in unearthing the rare breed of extraordinary companies.
We thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Developing Markets Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund. The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco Developing Markets Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.
Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the OFI Global China Fund, LLC (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary by the Fund organized under the laws of Delaware. The Subsidiary may invest in companies established or operating in, or with significant exposure to, the People’s Republic of China or other developing markets countries. For operational efficiency and regulatory considerations, the Fund may gain access to such companies through an investment in the Subsidiary. The Fund may invest 10% of its net assets in the Subsidiary. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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.
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board-approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.

15 | | Invesco Developing Markets Fund |
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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. | Foreign Withholding Taxes –The Fund is subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Fund may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to seek to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history. Any receivables recorded will be shown under receivables for Foreign withholding tax claims on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will receive refunds applied for in a timely manner or at all. |
As a result of recent court rulings in certain countries across the European Union, tax refunds for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries have been received by investment companies. Any tax refund payments are reflected as Foreign withholding tax claims in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and any related interest is included in Interest income. The Fund may incur fees paid to third party providers that assist in the recovery of the tax reclaims. These fees are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Professional services fees, if any. In the event tax refunds received by the Fund during the fiscal year exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Fund for the year, and the Fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, the Fund intends to enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in order to pay the associated liability on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund did not enter into any closing agreements.
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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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 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.
I. | 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 |
| | |
16 | | Invesco Developing Markets Fund |
| 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 the 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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. | Other Risks – The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act. As an investor in the Subsidiary, the Fund does not have all of the protections offered to investors by the 1940 Act. However, the Subsidiary is controlled by the Fund and managed by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. The Subsidiary may invest substantially all of its assets in a limited number of issuers or a single issuer. To the extent that it does so, the Subsidiary is more subject to the risks associated with and developments affecting such issuers than a fund that invests more widely. |
The Fund’s investments in Class A Shares of Chinese companies involve certain risks and special considerations not typically associated with investments in U.S. companies, such as greater government control over the economy, political and legal uncertainty, currency fluctuations or blockage, the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. The Fund may invest directly in China A shares through Stock Connect, and will be subject to the following risks: sudden changes in quota limitations, application of trading suspensions, differences in trading days between the PRC and Stock Connect, operational risk, clearing and settlement risk and regulatory and taxation risk.
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 the Adviser. 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:

|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.900% | |
|
| |
Next $6 billion | | | 0.850% | |
|
| |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.800% | |
|
| |
Next $20 billion | | | 0.750% | |
|
| |
Next $15 billion | | | 0.740% | |
|
| |
Over $45 billion | | | 0.730% | |
|
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.77%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
Effective July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 2.25%, 3.00%, 2.50%, 2.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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
| | |
17 | | Invesco Developing Markets Fund |
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. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,091,682.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $54,794 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $4,022 and $1,576 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. 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.

Securities determined to be Level 3 at the end of the reporting period were valued primarily by utilizing evaluated prices from a third-party vendor pricing service. A significant change in third-party pricing information could result in a lower or higher value in Level 3 investments.
NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) under which a fund may trade OTC derivatives. An OTC transaction entered into under an ISDA Master Agreement typically involves a collateral posting arrangement, payment netting provisions and close-out netting provisions. These netting provisions allow for reduction of credit risk through netting of contractual obligations. The enforceability of the netting provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement depends on the governing law of the ISDA Master Agreement, among other factors.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $59,303.
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 SSB, 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.

|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 21,843,009,093 | |
|
| |
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 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 has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2023, as follows:

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and foreign capital gains taxes, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $69,480,749 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $69,480,749. Further, as a result of tax deferrals acquired in the reorganization of into the Fund, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $17,464, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $32,378,592 and shares of beneficial interest was increased by $32,396,056.

(a) | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 35% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. IDI has an agreement with these entities to sell Fund shares. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing. The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |
(b) | After the close of business on June 23, 2023, the Fund acquired all the net assets of Invesco Emerging Markets Innovators Fund (the “Target Fund”) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund on March 16, 2023. The reorganization was executed in order to reduce overlap and increase efficiencies in the Adviser’s product line. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,608,367 shares of the Fund for 12,966,553 shares outstanding of the Target Fund as of the close of business on June 23, 2023. Shares of the Target Fund were exchanged for the like class of shares of the Fund, based on the relative net asset value of the Target Fund to the net asset value of the Fund on the close of business, June 23, 2023. The Target Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on June 23, 2023 of $100,247,399, including $2,469,400 of unrealized appreciation (depreciation), were combined with those of the Fund. The net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $24,527,723,231 and $24,627,970,630 immediately after the acquisition. |
The pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023 assuming the reorganization had been completed on November 1, 2022, the beginning of the annual reporting period are as follows:
| | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 247,663,411 | |
|
| |
Net realized/unrealized gains | | | 3,614,474,818 | |
|
| |
Change in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 3,862,138,229 | |
|
| |
As the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations since June 23, 2023.

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
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco Developing Markets Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $910.10 | | $6.07 | | $1,018.85 | | $6.41 | | 1.26% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 906.80 | | 9.66 | | 1,015.07 | | 10.21 | | 2.01 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 908.90 | | 7.27 | | 1,017.59 | | 7.68 | | 1.51 |

Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 911.80 | | 4.14 | | 1,020.87 | | 4.38 | | 0.86 |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Developing Markets Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (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 five year periods and the fifth quintile for the three year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below
| | |
25 | | Invesco Developing Markets Fund |
the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board also considered that the Fund’s exposure to Russia and its stock selection in certain sectors and regions negatively impacted performance. The Board also considered that it had recently approved the reorganization of Invesco Emerging Markets Innovators Fund into the Fund, which reorganization was anticipated to close on or around June 23, 2023. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
The Board also compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (defined for this purpose as the
advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2022.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated
| | |
26 | | Invesco Developing Markets Fund |
securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
At the start of the fiscal year, US equity markets rebounded, despite mixed data on the economy and corporate earnings. However, the US Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) message that rate hikes would continue until data showed inflation meaningfully declining, sent markets lower in December 2022. As energy prices declined, the rate of inflation slowed modestly in the fourth quarter of 2022. Corporate earnings generally met expectations, though companies provided cautious future guidance. With inflation still at multi-decade highs and little evidence of a slowing economy, the Fed raised its target rate by 0.75% in November and by 0.50% in December.1
US equities managed to deliver gains in the first quarter of 2023 despite significant volatility and a banking crisis. A January rally gave way to a February selloff as higher-than-expected inflation, a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicated that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future, raising the risk of a deeper than expected recession. In March, the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread sent investors to safe-haven assets, sparking a bond rally, particularly among securities at the short end of the yield curve. With instability in the banking sector, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by only 0.25% in February 2023 and again in March.1 The Fed’s actions to stabilize the banking system in March sent markets higher, so equities were surprisingly resilient despite the turmoil.
The US economy and equity markets remained resilient in the second quarter of 2023, as milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings supported equities, with most major indexes posting
gains for the quarter and with some big tech names providing optimistic future guidance. Following the March banking crisis, markets stabilized in April, as corporate earnings season got underway, with many companies surprising consensus earnings and revenue estimates. Facing persistently strong employment data, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its May meeting,1 but left rates unchanged at its June meeting, giving investors the long-awaited “pause” in rate hikes, which sent equities broadly higher.
Equity markets declined in the third quarter and into October 2023 as a resilient US economy complicated the Fed’s efforts to tame inflation. While inflation has slowed from its peak, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2% in July, and the 12-month headline inflation rate rose to 3.2% from 3% in June.2 Due to the persistence of inflation, the Fed raised the federal funds rate again in July by 0.25%. The CPI data released in September was higher-than-expected and the overall US labor market remained tight with unemployment near historic lows. At the same time, wages rose and consumers continued to spend, pushing the third quarter year-over-year Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 4.9%, far above expectations.2 Despite the higher-than-expected GDP for the third quarter of 2023, the Fed held interest rates steady at its September and October meetings, but left open the possibility of another rate hike before the end of the calendar year.1
Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, US stocks for the fiscal year had positive returns of 10.69%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.3
During the fiscal year, stock selection within the health care, industrials and information technology sectors was the primary driver of the Fund’s underperformance versus the Russell Midcap Growth Index. This was partially offset by stronger stock selection within the energy sector.
The largest individual contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year included Synopsys, Manhattan Associates and Cadence Design Systems. Synopsys provides software products and consulting services in the electronic design automation industry. Management posted strong earnings and articulated its positioning in AI, which could expand Synopsys’ market opportunity. Manhattan Associates provides IT solutions for distribution centers. Its cloud warehouse products have been well received within its customer base. Cadence Design Systems engages in the design and development of integrated circuits and electronic devices. Market opportunity could expand via AI adoption.
The largest individual detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year included Paylocity, Molina Healthcare and DexCom. Paylocity provides online HR and payroll software. The company succumbed to general weakness in software growth stocks late last year even though the company’s fundamentals were completely intact. We exited our position during the fiscal year. Molina Healthcare is a managed care company focused on serving Medicaid and Medicare members. Management reported solid 2022 fourth quarter results and gave a strong outlook for 2023. However, the broader managed care industry underperformed in February due to the rotation away from defensive groups to more cyclical groups, which included Molina. DexCom is a medical device company providing continuous glucose monitoring systems. Despite reporting strong 2023 second quarter results, the stock underperformed due to concerns that widespread use of obesity drugs will slow the diagnosis rate for diabetes, which would hurt sales of DexCom’s continuous glucose monitors.
Our long-term investment process remains the same. We seek dynamic companies with above-average, sustainable revenue and earnings growth that we believe are positioned to outperform. This includes what we view as leading firms in structurally attractive industries with committed management teams that have proven records of success.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund. Note: The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.
Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Discovery Mid Cap 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.

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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “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. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Adviser $126,612 in fees for securities lending agent services. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the 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. |
| | |
16 | | Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund |
| Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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. | Other Risks – Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.680% | |
|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.650% | |
|
| |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.620% | |
|
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.600% | |
|
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.61%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
Effective July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $139,670.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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
| | |
17 | | Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund |
Class R shares (collectively the “Plans”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plans, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares, and up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $441,471 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $25,648 and $3,754 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund incurred $135,654 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $128,432.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:

|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation – investments | | $ | 366,807,324 | |
|
| |

Shares of beneficial interest | | | 4,826,309,595 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 4,776,904,208 | |
|
| |
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. 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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
|
| |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | Total | |
|
| |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 401,295,815 | | | $– | | $ | 401,295,815 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $6,606,266,922 and $7,197,856,709, 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 | | | $588,402,050 | |

|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | | $366,807,324 | |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $4,661,570,758.
NOTE 9–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $18,279,558, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $219 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $18,279,777. 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 Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers.

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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $925.20 | | $5.05 | | $1,019.96 | | $5.30 | | 1.04% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 921.80 | | 8.57 | | 1,016.28 | | 9.00 | | 1.77 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 924.20 | | 6.26 | | 1,018.70 | | 6.56 | | 1.29 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 926.50 | | 3.84 | | 1,021.22 | | 4.02 | | 0.79 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 926.80 | | 3.59 | | 1,021.48 | | 3.77 | | 0.74 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 927.20 | | 3.25 | | 1,021.83 | | 3.41 | | 0.67 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Russell Midcap® Growth Index (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 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
| | |
23 | | Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund |
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 Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 requested and considered additional information from management regarding the Fund’s actual management fees and the levels of the Fund’s breakpoints in light of current asset levels. The Board also considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board considered information from Invesco Advisers regarding the levels of the Fund’s breakpoints in light of current assets. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The
Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by
| | |
24 | | Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund |
Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
Global equity markets posted gains in November 2022, after better inflation data sparked a rally. However, investor sentiment worsened in December after central banks signaled continued interest rate hikes into 2023, as inflation remained above target levels. International stocks outperformed US stocks in the fourth quarter of 2022, led by results in the UK and the rest of Europe. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by China, which eased its zero-COVID-19 policy and started to reopen.
For the first half of 2023, global equity markets continued to deliver gains amid continued interest rate increases, volatility and a banking crisis. The largest shock came in March 2023 as the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, along with the subsequent UBS take-over of Credit Suisse, led to a selloff in US and European financial stocks. Optimism about AI (Artificial Intelligence) boosted technology stocks during the second quarter of 2023. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the first half of 2023, but within the region, China’s equities declined due to weaker-than-expected economic data, real estate developer debt issues and geopolitical concerns.
The global equity rally in the first half of 2023 came to an end in the third quarter as global equity markets declined. Concerns about a slowing global economy and interest rates staying “higher for longer” hampered stock returns. During the quarter, value stocks outperformed growth stocks. Energy was the best performing sector, ending the quarter in positive territory, boosted by rising oil prices as Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cut supplies. Developed global equities underperformed emerging market equities. Within emerging markets, China’s equities were weighed down by concerns in the real estate
sector, but positive performance in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and India offset those results.
Global equity markets continued their decline in October 2023, but growth stocks managed to outperform value stocks. Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, both developed market equities and emerging market equities finished the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, in positive territory.
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.
The Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index for the fiscal year.
The Fund’s holdings in the consumer discretionary outperformed those of the benchmark index and were the largest contributors to relative outperformance. An overweight in the sector added to relative return. Within consumer discretionary, Yum China, the owner/operator of KFC and Pizza Hut in China, contributed to both absolute and relative results. Stock selection and an overweight in industrials also contributed to relative performance. AirTAC International, a Chinese pneumatic components manufacturer, was a key relative contributor within the sector. Having no exposure in the materials sector added to relative return as well. On a geographic basis, stock selection in Taiwan and underweights in Saudi Arabia and India positively contributed to relative results.
Conversely, stock selection and an overweight in health care detracted from relative performance. Within the sector, Kalbe Farma, a large pharmaceutical and consumer health company in Indonesia, detracted from both absolute and relative results. Fund holdings in the real estate sector underperformed those of the benchmark index, detracting from relative return. Brazilian mall owner and operator Multiplan Empreendimentos Imobiliarios was a notable relative detractor
within real estate. Having no exposure in the energy sector hampered relative results. Geographically, stock selection in Indonesia, Brazil and China were among the largest detractors from relative performance. Overweights in Indonesia and Brazil relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index had a negative effect on relative results.
During the fiscal year, we continued to look for opportunities to improve the growth potential and quality of the Fund’s portfolio by adding companies based on our evaluation of the EQV characteristics for each company. We initiated new positions in Hong Kong-based life insurance group AIA, Indian private life insurance company SBI Life Insurance and Indian online travel booking services company MakeMyTrip. We sold several holdings, including Mexican airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, Chinese ecommerce company JD.com and Turkish financial and industrial conglomerate Haci Omer Sabanci.
As always, we remain focused on a bottom-up investment approach of identifying attractive companies that fit our EQV-focused investment process. Our EQV investment approach focuses on earnings, demonstrated by sustainable earnings growth; quality, demonstrated by efficient capital allocation; and valuation, demonstrated by attractive prices. Our balanced EQV-focused approach aligns with our goal of delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term.
We thank you for your continued investment in Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.

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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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. | Foreign Withholding Taxes – The Fund is subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Fund may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to seek to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history. Any receivables recorded will be shown under receivables for Foreign withholding tax claims on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will receive refunds applied for in a timely manner or at all. |
As a result of recent court rulings in certain countries across the European Union, tax refunds for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries have been received by investment companies. Any tax refund payments are reflected as Foreign withholding tax claims in the Statement of Operations, and any related interest is included in Interest income. The Fund may incur fees paid to third party providers that assist in the recovery of the tax reclaims. These fees are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Professional services fees, if any. In the event tax refunds received by the Fund during the fiscal year exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Fund for the year, and the Fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, the Fund intends to enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in order to pay the associated liability on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund did not enter into any closing agreements.
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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “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 |
| | |
14 | | Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund |
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.
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Adviser $738 in fees for securities lending agent services. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the 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 the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
L. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
M. | Other Risks – 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. Such countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information. |
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.88%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. and separate sub-advisory agreements with Invesco 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).
| | |
15 | | Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund |
Effective July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 2.25%, 3.00%, 2.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $93,704.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $24,118 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,130 and $1,009 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $16,842.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | |

|
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 28,277,290 | |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation – investments | | | 135,789,808 | |

|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,534,108,184 | |
|
| |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and passive foreign investment companies.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $174,031,577 and $411,990,121, 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and broker. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $925.40 | | $6.55 | | $1,018.40 | | $6.87 | | 1.35% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 921.90 | | 10.17 | | 1,014.62 | | 10.66 | | 2.10 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 926.60 | | 5.34 | | 1,019.66 | | 5.60 | | 1.10 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 926.90 | | 5.10 | | 1,019.91 | | 5.35 | | 1.05 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 927.10 | | 4.76 | | 1,020.27 | | 4.99 | | 0.98 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund’s (the Fund) 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 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (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 third quintile for the three year period and the second quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that
| | |
21 | | Invesco EQV Emerging Markets All Cap Fund |
performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one and five year periods and below the performance of the Index for the three year period. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in
business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, volatility remained elevated in global fixed-income markets for much of the year as investor concerns vacillated between growth and inflation. Uncertainty on the path of the US Federal Reserve (the Fed), which has a global impact, kept markets guessing whether the prospect of continued strong growth would lead to higher interest rates, potentially for longer, or the prospect of imminent recession would unfold due to monetary tightening at a pace and scale not seen in the past two decades. While inflation data surprised to the upside in the first half of the fiscal year, growth data largely did so throughout the year, leading developed market (DM) central banks, particularly the Fed, to raise policy rates throughout the fiscal year. As disinflation unfolded in emerging markets (EM), uncertainty on the path of the Fed generated questions on the degree to which EM central banks would need to continue hiking or remain at elevated rates, despite their earlier start to monetary policy tightening. As disinflation commenced in DMs, especially the US, and continued in EMs, this concern abated, and EM central banks began to cut interest rates.
Towards the end of 2022, bond markets finished a volatile year with gains in a last few months spurred by slowing US inflation, hints from the Fed that future interest rate hikes would be scaled back, and China’s relaxation of its stringent zero COVID-19 policy. DM central banks, including the Fed, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England, continued to hike rates in an effort to combat persistent inflation, yet central banks within EMs began to slow or pause their hiking cycles. Despite the headwinds of aggressive monetary policy tightening throughout 2022, the global economy showed strength in the
first quarter of 2023 as China reopened and Europe experienced a mild winter. However, stress in the banking sector erupted in March, raising recession fears and tempering investors’ sentiment toward risk. Fortunately, these issues did not appear to be systemic, and policymakers’ swift response helped to calm markets. Central banks in major DMs continued to raise interest rates, albeit at a slower pace. The Fed and Bank of England raised their policy rates by 0.50%, while the ECB hiked by 1.00%.1 Select central banks in EMs also raised rates during the first quarter, but most appeared to be at or near the end of their hiking cycles. As a result of changing expectations for relative growth and monetary policy, the US dollar weakened during the quarter, declining 1.1%.1
The second quarter of 2023 saw a decrease in market volatility as the threat of an imminent US recession receded amid better-than-expected economic data. Inflation generally eased in developed economies, largely driven by moderation in the goods component. However, core inflation remained more stubborn, leading most developed central banks to continue their monetary tightening. The ECB and Bank of England each raised their policy rate by 0.50%.1 The Fed raised its rate by 0.25%1 in May before pausing in June and then signaling that rates may remain elevated for some time. Most central banks in EMs reached their terminal rate for the current cycle, and with disinflation materializing, started to have room to begin cutting interest rates in the second half of the calendar year. The US dollar continued its sideways trend as investors anticipated the Fed nearing the end of its rate hikes.
In the third quarter of 2023, progress on disinflation allowed many major economies, including the US, to pause their rate hiking campaigns. Nevertheless, resilience in economic activity and the labor market raised the
prospect that central banks will keep rates higher for an extended period. Both the Fed and the ECB raised rates by 0.25%1 in July and the Bank of England raised rates in August. The ECB hiked again in September and suggested this rate might be sufficient to guide inflation back to its target. The Fed and the Bank of England kept rates steady in September, but guided the market to anticipate an extended period of elevated rates. Divergence in monetary policy among EM central banks continued as some countries, including Poland, Brazil, Chile and Peru, began to cut rates over the quarter. Meanwhile, a few countries, including Thailand and Turkey, hiked rates during the quarter. In addition, China’s economy appeared to stabilize as the country’s central bank further eased its monetary policy. The US dollar gained 3.2% during the quarter,1 driven by surging Treasury yields. This momentum continued through October.
Over the fiscal year, both interest rate and currency positioning were additive to the Fund on an absolute and relative basis. Specifically, interest rate positioning in Colombia, and positioning in the Hungarian forint and Mexican peso contributed the most to the Fund’s relative performance compared to the JP Morgan Government Bond Index – Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Index, while interest rate positioning in Czech Republic, positioning in the Colombia peso, and exposure to the euro as a funding currency detracted the most.
Going forward, our expectations for the medium to long term are that the global interest rate hiking cycle is behind us and that volatility in both emerging and developed sovereign bond markets will eventually decline. This gives investors the opportunity to potentially benefit from high nominal and real interest rates in EM sovereign bonds. We also anticipate that the US dollar could continue to weaken as the Fed reaches peak rates and begins to ease monetary policy over time. The difference between interest rate levels in DMs and EMs has in our view benefited EM currencies this year. A weaker dollar could allow EM currencies to continue to offer an additional source of return for investors.
Given the current under-owned nature of EM local debt, we believe that the growth and interest rate differentials between EM and DM countries may be a catalyst for interest to return to the asset class. Importantly, individual country dynamics are reasserting themselves as various growth and inflation dynamics transpire across countries, offering greater differentiation among opportunities. We remain focused on extracting alpha as these dynamics unfold.
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. We believe
| | |

derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to certain asset classes 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 fiscal year 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. 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 or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain investments held by the Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund. Note: The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.
Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% 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.

NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value.

securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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 the 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
| | |
21 | | Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt 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 for hedging 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 instrument or asset. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | Call Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may write 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 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.
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.
M. | Put Options Purchased and Written – The Fund may purchase and write put options including options on securities indexes, or foreign currency and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option’s underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract. |
Additionally, the Fund may enter into an option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption”. A swaption is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the Counterparties.
Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund’s resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying portfolio securities. The Fund may write put options to earn additional income in the form of option premiums if it expects the price of the underlying instrument to remain stable or rise during the option period so that the option will not be exercised. The risk in this strategy is that the price of the underlying securities may decline by an amount greater than the premium received. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on put options purchased and put options written are included in the Statement of Operations as Net realized gain (loss) from and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Investment securities and Option contracts written, respectively. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.
N. | Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/ OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/ or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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
| | |
22 | | Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund |
margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
O. | LIBOR Transition Risk – The Fund may have investments in financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR was intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. The publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates ceased to be published after June 2023. The FCA will permit the use of synthetic USD LIBOR rates for non-U.S. contracts for a limited period of time after June 30, 2023, but any such rates would be considered non-representative of the underlying market. |
There remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law, among other limitations. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
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. |
R. | Other Risks – Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of
| | |
23 | | Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund |
interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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. Such countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
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.
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. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires.
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.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.700% | |
|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.650% | |
|
| |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.600% | |
|
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.580% | |
|
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.69%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
Effective March 1, 2023 through at least February 28, 2025, the Adviser has 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 1.20%, 1.95%, 1.45%, 0.95%, 0.95%, and 0.95%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to March 1, 2023, 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 total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expenses 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 February 28, 2025. 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. To the extent that the annualized expense ratio does not exceed the expense limits, the Adviser will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers or reimbursements prior to the end of each fiscal year.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $8,022 and reimbursed class level expenses of $37,278, $7,260, $2,865, $111,519, $2 and $845 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, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $3,995 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $453 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

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

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $3,752.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – investments | | $ | (7,425,055 | ) |
|

| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 117,710,777 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 98,561,656 | |
|
| |
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 derivative instruments, wash sales and straddles.
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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
|
|
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | | Long-Term | | | | Total |
|
|
Not subject to expiration | | $6,468,628 | | | | $5,159,588 | | | | $11,628,216 |
|
|
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $129,105,747 and $117,835,526, 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 | | $ | 2,529,726 | |

| |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (9,954,781 | ) |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $ | (7,425,055 | ) |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $101,967,808.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and return of capital distributions, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was increased by $228,405, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $1,114,280 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $1,342,685. 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 Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.

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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $976.10 | | $5.83 | | $1,019.31 | | $5.96 | | 1.17% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 970.50 | | 9.59 | | 1,015.48 | | 9.80 | | 1.93 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 973.00 | | 7.11 | | 1,018.00 | | 7.27 | | 1.43 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 977.40 | | 4.64 | | 1,020.52 | | 4.74 | | 0.93 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 977.40 | | 4.69 | | 1,020.47 | | 4.79 | | 0.94 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 977.20 | | 4.63 | | 1,020.52 | | 4.74 | | 0.93 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an
independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis, and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to
attract and retain talent. The Board received a description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the JP Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Index (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
| | |
32 | | Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund |
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 Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board also noted that there were only four other funds in the Fund’s expense group. The Board noted that the Fund’s actual management fees and total expense ratio ranked five out of five of its expense group. The Board requested and considered additional information from management regarding the Fund’s actual management fees, as well as the Fund’s total expenses relative to peers. As previously noted, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management, including with respect to the Fund’s narrowly priced, small expense group and limitations regarding comparing the Fund’s expenses to such peers. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, and subsequently with representatives of management.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its
affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory
agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its
| | |
33 | | Invesco Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund |
securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and you Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) generated a total return of 1.71%. The Fund outperformed the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, which returned 0.64% during the fiscal year. The Fund invests across three distinct alternative investment strategies including equity, credit and macro. The equity and credit sleeves contributed to absolute performance while the macro sleeve detracted from performance during the fiscal year.
The beginning of the fiscal year was headlined by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) continuing its rapid tightening of monetary policy in an effort to combat inflation via higher interest rates while simultaneously engineering a soft landing to not push the economy into a recession. The Fed aggressively raised its federal funds rate at the beginning of the fiscal year: a 0.75% hike in November, its largest hike since 1994, a 0.50% hike in December and a 0.25% hike in January, to a target federal funds rate of 4.50% to 4.75%.1
US equities managed to deliver gains in the first quarter of 2023 despite significant volatility and a banking crisis. A January rally gave way to a February selloff as higher-than-expected inflation, a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicated that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future, raising the risk of a deeper than expected recession. In March, the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread sent investors to safe-haven assets, sparking a bond rally, particularly among securities at the short end of the yield curve. With instability in the banking sector, the Fed raised the federal fund’s rate by only 0.25% in February of
2023 and again in March.1 The Fed’s actions to stabilize the banking system in March sent markets higher, so equities were surprisingly resilient despite the turmoil.
The US economy and equity markets remained resilient in the second quarter of 2023, as milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings supported equities, with most major indexes posting gains for the quarter and with some big tech names providing optimistic future guidance. Following the March banking crisis, markets stabilized in April due to milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings. Facing persistently strong employment data, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its May meeting,1 but left rates unchanged at its June meeting, giving investors the long-awaited “pause” in rate hikes, which sent equities broadly higher.
Equity markets declined in the third quarter and into October 2023 as a resilient US economy complicated the Fed’s efforts to tame inflation. While inflation has slowed from its peak, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2% in July, and the 12-month headline inflation rate rose to 3.2% from 3% in June.2 Due to the persistence of inflation, the Fed raised the federal funds rate in July by 0.25% again. The CPI data released in September was higher-than-expected and the overall US labor market remained tight with unemployment near historic lows. At the same time, wages rose and consumers continued to spend, pushing the third quarter year-over-year Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 4.9%, far above expectations.2 Despite the higher-than-expected GDP for the third quarter of 2023, the Fed held interest rates steady at its September and October meetings, but left open the possibility of another rate hike before the end of the calendar year.1
Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, US stocks for the fiscal year had
positive returns of 10.69%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.3
The Fund’s equity sleeve follows its systematic defensive multi-factor approach, which combines a focus on low volatility with other factor exposures, particularly Quality, Momentum and Value.
For the fiscal year ending October 2023, the Fund’s equity strategy underperformed the S&P 500 Index. Not surprisingly, the Fund’s inherently defensive low volatility positioning limited its ability to capture returns in a strong rising market environment. However, our intended factors combined to add significantly to performance where Momentum got off to a slow start, but large contributions towards the end of the fiscal year led to strong absolute returns for the factor overall. Similarly, Quality struggled for the first half of the fiscal year, though rotated back into favor as investors showed preference to companies with positive balance sheet characteristics. On the other hand, Value ended the fiscal year aiding absolute returns only slightly.
Within fixed-income, a January rally gave way to a February selloff as higher-than-expected inflation, a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicated that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future, raising the risk of a deeper than expected recession. In March, the failure of the two US regional banks caused significant volatility in fixed-income markets and prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread pushed overall corporate spread premiums wider over the fiscal year. Markets stabilized due to milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings.
Through the second quarter of 2023, inflation generally eased in developed economies, largely driven by moderation in the goods component of inflation. However, core inflation remained more stubborn and led to developed central banks to continue tightening, showcased by another 0.25% hike by the Fed in July, bringing the target rate from 5.25% to 5.50%, its highest level since June 2006.4 While rates remained elevated across all maturities on the yield curve, the two-year Treasury rates increased from 3.45% to 4.85% during the fiscal year, while 10-year Treasury rates increased from 3.53% to 4.48%.5 At the end of the fiscal year, the yield curve remained inverted. Additionally, in August, US debt was downgraded by the Fitch credit rating agency from AAA to AA† on the premise of expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years.6
The Fund’s credit sleeve utilizes a systematic, quantitative, factor-based approach to investing.
Over the fiscal year, bonds with attractive carry and value factors positively impacted the Fund’s absolute performance, particularly within investment grade holdings. Duration was the largest detractor from the Fund’s

performance as interest rates rose sharply over the fiscal year, followed by low volatility factor exposure. The rise of interest rates during the fiscal year had a negative impact on performance, but overall, the boost from carry and value factors outweighed the negative impact of interest rates.
The Fund’s macro sleeve attempts to take advantage of short-term market trends by investing both long and short across liquid global equity, government bond and commodity markets based on each asset’s likelihood to outperform cash over the next 30-day period. The macro sleeve detracted from performance as gains within equities and bonds were outweighed by losses within commodities. Equities delivered absolute gains due to timely overweight exposures in Europe and Japan. Exposure to bonds also contributed to results primarily due to underweight positioning in German bunds, UK gilts and US Treasuries. Exposure to commodities produced losses primarily due to overweight positioning within energy throughout the first half of the fiscal year and due to trendless performance within both precious and industrial metals which made tactical positioning challenging.
The Fund is managed as three separate strategies; therefore, the detractors from the Fund’s performance are included in the discussion of the individual sleeves that collectively make up the Fund.
The Fund continues to focus on selecting securities that we believe offer attractive risk-adjusted returns and can deliver effective diversification combined with low volatility, good downside risk mitigation and low sensitivity to traditional market factors over the long-term.
Please note that the macro strategy is principally implemented with derivative instruments that include futures, commodity-linked notes and credit default swaps. Therefore, all or most of the performance of the macro 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.

Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest); ratings are subject to change without notice. Not Rated indicates the debtor was not rated and should not be
interpreted as indicating low quality. For more information on S&P Global Ratings’ rating methodology, please visit spglobal.com and select ‘Understanding Credit Ratings’ under ‘About Ratings’ on the homepage. For more information on Moody’s rating methodology, please visit ratings.moodys.com and select ‘Rating Methodologies’ on the homepage.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Fundamental Alternatives Fund (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Fundamental Alternatives Fund. Note: The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.
Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Industry and/or sector 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. |
(b) | All or a portion of this security was out on loan at October 31, 2023. |
(c) | Non-income producing security. |
(d) | Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3. |
(e) | All or a portion of the value was pledged as collateral to cover margin requirements for open futures contracts. See Note 10. |
(f) | Security traded on a discount basis. The interest rate shown represents the discount rate at the time of purchase by the Fund. |
(g) | Security issued at a fixed rate for a specific period of time, after which it will convert to a variable rate. |
(h) | Foreign denominated security. Principal amount is denominated in the currency indicated. |
(i) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at October 31, 2023 was $10,799,171, which represented 3.26% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(j) | Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity maybe substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years. |
(k) | Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the 1933 Act and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. |
(l) | Affiliated holding. Affiliated holdings are investments in entities which are under common ownership or control of Invesco Ltd. or are investments in entities in which the Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. |

(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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, 2023
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Fundamental Alternatives 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodity-linked derivatives primarily through investments in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts), and certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the
| | |
25 | | Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund |
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 price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider,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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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. | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
J. | Structured Securities – The Fund may invest in structured securities. Structured securities are a type of derivative security whose value is determined by |
| | |
26 | | Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund |
| 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. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “affiliated money market funds”) and is shown as such on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Adviser $1,083 in fees for securities lending agent services. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
L. | Securities Sold Short – The Fund may enter into short sales of securities which it concurrently holds (against the box) or for which it holds no corresponding position (naked). Securities sold short represent a liability of the Fund to acquire specific securities at prevailing market prices at a future date in order to satisfy the obligation to deliver the securities sold. The liability is recorded on the books of the Fund at the market value of the common stock determined each day in accordance with the procedures for security valuations. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund realizes a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. |
The Fund is required to segregate cash or securities as collateral in margin accounts at a level that is equal to the obligation to the broker who delivered such securities to the buyer on behalf of the Fund. The Short stock rebate, if any, presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations represents the net income earned on short sale proceeds held on deposit with the broker and margin interest earned or incurred on short sale transactions. Margin interest is the income earned (or expense incurred) as a result of the market value of securities sold short being less than (or greater than) the proceeds received from the short sales.
M. | 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 the 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.
N. | 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
O. | 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 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 instrument or asset. Initial margin deposits |
| | |
27 | | Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund |
| 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. |
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, commodity 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, volatility, variance, index and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index, such as the Consumer Price Index, over the term of the swap, and the other party pays a compounded fixed rate.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund will initially enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated, at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
A volatility swap involves an exchange between the Fund and a Counterparty of periodic payments based on the measured volatility of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other reference asset over a specified time frame. Depending on the structure of the swap, either the Fund’s or the Counterparty’s payment obligation will typically be based on the realized volatility of the reference asset as measured by changes in its price or level over a specified time period, while the other party’s payment obligation will be based on a specified rate representing expected volatility for the reference asset at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different reference asset over a specified time period. The Fund will typically make or lose money on a volatility swap depending on the magnitude of the reference asset’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over a specified time period, rather than general increases or decreases in the price of the reference asset. Volatility swaps are often used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of other investments held by the Fund. Variance swaps are similar to volatility swaps, except payments are based on the difference between the implied and measured volatility mathematically squared.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments 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
| | |
28 | | Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund |
(loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, 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. | Bank Loan Risk – Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods, which 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. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund seeks to manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. |
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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
T. | Other Risks – Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs. |
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.850 | % |
Next $ 500 million | | | 0.800 | % |
Next $ 500 million | | | 0.750 | % |
Next $ 500 million | | | 0.700 | % |
Next $ 500 million | | | 0.650 | % |
Next $ 500 million | | | 0.600 | % |
Next $ 500 million | | | 0.550 | % |
Over $4 billion | | | 0.500 | % |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.84%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
Effective July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 2.00%, 2.75%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, 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
| | |
29 | | Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund |
investment companies in which the Fund invests. As a result, the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may exceed the boundary limits above. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $113,958.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $21,716 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $196 and $1,220 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $34,178.
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
| | |
32 | | Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund |
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
| |
Ordinary income* | | $ | – | | | $ | 14,046,440 | |
| |
Long-term capital gain | | | 9,370,545 | | | | 48,016 | |
| |
Total distributions | | $ | 9,370,545 | | | $ | 14,094,456 | |
| |
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,711,927 | |
| |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | | 11,786,264 | |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation –investments | | | 9,920,936 | |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation –foreign currencies | | | 5,676 | |
| |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (142,455 | ) |
| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 307,105,204 | |
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 331,387,552 | |
| |
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 derivative instruments.
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, 2023.
NOTE 9–Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $115,951,705 and $157,762,932, 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 | | $ | 20,420,617 | |
| |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (10,499,681 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $ | 9,920,936 | |
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $288,996,515.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and income from the subsidiary, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $1,235,605, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $4,301,535 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $3,065,930. 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 Fundamental Alternatives Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers, agent banks, and portfolio company investees; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC, Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (Index). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the 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
| | |
37 | | Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund |
the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board considered that certain factor exposures and headwinds posed by elevated short-term volatility detracted from Fund performance. The Board also considered that the Fund underwent portfolio management and corresponding investment strategy changes in 2020, and that performance results prior to such date were those of the prior portfolio management team. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund may benefit from
economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the
| | |

federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
Global equity markets posted gains in November 2022, after better inflation data sparked a rally. However, investor sentiment worsened in December after central banks signaled continued interest rate hikes into 2023, as inflation remained above target levels. International stocks outperformed US stocks in the fourth quarter of 2022, led by results in the UK and the rest of Europe. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by China, which eased its zero-COVID-19 policy and started to reopen.
For the first half of 2023, global equity markets continued to deliver gains amid continued interest rate increases, volatility and a banking crisis. The largest shock came in March 2023 as the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, along with the subsequent UBS takeover of Credit Suisse, led to a selloff in US and European financial stocks. Optimism about AI (Artificial Intelligence) boosted technology stocks during the second quarter of 2023. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the first half of 2023, but within the region, China’s equities declined due to weaker-than-expected economic data, real estate developer debt issues and geopolitical concerns.
The global equity rally in the first half of 2023 came to an end in the third quarter as global equity markets declined. Concerns about a slowing global economy and interest rates staying “higher for longer” hampered stock returns. During the quarter, value stocks outperformed growth stocks. Energy was the best performing sector, ending the quarter in positive territory, boosted by rising oil prices as Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cut supplies. Developed global equities underperformed
emerging market equities. Within emerging markets, China’s equities were weighed down by concerns in the real estate sector, but positive performance in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and India offset those results.
Global equity markets continued their decline in October 2023, but growth stocks managed to outperform value stocks. Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, both developed market equities and emerging market equities finished the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, in positive territory.
During the fiscal year, the Fund underperformed the Custom Invesco Global Allocation Index. Relative to the index, the Fund received positive contributions from bottom-up managers’ security selection. Top-down factor rotation and top-down asset allocation detracted from relative performance.
From a top-down asset allocation perspective, the Fund was positioned in a ‘neutral’ or ‘risk-off’ stance compared to the Custom Invesco Global Allocation Index for the middle of the fiscal year (March 2023 through June 2023), and in a more ‘risk on’ position for most of the rest of the fiscal year. This tactical positioning allowed for positive relative contributions from international fixed-income and equities, foreign exchange and cash. Within international equities, top-down factor rotation into defensive factors helped the portfolio capitalize on a defensive factor led rally around mid-fiscal-year. The Fund’s relative detractors were centered in the US equity and fixed-income spaces. The diversification benefits of fixed-income as a ballast to riskier equities held back the Fund’s returns for the fiscal year, as many equity strategies rallied strongly early in the fiscal year.
From a bottom-up managers’ security selection perspective, after controlling for style bias, several global and international Fund strategies contributed to relative outperformance.
Conversely, the Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Fund’s primary mid-cap holding, detracted from relative Fund performance.
Thank you for your investment in Invesco Global Allocation Fund as we continue to dynamically navigate changing macroeconomic and market conditions.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund. Note: The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco Global Allocation Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction
of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board-approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the
| | |
19 | | Invesco Global Allocation Fund |
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 price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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. | Foreign Withholding Taxes – The Fund is subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Fund may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to seek to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history. Any receivables recorded will be shown under receivables for Foreign withholding tax claims on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will receive refunds applied for in a timely manner or at all. |
As a result of recent court rulings in certain countries across the European Union, tax refunds for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries have been received by investment companies. Any tax refund payments are reflected as Foreign withholding tax claims in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and any related interest is included in Interest income. The Fund may incur fees paid to third party providers that assist in the recovery of the tax reclaims. These fees are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Professional services fees, if any. In the event tax refunds received by the Fund during the fiscal year exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Fund for the year, and the Fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, the Fund intends to enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in order to pay the associated liability on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund did not enter into any closing agreements.
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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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 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.
I. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s |
| | |
20 | | Invesco Global Allocation Fund |
| 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. |
J. | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
K. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “affiliated money market funds”) and is shown as such on the Consolidated 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 affiliates on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Adviser $68,200 in fees for securities lending agent services. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliates on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
L. | 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 the 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.
M. | 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
N. | 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 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 instrument or asset. 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 |
| | |
21 | | Invesco Global Allocation Fund |
| 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. |
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, commodity 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, 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
| | |
22 | | Invesco Global Allocation Fund |
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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
R. | Other Risks - Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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. Such countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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* | |
|
| |
Up to $1 billion | | | 0.800% | |
|
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.760% | |
|
| |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.710% | |
|
| |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.660% | |
|
| |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.600% | |
|
| |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.550% | |
|
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.500% | |
|
| |
Over $9 billion | | | 0.480% | |
|
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.78%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
Effective July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 2.25%, 3.00%, 2.50%, 2.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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 fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may exceed the boundary limits above. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $1,570,019.

23 | | Invesco Global Allocation 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $65,745 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $4,246 and $8,456 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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–Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase securities from or sell securities to certain other affiliated 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 that is or could be considered an “affiliated person” by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers is made in reliance on Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act and, to the extent applicable, related SEC staff positions. Each such transaction is effected at the security’s “current market price”, as provided for in these procedures and Rule 17a-7. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $107,391.

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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $68,727.
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. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan 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 SSB, 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.

|
| |
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 derivative instruments and partnerships.
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, 2023, as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of Invesco Global Allocation Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco Global Allocation Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and insurance companies. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $937.80 | | $5.08 | | $1,019.96 | | $5.30 | | 1.04% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 934.10 | | 8.73 | | 1,016.18 | | 9.10 | | 1.79 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 936.90 | | 6.30 | | 1,018.70 | | 6.56 | | 1.29 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 939.10 | | 3.86 | | 1,021.22 | | 4.02 | | 0.79 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 939.40 | | 3.42 | | 1,021.68 | | 3.57 | | 0.70 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 939.30 | | 3.42 | | 1,021.68 | | 3.57 | | 0.70 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Global Allocation Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC, Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco Global Allocation Index (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, 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
| | |
31 | | Invesco Global Allocation Fund |
performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board considered that the Fund recently underwent a change in portfolio management in March 2023. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also
shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
Global equity markets posted gains in November 2022, after better inflation data sparked a rally. However, investor sentiment worsened in December after central banks signaled continued interest rate hikes into 2023, as inflation remained above target levels. International stocks outperformed US stocks in the fourth quarter of 2022, led by results in the UK and the rest of Europe. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by China, which eased its zero-COVID-19 policy and started to reopen.
For the first half of 2023, global equity markets continued to deliver gains amid continued interest rate increases, volatility and a banking crisis. The largest shock came in March 2023 as the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, along with the subsequent UBS takeover of Credit Suisse, led to a selloff in US and European financial stocks. Optimism about AI (Artificial Intelligence) boosted technology stocks during the second quarter of 2023. Emerging market equities also posted gains for the first half of 2023, but within the region, China’s equities declined due to weaker-than-expected economic data, real estate developer debt issues and geopolitical concerns.
The global equity rally in the first half of 2023 came to an end in the third quarter as global equity markets declined. Concerns about a slowing global economy and interest rates staying “higher for longer” hampered stock returns. During the quarter, value stocks outperformed growth stocks. Energy was the best performing sector, ending the quarter in positive territory, boosted by rising oil prices as Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cut supplies. Developed global equities underperformed
emerging market equities. Within emerging markets, China’s equities were weighed down by concerns in the real estate sector, but positive performance in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and India offset those results.
Global equity markets continued their decline in October 2023, but growth stocks managed to outperform value stocks. Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, both developed market equities and emerging market equities finished the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, in positive territory.
Global infrastructure stocks posted negative absolute performance over the fiscal year and underperformed broad global market equities over the period. The Fund’s Class A shares underperformed the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index, its style-specific benchmark. An underweight to the midstream energy sector and security selection among the electric utility sectors were the main detractors to relative performance while the major positive drivers of relative performance came from security selection within the water and diversified sectors.
Eversource Energy, the largest New England utility and one of the country’s largest utility companies, was a top individual detractor from the Fund’s performance. The stock underperformed as the company’s offshore wind assets took a write-down ahead of its expected sale. Also, the rapid rise in interest rates caused markets to reduce the stock’s valuation along with other renewable assets around the world. One of the largest detractors to relative performance arose from an underweight in Williams Companies, a midstream services company. Williams, along with other midstream companies saw their stock prices rise during the period as prices of natural gas and oil increased due to OPEC production cuts and the extension of those
cuts through the rest of 2023. The position in Williams has been exited.
Top individual relative contributors to Fund performance for the fiscal year include SSE, Transurban and Italgas. SSE, a UK-based diversified utility company’s outperformance stemmed from a solid balance sheet and strong inflation-linked sales growth in the UK. Italgas outperformed as Italian utilities had full inflation pass-through proving to be a material advantage relative to other utilities. Transurban outperformed on the back of a strong rebound in Australian toll traffic and inflation linked toll increases. The positions in SSE, Transurban, and Italgas have been exited.
Given the continued resilience in the US economy, we have added to sectors that we expect to outperform in an environment of higher interest rates for an extended period of time. At the close of the fiscal year, relative to the style-specific benchmark, the Fund held overweight positions in water, midstream services, ports, and satellites sectors and underweight positions in electric utilities, tolls, gas distribution, and diversified sectors.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.

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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions - Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital – Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
H. | Foreign Withholding Taxes – The Fund is subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Fund may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to seek to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history. Any receivables recorded will be shown under receivables for Foreign withholding tax claims on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will receive refunds applied for in a timely manner or at all. |
As a result of recent court rulings in certain countries across the European Union, tax refunds for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries have been received by investment companies. Any tax refund payments are reflected as Foreign withholding tax claims in the Statement of Operations, and any related interest is included in Interest income. The Fund may incur fees paid to third party providers that assist in the recovery of the tax reclaims. These fees are reflected on the Statement of Operations as Professional services fees, if any. In the event tax refunds received by the Fund during the fiscal year exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Fund for the year, and the Fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, the Fund intends to enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in order to pay the associated liability on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund did not enter into any closing agreements.
I. | 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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. |
J. | 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. |
K. | 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 |
| | |
14 | | Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund |
| 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. |
L. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “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. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, fees paid to the Adviser were less than $500. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations.
M. | 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 the 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.
N. | 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
O. | Other Risks – The Fund is non-diversified and may invest in securities of fewer issuers than if it were diversified. Thus, the value of the Fund’s shares may vary more widely and the Fund may be subject to greater market and credit risk than if the Fund invested more broadly. |
Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
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. Such countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.8400% | |
|
| |
Next $1 billion | | | 0.8000% | |
|
| |
Next $3 billion | | | 0.7800% | |
|
| |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.7325% | |
|
| |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate 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 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, 2025, 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 to 1.25%, 2.00%, 1.50%, 1.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, 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 February 28, 2025. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $60,834 and reimbursed class level expenses of $36,874, $5,799, $9,462, $41,731, $124 and $17,168 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $4,046 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $2,595 and $96 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. 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 Adviser’s 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. |
| | |
16 | | Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of October 31, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $3,140.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | |
|
| |
Ordinary income* | | $ | 2,521,868 | | | | | | | $ | 2,496,251 | |
|
| |
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
|
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 366,303 | |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – investments | | | (4,364,895 | ) |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – foreign currencies | | | (177 | ) |
|

|
| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 102,241,287 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 92,436,901 | |
|
| |
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. 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.

|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $ | (4,364,895 | ) |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $99,405,121.
NOTE 9–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of REITs, foreign currency transactions and partnerships, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was increased by $138,976, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $136,033 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $2,943. 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 Infrastructure Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $867.20 | | $5.88 | | $1,018.90 | | $6.36 | | 1.25% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 864.30 | | 9.45 | | 1,015.07 | | 10.21 | | 2.01 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 866.60 | | 7.10 | | 1,017.59 | | 7.68 | | 1.51 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 868.30 | | 4.76 | | 1,020.11 | | 5.14 | | 1.01 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 868.40 | | 4.71 | | 1,020.16 | | 5.09 | | 1.00 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 868.40 | | 4.71 | | 1,020.16 | | 5.09 | | 1.00 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund’s (the Fund) 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 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index (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 three year periods and the third quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index
| | |
21 | | Invesco Global Infrastructure Fund |
for the one and three year periods and reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the five year period. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements
with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers
periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, volatility remained elevated in global fixed-income markets for much of the year as investor concerns vacillated between growth and inflation. Uncertainty on the path of the US Federal Reserve (the Fed), which has a global impact, kept markets guessing whether the prospect of continued strong growth would lead to higher interest rates, potentially for longer, or the prospect of imminent recession would unfold due to monetary tightening at a pace and scale not seen in the past two decades. While inflation data surprised to the upside in the first half of the fiscal year, growth data largely did so throughout the year, leading developed market (DM) central banks, particularly the Fed, to raise policy rates throughout the fiscal year. As disinflation unfolded in emerging markets (EM), uncertainty on the path of the Fed generated questions on the degree to which EM central banks would need to continue hiking or remain at elevated rates, despite their earlier start to monetary policy tightening. As disinflation commenced in DMs, especially the US, and continued in EMs, this concern abated, and EM central banks began to cut interest rates.
Towards the end of 2022, bond markets finished a volatile year with gains in a last few months spurred by slowing US inflation, hints from the Fed that future interest rate hikes would be scaled back, and China’s relaxation of its stringent zero COVID-19 policy. DM central banks, including the Fed, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England, continued to hike rates in an effort to combat persistent inflation, yet central banks within EMs began to slow or pause their hiking cycles. Despite the headwinds of aggressive monetary policy tightening throughout 2022, the global economy showed strength in the first quarter of 2023 as China reopened and Europe experienced a mild winter. However,
stress in the banking sector erupted in March, raising recession fears and tempering investors’ sentiment toward risk. Fortunately, these issues did not appear to be systemic, and policymakers’ swift response helped to calm markets. Major DM central banks continued to raise interest rates, albeit at a slower pace. The Fed and Bank of England raised their policy rates by 0.50%, while the ECB hiked by 1.00%.1 Select central banks in EMs also raised rates during the quarter, but most appeared to be at or near the end of their hiking cycles. As a result of changing expectations for relative growth and monetary policy, the US dollar weakened during the quarter, declining 1.1%.1
The second quarter of 2023 saw a decrease in market volatility as the threat of an imminent US recession receded amid better-than-expected economic data. Inflation generally eased in DMs, largely driven by moderation in the goods component. However, core inflation remained more stubborn, leading most developed central banks to continue their monetary tightening. The ECB and Bank of England each raised their policy rate by 0.50%.1 The Fed raised its rate by 0.25%1 in May before pausing in June and then signaling that rates may remain elevated for some time. Most central banks in EMs reached their terminal rate for the current cycle, and with disinflation materializing, started to have room to begin cutting interest rates in the second half of the year. The US dollar continued its sideways trend as investors anticipated the Fed nearing the end of its rate hikes.
In the third quarter of 2023, progress on disinflation allowed many major economies, including the US, to pause their rate hiking campaigns. Nevertheless, resilience in economic activity and the labor market raised the prospect that central banks will keep rates higher for an extended period. Both the Fed and the ECB raised rates by 0.25%1 in July and the Bank of England raised rates in
August. The ECB hiked again in September and suggested this rate might be sufficient to guide inflation back to its target. The Fed and the Bank of England kept rates steady in September, but guided the market to anticipate an extended period of elevated rates. Divergence in monetary policy among EM central banks continued as some countries, including Poland, Brazil, Chile and Peru, began to cut rates over the quarter. Meanwhile, a few countries, including Thailand and Turkey, hiked rates during the quarter. In addition, China’s economy appeared to stabilize as the country’s central bank further eased its monetary policy. The US dollar gained 3.2% during the quarter,1 driven by surging Treasury yields. This momentum continued through October.
Compared to the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s interest rate and credit exposure contributed positively to relative Fund performance over the fiscal year, while foreign currency exposure detracted. The top contributors to relative Fund performance were interest rate positioning in Brazil and Colombia, and credit exposure in the United Kingdom, while the top detractors were positioning in the Argentinian peso, the Japanese yen, and the euro.
Going forward, our expectations for the medium to long term are that the global interest rate hiking cycle is behind us and that volatility in both developed and emerging sovereign bond markets will eventually decline. This gives investors the opportunity to potentially benefit from high nominal and real interest rates, particularly in EM sovereign bonds. We also anticipate that the US dollar could continue to weaken as the Fed reaches peak rates and begins to ease monetary policy over time. The difference between interest rate levels in DMs and EMs has in our view benefited EM currencies this fiscal year. A weaker dollar could allow foreign currencies to offer an additional source of return for investors.
Given the current under-owned nature of global fixed-income, we believe that the potential for a weaker US dollar going forward, along with the growth and interest rate differentials between domestic and international markets may be a catalyst for interest to return to the asset class. Importantly, individual country dynamics are reasserting themselves as various growth and inflation dynamics transpire across countries, offering greater differentiation among opportunities. We remain focused on extracting alpha as these dynamics unfold.
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. We believe derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to certain asset classes 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 fiscal year 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. 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 or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain investments held by the Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund. Note: The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.
Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% 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.

23 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund |
Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Foreign denominated security. Principal amount is denominated in the currency indicated. |
(b) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at October 31, 2023 was $592,588,500, which represented 37.88% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(c) | Security issued at a fixed rate for a specific period of time, after which it will convert to a variable rate. |
(d) | Perpetual bond with no specified maturity date. |
(e) | Zero coupon bond issued at a discount. |
(f) | All or a portion of this security was out on loan at October 31, 2023. |
(g) | Step coupon bond. The interest rate represents the coupon rate at which the bond will accrue at a specified future date. |
(h) | Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is in default with respect to principal and/or interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at October 31, 2023 was $1,571,412, which represented less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(i) | Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on October 31, 2023. |
(j) | Interest only security. Principal amount shown is the notional principal and does not reflect the maturity value of the security. Interest rate is redetermined periodically based on the cash flows generated by the pool of assets backing the security, less any applicable fees. The rate shown is the rate in effect on October 31, 2023. |
(k) | Interest rate is redetermined periodically based on the cash flows generated by the pool of assets backing the security, less any applicable fees. The rate shown is the rate in effect on October 31, 2023. |
(l) | Interest only security. Principal amount shown is the notional principal and does not reflect the maturity value of the security. |
(m) | Security valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 3. |
(n) | Security traded on a discount basis. The interest rate shown represents the discount rate at the time of purchase by the Fund. |
(o) | Principal amount of security and interest payments are adjusted for inflation. See Note 1J. |
(p) | All or a portion of the value was designated as collateral to cover margin requirements for swap agreements. See Note 1R. |
(q) | Non-income producing security. |
(r) | Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years. |
(s) | Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. |
(t) | Affiliated holding. Affiliated holdings are investments in entities which are under common ownership or control of Invesco Ltd. or are investments in entities in which the Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in affiliates for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. |

(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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. |

(a) | Centrally cleared swap agreements collateralized by $6,897,263 cash held with Counterparties. |
(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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. |

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, 2023
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Global Strategic 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary by the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to Regulation S securities primarily through investments in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in Regulation S securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.

The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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. | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis – The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
J. | Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities – The Fund may invest in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). TIPS are fixed income securities whose |
| | |
41 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund |
| 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. |
K. | 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.
L. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “affiliated money market funds”) and is shown as such on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, there were no securities lending transactions with the Adviser. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
M. | 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 the 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.
N. | 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
O. | 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 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 instrument or asset. 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 |
| | |
42 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund |
| 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. |
P. | 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.
Q. | 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 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.
R. | 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. 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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
| | |
43 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund |
buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
A total return swap is an agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income generated and capital gains, if any. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on total return swaps includes dividends on the underlying securities and financing rate payable from the Counterparty. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged where the total return is equivalent to the return of the underlying reference less a financing rate, if any. As a receiver, the Fund would receive payments based on any positive total return and would owe payments in the event of a negative total return. As the payer, the Fund would owe payments on any net positive total return, and would receive payment in the event of a negative total return.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, 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.
S. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions – The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement.
T. | LIBOR Transition Risk – The Fund may have investments in financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR was intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. The publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates ceased to be published after June 2023. The FCA will permit the use of synthetic USD LIBOR rates for non-U.S. contracts for a limited period of time after June 30, 2023, but any such rates would be considered non-representative of the underlying market. |
There remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law, among other limitations. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
U. | 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. |
V. | 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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
| | |
44 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund |
W. | Other Risks – The Fund is non-diversified and may invest in securities of fewer issuers than if it were diversified. Thus, the value of the Fund’s shares may vary more widely and the Fund may be subject to greater market and credit risk than if the Fund invested more broadly. |
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.
Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 $200 million | | | 0.750% | |
|
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.720% | |
|
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.690% | |
|
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.660% | |
|
| |
Next $200 million | | | 0.600% | |
|
| |
Next $4 billion | | | 0.500% | |
|
| |
Next $5 billion | | | 0.480% | |
|
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.460% | |
|
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.60%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
Effective July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed for an indefinite period, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.50%, 2.25%, 1.75%, 1.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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 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 boundary limits above. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $79,587.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 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 Plans 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the Plans are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.

45 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $47,254 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $740 and $2,064 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. 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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | | | | | Level 2 | | | | | | Level 3 | | | | | | Total | |

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $101,031.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | |
|

Return of capital | | | 16,587,982 | | | | | | | | 63,390,742 | |
|
| |
Total distributions | | $ | 80,890,888 | | | | | | | $ | 63,390,742 | |
|
| |
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
| | |

Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – investments | | $ | (175,189,568 | ) |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – foreign currencies | | | (583,144 | ) |
|
| |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (327,613 | ) |

|
| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 2,694,294,021 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,564,587,274 | |
|
| |
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 derivative instruments, straddles, partnerships and amortization and accretion on debt securities.
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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | | Long-Term | | | | Total |
|
|
Not subject to expiration | | $530,941,468 | | | | $422,664,954 | | | | $953,606,422 |
|
|
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $832,538,814 and $1,117,977,356, 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 | | $ | 93,849,558 | |
|
| |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (269,039,126 | ) |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $ | (175,189,568 | ) |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,647,300,759.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and return of capital distributions, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $18,644,758, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $37,254,941 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $18,610,183. 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 Strategic Income Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers, portfolio company investees and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers, portfolio company investees or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $977.90 | | $5.23 | | $1,019.91 | | $5.35 | | 1.05% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 970.80 | | 8.99 | | 1,016.08 | | 9.20 | | 1.81 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 973.50 | | 6.52 | | 1,018.60 | | 6.67 | | 1.31 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 975.80 | | 4.03 | | 1,021.12 | | 4.13 | | 0.81 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 976.40 | | 3.49 | | 1,021.68 | | 3.57 | | 0.70 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 976.10 | | 3.49 | | 1,021.68 | | 3.57 | | 0.70 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis, and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (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 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
| | |
53 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund |
the Fund was above the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee was in the fifth quintile of its expense group and discussed with management reasons for such relative contractual management fees. As previously noted, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management, including with respect the Fund’s contractual management fee schedule relative to peers. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, and subsequently with representatives of management.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared
with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed
and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the
| | |
54 | | Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund |
federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
Chinese equities were one of the weakest performing asset classes for the fiscal year, amidst a weaker-than-expected re-opening recovery following a strong start until February 2023. The Chinese market extended weakness throughout the second and third quarter, as the re-opening rally in the beginning of the first quarter succumbed to macro concerns. Investors were cautious amidst weaker-than-expected re-opening recovery, subdued consumption demands, as well as the rising competition concerns, especially from Douyin, a popular shorts streaming platform, on some sectors including e-commerce and local community life. Secto leadership concentrated in narrow themes, such as AI (artificial intelligence), SOE (state-owned enterprise) and selected EV (electric vehicle) opportunities.
We acknowledge that China macro head-winds are challenging and will stay for a while, including property weakness, weak exports, investment and domestic consumption, shrinking balance sheet and ongoing US-China tension. We believe much of these negative headlines may be well priced in to current valuation.
For the near term, recent economic data on retail, industrial and service sectors indicate a positive momentum of recovery. We anticipate the momentum to be sustained, with the help of the Chinese government’s support. To bolster the economy, the Chinese government has stepped up easing efforts across different areas such as relaxing major property measures to revive housing demand, introducing more special-item deduction for income taxes as well as further cutting RRR (reserve requirement ratio) rate. We anticipate these measures to contribute to a sustained recovery and favorable environment for economic growth.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, stock selection in the materials sector contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark. Zijin Mining Group, a large multinational mining group headquartered in China, was a top contributor to performance in this sector. Zijin Mining Group engages in the global exploration and development of copper, gold, zinc and lithium projects, as well as engineering and technological research. An underweight to the industrials sector also helped the Fund’s relative performance.
Stock selection and an underweight to the information technology sector also contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark during the fiscal year.
In contrast, stock selection in the consumer staples sector had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance relative to the style-specific benchmark. One of the top detractors to performance in this sector was Tingyi Holding which operates as an investment holding company through the following business segments: instant noodles and beverages. We exited our position in the holding at the end of the fiscal year. An underweight in the energy sector was also a detractor from performance relative to the style-specific benchmark.
Additionally stock selection and an underweight in the financials sector detracted from performance relative to the style-specific benchmark.

joint venture, Invesco Great Wall. He has a wealth of experience across risk management, industry research and investment management in China A-shares.
There is no change to the investment objective, strategy or process of the Fund as a result of these portfolio manager changes.
One of the key investment themes that we believe the Fund is well-positioned in is ‘reglobalization’. Through proprietary, fundamental research, we are aiming to identify Chinese companies that have capability and leadership position to expand globally and capture market shares in overseas markets. We held a constructive outlook as in our view leaders in various sectors, including consumer, internet, automotive and battery manufacturers have successfully ventured abroad while maintaining local presence in China. We believe the trajectory of global expansion for Chinese companies appears promising, as we anticipate that hundreds of enterprises will follow the footsteps of successful pioneers. We believe as economic growth in China moderates, stock picking would be key as we aim to identify companies with strong competitive edge, rising market share, solid balance sheet/cashflow and global expansion capabilities.
Thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Greater China Fund.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.

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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “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. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, fees paid to the Adviser were less than $500. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the 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 the date of valuation. Purchases |
| | |
15 | | Invesco Greater China Fund |
| 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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. | 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. |
Investments in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered to be the geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks and considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western nations, such as greater government control over the economy; political, legal and regulatory uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; lack of willingness or ability of the Chinese government to support the economies and markets of the Greater China region; difficulty in obtaining information necessary for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; lack of publicly available information; limited legal remedies for shareholders; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions; 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.
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. In addition, export growth continues to be a major driver of China’s rapid economic growth. As a result, a reduction in spending on Chinese products and services, the institution of tariffs, sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. The current political climate has intensified concerns about a potential trade war between China and the U.S., as each country has recently imposed tariffs on the other country’s products. Further, actions by the U.S. government, such as delisting of certain Chinese companies from U.S. securities exchanges or otherwise restricting their operations in the U.S., may negatively impact the value of such securities held by the Fund.
Certain securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China, such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions and suspensions, quota limitations and sudden changes in those limitations, and operational, clearing and settlement risks. Significant portions of the Chinese securities markets may become rapidly illiquid, as Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities, and have shown a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility and other events. The liquidity of Chinese securities may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions, whether or not accurate.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.870% | |
|
| |
Next $ 1 billion | | | 0.820% | |
|
| |
Next $49 billion | | | 0.770% | |
|
| |
Over $51 billion | | | 0.760% | |
|
| |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate 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).
Effective July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 2.25%, 3.00%, 2.50%, 2.00%, 2.00% and 2.00%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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
| | |
16 | | Invesco Greater China Fund |
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. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $3,332.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares, up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares, and up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $5,628 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $617 and $99 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

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

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $4,673.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | |
|
| |
Ordinary income* | | $ | 1,303,200 | | | | | | | $ | 100,072 | |
|
| |
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
|
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,152,706 | |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – investments | | | (1,569,897 | ) |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – foreign currencies | | | (24,485 | ) |
|
| |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (78,964 | ) |
|
| |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (28,976,109 | ) |
|
| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 93,591,077 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 64,094,328 | |
|
| |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and distributions.
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.
| | |
18 | | Invesco Greater China Fund |
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
|
|
Expiration | | | | Short-Term | | | | Long-Term | | | | Total |
|
|
Not subject to expiration | | | | $14,547,589 | | | | $14,428,520 | | | | $28,976,109 |
|
|
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $68,888,680 and $79,309,612, 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 | | $ | 4,559,776 | |
|
| |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (6,129,673 | ) |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $ | (1,569,897 | ) |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $66,423,505.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of distributions, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was increased by $415,157 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $415,157. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings (loss) 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 Greater China Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Greater China Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.

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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $876.10 | | $8.04 | | $1,016.64 | | $8.64 | | 1.70% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 873.00 | | 11.14 | | 1,013.31 | | 11.98 | | 2.36 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 875.40 | | 9.22 | | 1,015.38 | | 9.91 | | 1.95 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 877.40 | | 6.86 | | 1,017.90 | | 7.38 | | 1.45 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 877.90 | | 5.63 | | 1,019.21 | | 6.06 | | 1.19 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 877.90 | | 5.82 | | 1,019.00 | | 6.26 | | 1.23 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Greater China Fund’s (the Fund) 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy
and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the MSCI China All Shares Index (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 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 Board considered that overweight allocation to
| | |
22 | | Invesco Greater China Fund |
certain Chinese companies and stock selection within the Chinese healthcare sector were the primary detractors from Fund performance. The Board further considered that the Fund’s value bias can result in underperformance during markets that favor growth companies. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund below the median contractual management fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee schedule was reduced at certain breakpoint levels effective 2021. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including
information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a
| | |
23 | | Invesco Greater China Fund |
summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
At the start of the fiscal year, US equity markets rebounded, despite mixed data on the economy and corporate earnings. However, the US Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) message that rate hikes would continue until data showed inflation meaningfully declining, sent markets lower in December 2022. As energy prices declined, the rate of inflation slowed modestly in the fourth quarter of 2022. Corporate earnings generally met expectations, though companies provided cautious future guidance. With inflation still at multi-decade highs and little evidence of a slowing economy, the Fed raised its target rate by 0.75% in November and by 0.50% in December.1
US equities managed to deliver gains in the first quarter of 2023 despite significant volatility and a banking crisis. A January rally gave way to a February selloff as higher-than-expected inflation, a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicated that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future, raising the risk of a deeper than expected recession. In March, the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread sent investors to safe-haven assets, sparking a bond rally, particularly among securities at the short end of the yield curve. With instability in the banking sector, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by only 0.25% in February 2023 and again in March.1 The Fed’s actions to stabilize the banking system in March sent markets higher, so equities were surprisingly resilient despite the turmoil.
The US economy and equity markets remained resilient in the second quarter of 2023, as milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings supported
equities, with most major indexes posting gains for the quarter and with some big tech names providing optimistic future guidance. Following the March banking crisis, markets stabilized in April, as corporate earnings season got underway, with many companies surprising consensus earnings and revenue estimates. Facing persistently strong employment data, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 0.25% at its May meeting,1 but left rates unchanged at its June meeting, giving investors the long-awaited “pause” in rate hikes, which sent equities broadly higher.
Equity markets declined in the third quarter and into October 2023 as a resilient US economy complicated the Fed’s efforts to tame inflation. While inflation has slowed from its peak, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2% in July, and the 12-month headline inflation rate rose to 3.2% from 3% in June.2 Due to the persistence of inflation, the Fed raised the federal funds rate again in July by 0.25%. The CPI data released in September was higher-than-expected and the overall US labor market remained tight with unemployment near historic lows. At the same time, wages rose and consumers continued to spend, pushing the third quarter year-over-year Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 4.9%, far above expectations.2 Despite the higher-than-expected GDP for the third quarter of 2023, the Fed held interest rates steady at its September and October meetings, but left open the possibility of another rate hike before the end of the calendar year.1
Despite higher rates and increased market volatility, US stocks for the fiscal year had positive returns of 10.69%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.3
During the fiscal year, the Fund’s Class A shares at NAV outperformed the S&P Composite 1500 Health Care Index. Outperformance was mainly attributed to stronger stock selection in pharmaceuticals. This was
partially offset by weaker stock selection and an underweight allocation as of fiscal year end to health care equipment and an underweight allocation to managed care.
At the stock level, the top three individual contributors to absolute Fund performance during the fiscal year were Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
Eli Lilly is a large cap pharmaceutical company that makes drugs to treat Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes, obesity, pain and autoimmune diseases. During the second quarter of 2023, the stock price rose after management raised its earnings and revenue guidance despite reporting revenues and earnings that fell short of analyst expectations. The company also announced positive clinical trial results for its early-stage Alzheimer’s drug and its diabetes drug. During the third quarter of 2023, the company reported better-than-expected sales of its GLP-1 diabetes treatment Mounjaro. The stock also benefited from positive clinical headlines related to Novo Nordisk’s obesity treatment Wegovy.
Novo Nordisk makes treatments for diabetes, obesity, rare blood disorders, endocrinology and hormone replacement. In late 2022, the company reported better-than-expected sales in diabetes and obesity treatments and raised earnings guidance. The stock also rose on positive Phase III data from its PIONEER PLUS clinical trial to treat Type 2 Diabetes and from positive results from its SELECT study regarding its weight-loss drug Wegovy.
Vertex makes drugs to treat cystic fibrosis, infectious diseases, viral infections, bacterial infections, flu, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, neurological disorders, and multiple sclerosis. The stock rose as management expressed confidence in its 2023 guidance led by its cystic fibrosis franchise and as it expects its pipeline to generate five new product launches over the next five years.
At the stock level, the top three individual detractors from absolute Fund performance during the fiscal year were DexCom, Elevance and Humana.
DexCom makes wearable continuous glucose monitors used to treat diabetes. The company reported better-than-expected results and raised its earnings guidance. The stock declined in response to better-than-expected sales of GLP-1 obesity drugs, which pressured stocks of companies that treat diabetes.
Elevance provides managed care and prescription benefit services for government and commercial sectors. The stock declined on investor concerns regarding pressure on Medicare Advantage margins driven by higher supplemental benefit utilization.
Humana provides health insurance and prescription drug services, including Medicare and Medicaid health coverage. The stock declined on investor concerns regarding higher

medical costs driven by higher elective procedure volume within the Medicare Advantage channel.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y, Investor Class and Class R6. 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used.

14 | | Invesco Health Care Fund |
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “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. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Adviser $2,999 in fees for securities lending agent services. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the 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. |
| | |
15 | | Invesco Health Care Fund |
| Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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. | Other Risks - The Fund’s performance is vulnerable to factors affecting the health care sector, including significant government regulations, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products, services and facilities, pricing pressure, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, a limited number of products, industry innovation, costs associated with obtaining and protecting patents, product liability and other claims, changes in technologies and other market developments. |
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.750% | |
|
| |
Next $350 million | | | 0.650% | |
|
| |
Next $1.3 billion | | | 0.550% | |
|
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.450% | |
|
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.400% | |
|
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.375% | |
|
| |
Over $8 billion | | | 0.350% | |
|
| |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.63%.
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 July 1, 2023, the Adviser has agreed, for an indefinite period, 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 Y, Investor Class and Class R6 shares to 2.00%, 2.75%, 1.75%, 2.00% and 1.75%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “boundary limits”). Prior to July 1, 2023, the same boundary limits were in effect with an expiration date of June 30, 2023. 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. Invesco may amend and/or terminate these boundary limits at any time in its sole discretion and will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under these boundary limits.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $45,068.
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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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
| | |
16 | | Invesco Health Care Fund |
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, 2023, 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 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 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 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $50,905 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,097 and $799 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed upon redemptions by shareholders.
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund incurred $63,978 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $43,625.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Shares of beneficial interest | | | 911,476,186 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,185,453,682 | |
|
| |
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. 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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | Long-Term | | Total |
|
|
Not subject to expiration | | $4,206,451 | | $– | | $4,206,451 |
|
|
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $751,968,508 and $875,699,148, 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 | | | $321,130,266 | |

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (42,070,886 | ) |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | | $279,059,380 | |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $954,204,358.
NOTE 9–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses and foreign currency transactions, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $447,704, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $149,728 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $597,432. 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 Health Care Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Health Care Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $918.40 | | $5.03 | | $1,019.96 | | $5.30 | | 1.04% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 914.70 | | 8.64 | | 1,016.18 | | 9.10 | | 1.79 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 919.80 | | 3.82 | | 1,021.22 | | 4.02 | | 0.79 |

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Health Care Fund’s (the Fund) 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy
and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the S&P Composite 1500® Health Care Index (Index). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund underwent a portfolio management change in
| | |
22 | | Invesco Health Care Fund |
November 2021, and that performance results prior to such date were those of the prior portfolio management team. The Board also considered that stock selection in certain health care sub-sectors detracted from longer-term Fund performance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components. The Board noted that there were only five funds (including the Fund) in the expense group.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the
performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and
| | |
23 | | Invesco Health Care Fund |
the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, volatility remained elevated in global fixed-income markets for much of the year as investor concerns vacillated between growth and inflation. Uncertainty on the path of the US Federal Reserve (the Fed), which has a global impact, kept markets guessing whether the prospect of continued strong growth would lead to higher interest rates, potentially for longer, or the prospect of imminent recession would unfold due to monetary tightening at a pace and scale not seen in the past two decades. While inflation data surprised to the upside in the first half of the fiscal year, growth data largely did so throughout the year, leading developed market (DM) central banks, particularly the Fed, to raise policy rates throughout the fiscal year. As disinflation unfolded in emerging markets (EM), uncertainty on the path of the Fed generated questions on the degree to which EM central banks would need to continue hiking or remain at elevated rates, despite their earlier start to monetary policy tightening. As disinflation commenced in DMs, especially the US, and continued in EMs, this concern abated, and EM central banks began to cut interest rates.
Towards the end of 2022, bond markets finished a volatile year with gains in the last few months spurred by slowing US inflation, hints from the Fed that future interest rate hikes would be scaled back, and China’s relaxation of its stringent zero COVID-19 policy. DM central banks, including the Fed, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England, continued to hike rates in an effort to combat persistent inflation, yet central banks within EMs began to slow or pause their hiking cycles. Despite the headwinds of
aggressive monetary policy tightening throughout 2022, the global economy showed strength in the first quarter of 2023 as China reopened and Europe experienced a mild winter. However, stress in the banking sector erupted in March, raising recession fears and tempering investors’ sentiment toward risk. Fortunately, these issues did not appear to be systemic, and policymakers’ swift response helped to calm markets. Major DM central banks continued to raise interest rates, albeit at a slower pace. The Fed and Bank of England raised their policy rates by 0.50%, while the ECB hiked by 1.00%.1 Select central banks in EMs also raised rates during the quarter, but most appeared to be at or near the end of their hiking cycles. As a result of changing expectations for relative growth and monetary policy, the US dollar weakened during the quarter, declining 1.1%.1
The second quarter of 2023 saw a decrease in market volatility as the threat of an imminent US recession receded amid better-than-expected economic data. Inflation generally eased in DMs, largely driven by moderation in the goods component. However, core inflation remained more stubborn, leading most developed central banks to continue their monetary tightening. The ECB and Bank of England each raised their policy rate by 0.50%.1 The Fed raised its rate by 0.25%1 in May before pausing in June and then signaling that rates may remain elevated for some time. Most central banks in EMs reached their terminal rate for the current cycle, and with disinflation materializing, started to have room to begin cutting interest rates in the second half of the fiscal year. The US dollar continued its sideways trend as investors anticipated the Fed nearing the end of its rate hikes.
In the third quarter of 2023, progress on disinflation allowed many major economies, including the US, to pause their rate hiking campaigns. Nevertheless, resilience in economic activity and the labor market raised the prospect that central banks will keep rates higher for an extended period. Both the Fed and the ECB raised rates by 0.25%1 in July and the Bank of England raised rates in August. The ECB hiked again in September and suggested this rate might be sufficient to guide inflation back to its target. The Fed and the Bank of England kept rates steady in September, but guided the market to anticipate an extended period of elevated rates. Divergence in monetary policy among EM central banks continued as some countries, including Poland, Brazil, Chile and Peru, began to cut rates over the quarter. Meanwhile, a few countries, including Thailand and Turkey, hiked rates during the quarter. In addition, China’s economy appeared to stabilize as the country’s central bank further eased its monetary policy. The US dollar gained 3.2% during the quarter,1 driven by surging Treasury yields. This momentum continued through October.
Compared to the Custom Invesco International Bond Index, the Fund’s interest rate and credit exposure contributed positively to relative Fund performance over the fiscal year, while foreign currency exposure detracted. The top contributors to relative Fund performance were interest rate positioning in Brazil and Colombia, and overall yield curve positioning, while the top detractors were positioning in the Argentinian peso, the Japanese yen, and the euro.
Going forward, our expectations for the medium to long term are that the global interest rate hiking cycle is behind us and that volatility in both developed and emerging sovereign bond markets will eventually decline. This gives investors the opportunity to potentially benefit from high nominal and real interest rates, particularly in EM sovereign bonds. We also anticipate that the US dollar could continue to weaken as the Fed reaches peak rates and begins to ease monetary policy over time. The difference between interest rate levels in DMs and EMs has in our view benefited EM currencies this fiscal year. A weaker dollar could allow foreign currencies to offer an additional source of return for investors.
Given the current under-owned nature of international fixed-income, we believe that the potential for a weaker US dollar going forward, along with the growth and interest rate differentials between domestic and international markets may be a catalyst for interest to return to the asset class. Importantly, individual country dynamics are reasserting themselves as various growth and inflation dynamics transpire across countries, offering greater differentiation among opportunities. We remain focused on extracting alpha as these dynamics unfold.

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. We believe derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to certain asset classes 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 fiscal year 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. 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 or fall faster than expected, markets may experience increased volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain investments held by the Fund.

Effective May 24, 2019, Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the Oppenheimer International Bond Fund, (the predecessor fund), were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund. Note: The Fund was subsequently renamed the Invesco International Bond Fund (the Fund). Returns shown above, for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019, for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares are those for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance shown on and prior to that date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction
of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% 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.

(a) | Over-The-Counter options purchased, options written and swap agreements are collateralized by cash held with Counterparties in the amount of $45,184,000. |
(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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. |

(a) | Over-The-Counter options purchased, options written and swap agreements are collateralized by cash held with Counterparties in the amount of $45,184,000. |
(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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. |

(a) | Centrally cleared swap agreements collateralized by $51,521,869 cash held with Counterparties. |
(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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. |

(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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, 2023
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco International 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these consolidated financial statements pertains only to the Fund and the Invesco International Bond Fund (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary by the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund will seek to gain exposure to Regulation S securities primarily through investments in the Susbsidiary. The Subsidiary was organized by the Fund to invest in Regulation S securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return.
The Fund currently consists of six different classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6. Class Y shares are available only to certain investors. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge unless certain waiver criteria are met. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.

30 | | Invesco International Bond Fund |
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 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 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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 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 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 Consolidated 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. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “affiliated money market funds”) and is shown as such on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, there were no securities lending transactions with the Adviser. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
L. | 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 the 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.
M. | 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
N. | 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 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 instrument or asset. 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. |
O. | 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.
| | |
32 | | Invesco International Bond Fund |
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.
P. | 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 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.
Q. | 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. 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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 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
| | |
33 | | Invesco International Bond Fund |
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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, 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.
R. | LIBOR Transition Risk – The Fund may have investments in financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR was intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. The publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates ceased to be published after June 2023. The FCA will permit the use of synthetic USD LIBOR rates for non-U.S. contracts for a limited period of time after June 30, 2023, but any such rates would be considered non-representative of the underlying market. |
There remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law, among other limitations. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
S. | 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. |
T. | 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. |
U. | Other Risks – Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
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.
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.

|
| |
Over $15 billion | | | 0.450% | |
|
| |
* | The advisory fee paid by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.62%.
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 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). Invesco has also entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. to provide discretionary management services to the Fund.
Effective March 1, 2023, through at least February 28, 2025, the Adviser has 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 1.04%, 1.79%, 1.29%, 0.79%, 0.79%, and 0.79%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to March 1, 2023, 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 1.01%, 1.76%, 1.26%, 0.76%, 0.76%, and 0.76%, 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 waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expenses 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 February 28, 2025. 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, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $61,092 and reimbursed class level expenses of $488,216, $19,540, $47,670, $551,809, $310 and $0 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $14,659 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $194 and $(608) 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $34,157.
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 SSB, 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.

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 amortization and accretion on debt securities, derivative instruments and straddles.
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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* |
|
|
Expiration | | Short-Term | | Long-Term | | Total |
|
|
Not subject to expiration | | $200,602,146 | | $51,168,234 | | $251,770,380 |
|
|
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $815,192,051 and $1,046,519,972, 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.

NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and return of capital distributions, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $16,058,525, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $63,102,159 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $47,043,634. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) and Shareholders of Invesco International Bond Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco International Bond Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $982.00 | | $5.10 | | $1,020.06 | | $5.19 | | 1.02% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 978.10 | | 8.87 | | 1,016.23 | | 9.05 | | 1.78 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 980.60 | | 6.39 | | 1,018.75 | | 6.51 | | 1.28 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 983.20 | | 3.90 | | 1,021.27 | | 3.97 | | 0.78 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 983.30 | | 3.90 | | 1,021.27 | | 3.97 | | 0.78 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 983.60 | | 3.70 | | 1,021.48 | | 3.77 | | 0.74 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco International Bond Fund’s (the Fund) 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 Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts) for another year, effective July 1, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis, and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco International Bond Index (Index). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the third quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was above the performance of the Index for
| | |
43 | | Invesco International Bond Fund |
the one, three and five year periods. The Board considered that the Fund was created in connection with Invesco Ltd.’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Transaction”) and that the Fund’s performance prior to the closing of the Transaction on May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class A shares of the Fund was reasonably comparable to 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted
that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending
cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund at NAV underperformed its benchmark as two of the major asset classes in which the Fund invests (commodities and sovereign debt) detracted from results, while the global equity market index exposure contributed to Fund performance. The Fund invests in derivatives, primarily exchanged-traded futures and swaps, which are expected to correspond to the performance of US and international equity, fixed-income and commodity markets. The portfolio operates on two components that fulfill specific roles for the total portfolio; 1) an adaptive positioning component that seeks to capitalize on market trends by investing long and short across a diversified mix of liquid assets, and 2) a diversified defense component that is designed to exhibit low correlation to broad capital markets and with that provide a level of defense to the strategy.
The adaptive positioning component generated a negative result for the Fund for the fiscal year. The exposures to commodities and sovereign debt detracted from results, while the global equity market index exposure contributed to absolute Fund performance. This result is consistent with how the Fund was positioned throughout the fiscal year, with the net long exposure to energy commodities detracting the most over the fiscal year, followed by the net short exposure to precious metals and mixed results from long/short exposure across sovereign debt markets.
The diversified defense module introduces dedicated defensive assets and strategies to the total portfolio. This module is made up of four parts that exhibit defensive characteristics: 1) dedicated long exposure to high quality sovereign debt; 2) long equity put option strategies; 3) defensive equity factor premia
(momentum, low volatility, quality), and 4) optimal roll (in our view) of select commodities. These four components are combined into an aggregate diversified defense module using a risk-balanced framework. This component delivered negative absolute performance for the fiscal year as long-only exposure to long-duration sovereign debt and long put options on US large-cap equities offset positive results from favorable contract selection in commodities.
The Fund’s exposure to global equity market indices contributed to absolute results, with Japanese and European equities performing the best, and Canadian and US small-cap equities performing the worst. Japanese equities were the top contributor to results as the Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintained its looser monetary policy relative to the rest of the developed world over the majority of the fiscal year. Exposure to European equities also provided gains on the back of easing inflation across the region and improved economic growth data. Canadian and US small-cap equities were both weighed down by rising interest rates over the fiscal year.
The Fund’s exposure to sovereign debt was a mild detractor from absolute results, primarily due to long exposure to Australian government bonds outweighing the positive results from positioning across the other markets. Bonds broadly declined over the fiscal year due to a combination of elevated inflation readings and aggressive actions by central banks. Australian government bonds were the top detractor due to continued rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of Australia amid slowing economic growth. The only market to benefit from long exposure for the fiscal year was Japanese government bonds, which posted gains as a result of the BoJ’s more accommodative monetary policy stance. Select short positions across the
other markets – Germany, the UK and the US – were rewarded over the fiscal year amid the rising interest rate environment.
The Fund’s exposure to commodities was the top detractor from absolute results due to negative results from net long exposure to energy and net short exposure to precious metals. Energy prices plunged in the first half of 2023, largely due to recession concerns and a disappointing recovery of the Chinese economy. Precious metals rose largely as a result of safe haven demand and rising geopolitical tensions from the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023. Strong central bank demand for gold also helped support gold prices during the fiscal year. Positioning in agriculture was the sole bright spot within the asset class, largely due to a long position in sugar and short exposure to wheat. Sugar prices rose throughout the fiscal year due to tight supplies, while wheat prices plunged due to larger-than-expected harvests in Russia and the US.
Of the four components of the diversified defense module, all but the commodity optimal roll strategy detracted from absolute results. The long-only exposure to sovereign debt detracted the most from results due to the asset class’ high sensitivity to interest rate moves, followed by the long-put exposure and defensive equity factor premia.
Please note that our strategy is principally implemented with derivative instruments that include futures, options 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.

Fund and index data from 10/31/13
1 Source: Lipper Inc.
2 Source: RIMES Technologies Corp.
*The Fund’s oldest share class (Class Y) does not have a sales charge; therefore, the second-oldest share classes with a sales charge (Class A and Class C) are also included in the chart.
Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
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 does not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares.

On August 28, 2013, Class H1 shares converted to Class Y shares.
Class A, Class C and Class R shares incepted on August 28, 2013. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Class Y shares at net asset value, restated to reflect the higher 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares.
Class R5 shares and Class R6 shares incepted on August 28, 2013. Performance shown prior to that date is that of Class Y shares at net asset value.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board-approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally and market liquidity. Because of the
| | |
19 | | Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund |
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 price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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. | Foreign Withholding Taxes – The Fund is subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Fund may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to seek to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history. Any receivables recorded will be shown under receivables for Foreign withholding tax claims on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will receive refunds applied for in a timely manner or at all. |
As a result of recent court rulings in certain countries across the European Union, tax refunds for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries have been received by investment companies. Any tax refund payments are reflected as Foreign withholding tax claims in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and any related interest is included in Interest income. The Fund may incur fees paid to third party providers that assist in the recovery of the tax reclaims. These fees are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Professional services fees, if any. In the event tax refunds received by the Fund during the fiscal year exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Fund for the year, and the Fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, the Fund intends to enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in order to pay the associated liability on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund did not enter into any closing agreements.
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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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 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.
I. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, and under the Subsidiary’s |
| | |
20 | | Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund |
| 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. |
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. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “affiliated money market funds”) and is shown as such on the Consolidated 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 affiliates on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan, if any, is shown as a footnote on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Adviser $1,099 in fees for securities lending agent services. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliates on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
L. | 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 the 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.
M. | 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
N. | 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 instrument or asset. 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 |
| | |
21 | | Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund |
| 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. For settlement of LME commodity futures contracts, cash is not transferred until the settled futures contracts expire. Net realized gains or losses on LME contracts which have been closed out but for which the contract has not yet expired are reflected as a receivable or payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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. |
O. | 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.
P. | 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. |
Q. | 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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.

22 | | Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy 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. | 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. |
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 1.100% | |
Next $250 million | | | 1.080% | |
Next $500 million | | | 1.050% | |
Next $1.5 billion | | | 1.030% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 1.000% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.980% | |
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0.950% | |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.930% | |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 1.10%.
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 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, 2025, 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 the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. 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, 2025. 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, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $227,262 and reimbursed class level expenses of $1,671, $230, $158, $4,630, $2 and $44,636 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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
| | |
23 | | Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund |
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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $230 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $0 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $251.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:

|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 149,470,382 | |
|
| |
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 derivative instruments and subsidiary differences.
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.

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, derivative instruments and income from the subsidiary, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $975,419, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $1,898,997 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $923,578. 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 Macro Allocation Strategy Fund
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund and its subsidiary (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”)as of October 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $996.00 | | $6.99 | | $1,018.20 | | $7.07 | | 1.39% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 991.80 | | 10.74 | | 1,014.42 | | 10.87 | | 2.14 |
Class R | | 1,000.00 | | 993.30 | | 8.24 | | 1,016.94 | | 8.34 | | 1.64 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 996.00 | | 5.74 | | 1,019.46 | | 5.80 | | 1.14 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 997.30 | | 5.54 | | 1,019.66 | | 5.60 | | 1.10 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 996.00 | | 5.74 | | 1,019.46 | | 5.80 | | 1.14 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund’s (the Fund) 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 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg US Treasury Bellwethers 3 Month Index (Index). The Board noted that performance of Class Y shares of the Fund was in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one year period and the fifth quintile for the three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class Y shares
| | |
30 | | Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund |
of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and/or investment restrictions and those of its performance peer funds. The Board considered that the Fund’s tactical allocation negatively impacted Fund performance in periods of short-term volatility, and that the Fund’s defensive positioning did not perform as expected given the rising interest rate environment. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. The Board noted that the contractual management fee rate for Class Y shares of the Fund was the same as 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 considered the fees charged by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to other client accounts that are similarly managed. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board differences in the scope of services it provides to the Invesco Funds relative to that provided by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates to certain other types of client accounts, including, among others: management of cash flows as a result of redemptions and purchases; necessary infrastructure such as officers, office space, technology, legal and distribution; oversight of service providers; costs and business risks associated with launching new funds and sponsoring and maintaining the product line; and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Invesco Advisers also advised the Board that many of the similarly managed client accounts have all-inclusive fee structures, which are not easily un-bundled.
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.
D. Economies of Scale and Breakpoints
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the
performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for
| | |
31 | | Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund |
executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund at NAV reported positive absolute performance.
The beginning of the fiscal year was headlined by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) continuing its rapid tightening of monetary policy in an effort to combat inflation via higher interest rates, while simultaneously engineering a soft landing so as to not push the economy into a recession. The Fed aggressively raised its federal funds rate at the beginning of the fiscal year: a 0.75% hike in November 2022, its largest hike since 1994, a 0.50% hike in December and a 0.25% hike in January, to a target federal funds rate of 4.50% to 4.75%.1
Risky assets managed to deliver gains in the first quarter of 2023 despite a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicating that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future. In March, significant volatility plagued both equity and bond markets as the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread pushed overall corporate spread premiums wider over the fiscal year. However, these issues did not seem to be systemic as policymakers responded swiftly, which calmed markets. The Fed, aiming to further stabilize markets, continued course with their hawkish policy with two 0.25% hikes in March and May to a target federal funds rate from 5.00% to 5.25%. Markets stabilized due to milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings.
Through the second quarter of 2023, global economic growth remained resilient but bifurcated as emerging markets and Asian
economies showed robust growth while developed western economies had sluggish yet positive growth. US labor markets maintained momentum with unemployment still at historic lows despite a slight uptick at the end of May. Inflation generally eased in developed economies, largely driven by moderation in the goods component of inflation. However, core inflation remained more stubborn and led to developed central banks to continue tightening, showcased by another 0.25% hike by the Fed in July, bringing the target rate from 5.25% to 5.50%, its highest level since June 2006.1 While rates remained elevated across all maturities on the yield curve, the two-year Treasury rates increased from 3.45% to 4.85% during the fiscal year, while 10-year Treasury rates increased from 3.53% to 4.48%.2
At the end of the fiscal year, the yield curve remained inverted and despite higher rates and increased market volatility, US stocks had positive returns of 10.69%, as measured by the S&P 500 Index.3 Additionally, in August, US debt was downgraded by the Fitch credit rating agency from AAA to AA† on the premise of expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years.4
The strategic allocation delivered strong results for the fiscal year due primarily to gains in equity. Equity exposure is gained through the use of equity-linked notes (ELNs). Technology was the top performing sector due to investor optimism around artificial intelligence (AI). Cyclical sectors like telecommunications, industrials and consumer discretionary also posted gains in line with the direction of broad equity markets. Exposure to more defensive sectors like utilities, financials, consumer staples and REITs detracted from performance. US preferred shares were the worst performing asset in the bunch due
to their sensitivity to interest rate movements.
In aggregate, strategic exposure to fixed-income detracted from results due to losses in US 30-Year Treasuries. This is in line with the prevailing market environment of aggressive interest rate hikes, which in turn puts downward pressure on prices for fixed-income securities. Generally, the higher the duration the higher the sensitivity of the security to rate increases. Emerging market debt and US high yield contributed to results amid resilient economic growth.
The Fund’s tactical positioning, expressed through the use of exchange-traded futures, was negative for the fiscal year. In general, the portfolio’s short bond positions produced a contribution, but this performance was not enough to offset the detraction from equities, which struggled with frequent and continuous change in tactical signals.
Please note that our strategy utilizes derivative instruments that include futures. Therefore, some of the Fund’s 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.

Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
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.

(a) | Swaps are collateralized by $116,095 cash held with Merrill Lynch International, the Counterparty. |
(b) | Implied credit spreads represent the current level, as of October 31, 2023, 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. |

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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board- approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund

36 | | Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund |
securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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. | Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund invests in MLPs engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production and mining of minerals and natural resources. The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. |
MLP’s may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
G. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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. | Equity-Linked Notes – The Fund may invest in Equity-Linked Notes (ELNs). ELNs are hybrid derivative-type instruments, in a single note form, that are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more reference securities (such as a single stock, an exchange traded fund, exchange-traded note, or an index or basket of securities (underlying securities)) and a related equity derivative, such as a put or call option. Generally, when purchasing an ELN, the Fund pays the counterparty the current value of the underlying securities plus a commission. Upon the maturity of the note, the Fund generally receives the par value of the note plus a return based on the appreciation of the underlying securities. Investments in ELNs possess the risks associated with the underlying securities, such as management risk, market risk and, as applicable, foreign securities and currency risks. In addition, as a note, ELNs are also subject to certain debt securities |
| | |
37 | | Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund |
| risks, such as interest rate and credit risk. An investment in an ELN also bears the risk that the ELN issuer will default or become bankrupt. In such an event, the Fund may have difficulty being repaid, or fail to be repaid, the principal amount of, or income from, its investment. As the holder of an ELN, the Fund generally has no rights to the underlying securities, including no voting rights or rights to receive dividends. Should the prices of the underlying securities move in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of its ELN investments, and it may realize losses, which could be significant and could include the Fund’s entire principal investment. |
K. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “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. |
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund paid the Adviser $8,189 in fees for securities lending agent services. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliated money market funds on the Statement of Operations.
L. | 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 the 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.
M. | 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 exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
N. | 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 instrument or asset. 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. |
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 |
| | |
38 | | Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund |
| 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any. |
Interest rate, total return, index, and currency swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.
In a centrally cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate Counterparty is a central clearinghouse. The Fund initially will enter into centrally cleared swaps through an executing broker. When a fund enters into a centrally cleared swap, it must deliver to the central Counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central Counterparty, but an FCM may require additional initial margin above the amount required by the central Counterparty. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into centrally cleared swaps are satisfied by cash or securities as collateral at the FCM. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the term of a cleared swap agreement, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund, based on the daily change in price of the underlying reference instrument subject to the swap agreement and is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities until the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded.
A CDS is an agreement between Counterparties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, 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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
R. | Other Risks – 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. |
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.

Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 | | | 0.500% | |
|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.450% | |
|
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.400% | |
|
| |
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0.390% | |
|
| |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.46%.
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 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 March 1, 2023, through at least February 28, 2025, the Adviser has 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 reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.90%, 1.65%, 1.15%, 0.65%, 0.65% and 0.65%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Prior to March 1, 2023, 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 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%, 0.60% and 0.60%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, 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, 2025. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $205,960 and reimbursed class level expenses of $239,891, $22,829, $6,703, $45,606, $9 and $0 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 Class A Plan, reimburses IDI for its allocated share of expenses incurred for the period, up to a maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. The Fund, pursuant to the Class C and Class R Plans, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 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 Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $70,890 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $811 and $1,992 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 Invesco.
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. 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. |
| | |
40 | | Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund |
| | |
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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

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

NOTE 5–Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of transfer agency credits which result from balances in demand deposit accounts used by the transfer agent for clearing shareholder transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $57,483.
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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | | | | 2022 | |
|
| |
Ordinary income* | | $ | 79,497,966 | | | | | | | $ | 90,062,627 | |
|
| |
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
|
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 411,166 | |
|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – investments | | | (184,247,463 | ) |
|

Capital loss carryforward | | | (626,254,208 | ) |
|
| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 1,861,772,435 | |
|
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 1,050,858,981 | |
|
| |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and amortization and accretion on debt securities.
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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |

|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $317,372,095 and $286,960,068, 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 | | | $ 10,438,355 | |

|
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | | $(184,247,463 | ) |
|
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,315,266,766.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and amortization and accretion on debt securities, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,142,112 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $1,142,112. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets or the distributable earnings (loss) 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 Multi-Asset Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| | Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2, 3 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2, 4 | | Annualized Expense Ratio2 |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $962.80 | | $4.25 | | $1,020.87 | | $4.38 | | 0.86% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 960.30 | | 8.05 | | 1,016.99 | | 8.29 | | 1.63 |

Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 965.30 | | 3.12 | | 1,022.03 | | 3.21 | | 0.63 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 964.10 | | 3.96 | | 1,021.17 | | 4.08 | | 0.80 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 965.80 | | 2.68 | | 1,022.48 | | 2.75 | | 0.54 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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 | Effective March 1, 2023, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.90%, 1.65%, 1.15%, 0.65%, 0.65% and 0.65% of average daily net assets, respectively. The annualized expense ratios restated as if these agreements had been in effect throughout the entire most recent fiscal half year are 0.86%, 1.63%, 1.13%, 0.63%, 0.60% and 0.53% for of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
3 | The actual expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent half year are $4.43, $8.38, $5.82, $3.25, $3.09 and $2.73 for of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |
4 | The hypothetical expenses paid restated as if the changes discussed above had been in effect throughout the entire most recent half year are $4.31, $8.15, $5.66, $3.16, $3.01 and $2.66 for Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares, respectively. |

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund’s (the Fund) 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 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior
Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a
description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 Capital Management LLC currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s investment performance over multiple time periods ending December 31, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Custom Invesco Multi-Asset Income Index (Index). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one, three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). The Board noted that performance of Class A shares of the Fund was below the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board
| | |
47 | | Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund |
acknowledged limitations regarding the Broadridge data, in particular that differences may exist between a Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and/or investment restrictions and those of its performance peer funds. The Board considered how the Fund’s strategy is implemented using a multi-sleeve structure and discussed how each sleeve impacted Fund performance, noting that overweight exposure to U.S. master limited partnerships and equity real estate investment trusts at the outset of the COVID-10 pandemic has driven long-term underperformance. The Board further considered that the Fund’s rate and credit beta in the emerging and investment grade markets, as well as its tactical positioning during a time of elevated short-term volatility, also led to short-term underperformance. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the
extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the
Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 from Invesco Advisers periodic reports that include a representation to the effect 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending

activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.
The Board also received information about commissions that an affiliated broker may receive for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers advised the Board of the benefits to the Fund of executing trades through the affiliated broker and that such trades were executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Market conditions and your Fund
The beginning of the fiscal year was headlined by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) continuing its rapid tightening of monetary policy in an effort to combat inflation via higher interest rates, while simultaneously engineering a soft landing so as to not push the economy into a recession. The Fed aggressively raised its federal funds rate at the beginning of the fiscal year: a 0.75% hike in November 2022, its largest hike since 1994, a 0.50% hike in December and a 0.25% hike in January, to a target federal funds rate of 4.50% to 4.75%.1
A January 2023 rally gave way to a February selloff as higher-than-expected inflation, a tight labor market and solid economic growth indicated that the Fed’s monetary policy would remain tight for the foreseeable future, raising the risk of a deeper than expected recession. In March, significant volatility plagued fixed income markets as the failure of two US regional banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted steep losses in the banking sector. The subsequent takeover of Credit Suisse and ongoing fear that bank troubles would spread pushed overall corporate spread premiums wider over the fiscal year. However, issues did not seem to be systemic, as policymakers responded swiftly which calmed markets. The Fed, aiming to further stabilize markets, continued course with its hawkish policy and announced two 0.25% hikes in March and May, resulting in a target federal funds rate of 5.00% to 5.25%.1 Markets stabilized due to milder inflation data and better-than-expected corporate earnings.
Through the second quarter of 2023, global economic growth remained resilient but bifurcated as emerging markets and Asian economies showed robust growth while developed western economies had sluggish yet positive growth. US labor markets maintained momentum with unemployment still at historic lows despite a slight uptick at the end of
May. Inflation generally eased in developed economies, largely driven by moderation in the goods component of inflation. However, core inflation remained more stubborn and led developed country central banks to continue tightening, showcased by another 0.25% hike by the Fed in July, increasing the target rate from 5.25% to 5.50%, its highest level since June 2006.1 While rates remained elevated across all maturities on the yield curve, the two-year Treasury rates increased from 3.45% to 4.85% during the fiscal year, while 10-year Treasury rates increased from 3.53% to 4.48%.2 At the end of the fiscal year, the yield curve remained inverted. Additionally, in August, US debt was downgraded by the Fitch credit rating agency from AAA to AA† on the premise of expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years.3 Despite the higher-than-expected Gross Domestic Product for the third quarter, the Fed held interest rates steady at its September and October 2023 meetings, but left open the possibility of another rate hike before the end of the calendar year.1 As of the end of the fiscal year, we believe markets have priced in that the Fed is near the end or has finished its interest rate hiking cycle, with the expectation that the US is likely to avoid a substantial broad-based recession. We anticipate economic activity will remain relatively resilient. In the US, we believe rate hikes are ending and inflation will continue to fall significantly, albeit imperfectly. As we enter 2024, we expect a more positive growth outlook to unfold as the US economy recovers.
The Fund attempts to meet its investment objective by overweighting the higher yielding component of the fixed-income market (corporate bonds). Within corporates, the investment team targets bonds from the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index that it believes tend to have higher returns than other fixed-income securities with comparable characteristics over a market cycle. These bonds have the following positive factor characteristics:
∎ High carry bonds are those with higher absolute yield or spread.
∎ Value bonds are those with high spreads relative to other securities with similar credit rating and/or sector.
∎ Low volatility bonds are those with lower levels of price volatility.
Since the strategy change, value and high carry bonds outperformed the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index, whereas low volatility bonds slightly underperformed the Index. Overall, bonds with attractive factor characteristics positively impacted the Fund’s relative performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index, due to the overweight positions in high carry and value bonds, as these bonds tend to outperform in a risk on environment. The Fund’s overweight to low volatility bonds helped manage the Fund’s risk exposure.
Please note that we implemented our strategy using derivative instruments, including futures, forwards and swaps. Therefore, a portion of our strategy’s performance, both positive and negative, can be attributed to these instruments. We believe derivatives can be a cost-effective way to gain exposure to certain asset classes 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 fiscal year 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. The investment team does not attempt to time the credit market, interest rates, sectors or factors and therefore maintains its allocations. Over time, we believe this has the potential to deliver positive relative performance over a market cycle.
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 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 monitor 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

† A credit rating is an assessment provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) of the creditworthiness of an issuer with respect to debt obligations, including specific securities, money market instruments or other debts. Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest); ratings are subject to change without notice. Not Rated indicates the debtor was not rated and should not be interpreted as indicating low quality.

The Fund changed strategies on February 28, 2020 to utilize a systematic, quantitative, factor-based approach to investing. The Fund generated positive returns since the strategy change and Class A shares at NAV outperformed the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (unhedged).
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/ performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Performance figures do not reflect deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 4.25% 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2023
NOTE 1–Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco World Bond Factor 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 authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting the Fund or each class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of the Fund or each class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return.
The Fund currently consists of five different classes of shares: Class A, 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. 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. Class C shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A shares of the same Fund (the “Conversion Feature”). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C shares.
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. |
Fixed income securities (including convertible debt securities) generally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices 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, and their value may be adjusted accordingly. 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 is generally valued at its trade price or official closing price that day as of the close of the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid or ask 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the daily settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. Where a final settlement price does not exist, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask price generally from the exchange where the option principally trades.
Securities of investment companies that are not exchange-traded (e.g., open-end mutual funds) are valued using such company’s end-of-business-day net asset value per share.
Deposits, other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks and financial institutions are valued at their daily account value.
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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) may use various pricing services to obtain market quotations as well as fair value prices. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become not representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”). If, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, a significant event occurs that makes the closing price of the security unreliable, the Adviser 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 in accordance with Board–approved policies and related Adviser procedures (“Valuation Procedures”). 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 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.
Unlisted securities will be valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or by another method that the Adviser, in its judgment, believes better reflects the security’s fair value in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
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 mean between the last bid and ask prices may be used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. If a fair value price provided by a pricing service is unreliable, the Adviser will fair value the security using the Valuation Procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 market conditions which are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, acts of terrorism, significant governmental actions or adverse investor sentiment generally 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.
The price the Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from the Adviser’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund

securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
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 an accrual basis from settlement date and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Pay-in-kind interest income and non-cash dividend income received in the form of securities in-lieu of cash are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. 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.
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, the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities and its “country of risk” as determined by a third party service provider, 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 based on relative net assets of Class R5 and Class R6. 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. | Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees – Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees, administrative expenses, negative or overdrawn balances on margin accounts and other expenses associated with establishing and maintaining a line of credit. |
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. | 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, unregistered investment companies that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and money market funds (collectively, “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 |
| | |
23 | | Invesco World Bond Factor Fund |
compensation to counterparties, are included in Dividends from affiliates 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.
The Adviser serves as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as a securities lending agent. To the extent the Fund utilizes the Adviser as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services in a manner consistent with the federal securities laws. For the year ended October 31, 2023, fees paid to the Adviser were less than $500. Fees paid to the Adviser for securities lending agent services, if any, are included in Dividends from affiliates on the 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 the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests and are shown in the Statement of Operations.
L. | Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement) basis, or through forward foreign currency contracts, to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. |
The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security, or the Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical exchange of the two currencies on the settlement date, 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).
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 for hedging 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.
M. | Futures Contracts – The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between Counterparties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying instrument or asset. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal Counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as Counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
N. | Swap Agreements – The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between Counterparties. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) between two parties (“uncleared/ OTC”) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a future commission merchant (“FCM”) and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central Counterparty (“centrally cleared swap”). These agreements may contain among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/ or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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
| | |
24 | | Invesco World Bond Factor Fund |
thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its Counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. If a Counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from Counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the Counterparty and by the designation of collateral by the Counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the Counterparty.
Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between Counterparties pursuant to which the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified notional amount.
Changes in the value of centrally cleared and OTC swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as 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. 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, which could result in the Fund accruing additional expenses. 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. Additionally, an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) includes credit related contingent features which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the Counterparty. 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, 2023, if any, for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the open swap agreements table. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
O. | Dollar Rolls and Forward Commitment Transactions – The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions to enhance the Fund’s performance. The Fund executes its dollar roll transactions in the to be announced (“TBA”) market whereby the Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase a security and, instead of accepting delivery, the position is offset by the sale of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase at a future date. |
The Fund accounts for dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales and realizes gains and losses on these transactions. These transactions increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that a Counterparty to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions also involve the risk that the value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement.
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. This practice does not apply to securities pledged as collateral for securities lending transactions. |
R. | Other Risks – Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability. |
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. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires.
Increases in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. 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 redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.

NOTE 2–Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. 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 billion | | | 0.270 | % |
Over $2 billion | | | 0.250 | % |
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective advisory fee rate incurred by the Fund was 0.27%.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, will pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least February 29, 2024, 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 Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.54%, 1.29%, 0.29%, 0.29% and 0.29%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 29, 2024. 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, 2025, 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, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $71,259 and reimbursed fund level expenses of $164,615 and reimbursed class level expenses of $40,782, $3,188, $19,241, $0 and $421 of Class A, 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, 2023, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Invesco has entered into a sub-administration agreement whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund. Pursuant to a custody agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund, SSB also serves as the Fund’s custodian.
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, 2023, 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 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 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 C shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plans 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, 2023, 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, 2023, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $552 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $6 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. 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 Adviser’s 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, 2023. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4–Derivative Investments
The Fund may enter into an 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, 2023, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $1,706.
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.

28 | | Invesco World Bond Factor 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 SSB, 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, 2023 and 2022:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
| |
Ordinary income* | | $ | – | | | $ | 705,757 | |
| |
Long-term capital gain | | | – | | | | 59,205 | |
| |
Return of capital | | | 292,975 | | | | 93,121 | |
| |
Total distributions | | $ | 292,975 | | | $ | 858,083 | |
| |
* | Includes short-term capital gain distributions, if any. |
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2023 | |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – investments | | $ | (3,472,633) | |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – foreign currencies | | | (3,229 | ) |
| |
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (20,494 | ) |
| |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (3,911,793 | ) |
| |
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 28,603,008 | |
| |
Total net assets | | $ | 21,194,859 | |
| |
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, derivative instruments and straddles.
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, 2023, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capital Loss Carryforward* | |
| |
Expiration | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
| |
Not subject to expiration | | $ | 1,977,033 | | | $ | 1,934,760 | | | $ | 3,911,793 | |
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward 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. Government obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended October 31, 2023 was $15,694,994 and $25,215,883, 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 | | $ | 590,211 | |
| |
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments | | | (4,062,844 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $ | (3,472,633 | ) |
| |
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $23,530,446.
NOTE 10–Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, net operating losses and return of capital distributions, on October 31, 2023, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $157,099, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $910,133 and shares of beneficial interest was decreased by $753,034. 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 World Bond Factor Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Invesco World Bond Factor Fund (one of the funds constituting AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds), referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | ACTUAL | | HYPOTHETICAL (5% annual return before expenses) | | |
| Beginning Account Value (05/01/23) | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23)1 | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Ending Account Value (10/31/23) | | Expenses Paid During Period2 | | Annualized Expense Ratio |
| | | | | | |
Class A | | $1,000.00 | | $938.90 | | $2.88 | | $1,022.23 | | $3.01 | | 0.59% |
Class C | | 1,000.00 | | 935.20 | | 6.54 | | 1,018.45 | | 6.82 | | 1.34 |
Class Y | | 1,000.00 | | 940.00 | | 1.66 | | 1,023.49 | | 1.73 | | 0.34 |
Class R5 | | 1,000.00 | | 939.50 | | 1.66 | | 1,023.49 | | 1.73 | | 0.34 |
Class R6 | | 1,000.00 | | 939.00 | | 1.66 | | 1,023.49 | | 1.73 | | 0.34 |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023, 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
At meetings held on June 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) as a whole, and the independent Trustees, who comprise over 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Invesco World Bond Factor Fund’s (the Fund) 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, 2023. After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable thereunder by the Fund to Invesco Advisers and by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Evaluation Process
The Board has established an Investments Committee, which in turn has established Sub-Committees, that meet throughout the year to review the performance of funds advised by Invesco Advisers (the Invesco Funds). The Sub-Committees meet regularly with portfolio managers for their assigned Invesco Funds and other members of management to review information about investment performance and portfolio attributes of these funds. The Board has established additional standing and ad hoc committees that meet regularly throughout the year to review matters within their purview, including a working group focused on opportunities to make ongoing and continuous improvements to the annual review process for the Invesco Funds’ investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. The Board took into account evaluations and reports that it received from its committees and sub-committees, as well as the information provided to the Board and its committees and sub-committees throughout the year, in considering whether to approve each Invesco Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
As part of the contract renewal process, the Board reviews and considers information provided in response to requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees. The Board receives comparative investment performance and fee and expense data regarding the Invesco Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent mutual fund data provider, as well as information on the composition of the peer groups provided by Broadridge and its methodology for determining peer groups. The Board also receives an independent written evaluation from the Senior Officer. 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 accordance with certain negotiated regulatory requirements. In addition to meetings with Invesco Advisers and fund counsel throughout the year and as part of meetings convened on May 2, 2023 and June 13, 2023, the independent Trustees also discussed the continuance of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts in separate sessions with the Senior Officer and with independent legal counsel. Also, as part of the contract renewal process, the independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided in response to follow-up requests for information submitted by the independent Trustees to management. The independent Trustees met and discussed those follow-up responses with legal counsel to the independent Trustees and the Senior Officer.
The discussion below is a summary of the Senior Officer’s independent written evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, 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. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them during the course of the year and in prior years 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 information received and considered by the Board was current as of various dates prior to the Board’s approval on June 13, 2023.
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 nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services, including the Fund’s portfolio manager(s). The Board considered recent senior management changes at Invesco and Invesco Advisers, including the appointment of new Co-Heads of Investments, that had been presented to and discussed with the Board. The Board’s review included consideration of Invesco Advisers’ investment process and oversight, credit analysis and research capabilities. The Board considered information regarding Invesco Advisers’ programs for and resources devoted to risk management, including management of investment, enterprise, operational, liquidity, derivatives, valuation and compliance risks, and technology used to manage such risks. The Board received information regarding Invesco’s methodology for compensating its investment professionals and the incentives and accountability it creates, as well as how it impacts Invesco’s ability to attract and retain talent. The Board received a description of, and reports related to, Invesco Advisers’ global security program and business continuity plans and of its approach to data privacy
and cybersecurity, including related testing. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds, such as various middle office and back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board observed that Invesco Advisers’ systems preparedness and ongoing investment enabled Invesco Advisers to manage, operate and oversee the Invesco Funds with minimal impact or disruption through challenging environments. The Board reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of the family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in running an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. 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 to the Fund 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 the Affiliated Sub-Advisers’ expertise with respect to certain asset classes and 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 and territories in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with portfolio trading. 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 to the Fund 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 investment 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, 2022 to the performance of funds in the Broadridge performance universe and against the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (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, 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 reasonably comparable to the performance of the Index for the one, three and five year periods. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time as of a particular date and that
| | |
33 | | Invesco World Bond Factor Fund |
selecting a different performance period could produce different results. The Board further considered that in 2020 the Fund changed its name, investment strategy and index against which future performance is compared in connection with its repositioning as a factor-based fund, and that performance results prior to such date reflected that of the Fund’s former strategy. As a result, the Board did not consider performance of the Fund prior to such date to be particularly relevant. The Board also reviewed more recent Fund performance as well as other performance metrics, which did not change its conclusions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses |
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. 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 Fund’s contractual management fee schedule was reduced at certain breakpoint levels effective in 2020 in connection with its repositioning as a factor-based fund. The Board noted that the term “contractual management fee” for funds in the expense group may include both advisory and certain non-portfolio management administrative services fees, but that Broadridge is not able to provide information on a fund-by-fund basis as to what is included. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Broadridge in calculating 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 considered comparative information regarding the Fund’s total expense ratio and its various components.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or limit expenses of the Fund for the term disclosed in the Fund’s registration statement 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 similarly managed mutual funds or client accounts.
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.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there may be economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund and the Invesco Funds, and the extent to which such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and the Invesco Funds. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in calculating and measuring economies of scale at the individual fund level; noting that only indicative and estimated measures are available at the individual fund level and that such measures are subject to uncertainty. The Board considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints in the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which generally operate to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio as it grows in size. The Board noted that the Fund also
shares in economies of scale through Invesco Advisers’ ability to negotiate lower fee arrangements with third party service providers. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as Invesco Advisers’ investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
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 in the aggregate and on an individual fund-by-fund basis. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and the periodic review and enhancement of such methodology. 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 in the aggregate and to most Invesco Funds individually. The Board considered that profits to Invesco Advisers can vary significantly depending on the particular Invesco Fund, with some Invesco Funds showing indicative losses to Invesco Advisers and others showing indicative profits at healthy levels, and that Invesco Advisers’ support for and commitment to an Invesco Fund are not, however, solely dependent on the profits realized as to that Fund. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing such services to be excessive, given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provided information demonstrating that Invesco Advisers is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the investment advisory agreement, and provided representations indicating that the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted the cyclical and competitive nature of the global asset management industry.
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 administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board received comparative information regarding fees charged for these services, including information provided by Broadridge and other independent sources. The Board reviewed the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board noted that these services are provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and subject to approval on an annual basis by the Board based on its determination 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 registered money market funds or, with regard to securities lending cash collateral, unregistered funds that comply with Rule 2a-7 (collectively referred to as “affiliated money market funds”) advised by Invesco Advisers. The Board considered information regarding the returns of the affiliated money market funds relative to comparable overnight investments, as well as the
fees paid by the affiliated money market funds to Invesco Advisers and its affiliates. In this regard, the Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to the Fund’s investments. The Board also noted that Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods 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 advisory fees payable to Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds are for services that are not duplicative of services provided by Invesco Advisers to the Fund.
The Board considered that Invesco Advisers may serve as the Fund’s affiliated securities lending agent and evaluated the benefits realized by Invesco Advisers when serving in such role, including the compensation received. The Board considered Invesco Advisers’ securities lending platform and corporate governance structure for securities lending, including Invesco Advisers’ Securities Lending Governance Committee and its related responsibilities. The Board noted that to the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco Advisers as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with, and in reliance upon, no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board considered information provided by Invesco Advisers related to the performance of Invesco Advisers as securities lending agent, including a summary of the securities lending services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers and the compensation paid to Invesco Advisers for such services, as well as any revenues generated for the Fund in connection with such securities lending activity and the allocation of such revenue between the Fund and Invesco Advisers.

(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.
| 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.
1 Applicable Rules include, for example, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules applicable to closed-end funds managed by Invesco and listed on NYSE.
“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 Fund
| 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.
Appendix I
Non-Audit Services That May Impair the Auditor’s Independence
The Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services:
| ● | | Broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services ; |
| ● | | Expert services unrelated to the audit; |
| ● | | Any service or product provided for a contingent fee or a commission; |
| ● | | Services related to marketing, planning, or opining in favor of the tax treatment of confidential transactions or aggressive tax position transactions, a significant purpose of which is tax avoidance; |
| ● | | Tax services for persons in financial reporting oversight roles at the Fund; and |
| ● | | Any other service that the Public Company Oversight Board determines by regulation is impermissible. |
An Auditor is not independent if, at any point during the audit and professional engagement, the Auditor provides the following non-audit services unless it is reasonable to conclude that the results of the services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Funds’ financial statements:
| ● | | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client; |
| ● | | Financial information systems design and implementation; |
| ● | | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; |
| ● | | Actuarial services; and |
| ● | | Internal audit outsourcing services. |
(e)(2) There were no amounts that were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimus exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) In addition to the amounts shown in the tables above, PwC billed Invesco and Invesco Affiliates aggregate fees of $6,507,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 and $6,370,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. In total, PwC billed the Registrant, Invesco and Invesco Affiliates aggregate non-audit fees of $8,047,470 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 and $7,533,564 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.
PwC provided audit services to the Investment Company complex of approximately $33 million.
(h) The Audit Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Invesco and Invesco Affiliates that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to SEC regulations, if any, is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence.
