Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit oppenheimerfunds.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions and a 5.50% maximum applicable sales charge except where “without sales charge” is indicated. As the result of a reorganization after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund due to a change in expenses and sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. See Fund prospectus and summary prospectus for more information on share classes and sales charges.

Performance prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) restated to reflect the higher 12-b-1 fees applicable to Class R shares. Class A share’s performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. |
2. | Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit oppenheimerfunds.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Performance shown at NAV does not include the applicable front-end sales charge, which would have reduced the performance. The current maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares is 5.50%, and the contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for the 1-year period. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and R6 shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. As the result of a reorganization after
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 5 |
the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund due to a change in expenses and sales charge.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Alerian MLP Index. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock performance. The Alerian MLP Index is a float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index measuring master limited partnerships, whose constituents represent approximately 85% of total float-adjusted market capitalization. The index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.
Before investing in any of the Invesco funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.AIM.LINE (246-5463). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.
Shares of Invesco funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses (as restated, note 11)
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended May 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended May 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. | Actual expenses paid for Class A, C, Y, and R6 are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Actual expenses paid for Class R and R5 are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 7/365 to reflect the period from after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) to May 31, 2019. |

Those annualized expense ratios, based on the 6-month period ended May 31, 2019 for Classes A, C, Y, and R6 and for the period from after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) to May 31, 2019 for Class R and R5 are as follows:
Class | Expense Ratios |

CLASS C | 3.10 |
CLASS R | 2.60 |
CLASS Y | 2.10 |
CLASS R5 | 2.08 |
CLASS R6 | 2.03 |
The expense ratios for Class A, C, R, Y, R5, and R6 reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements, if applicable.

The Acquired Fund was reorganized after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares received the corresponding class of shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Class R6 shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class W received Class Y shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares prior to the Reorganization is included with information relating to Class R6 Shares throughout this report. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class W Shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Class Y Shares throughout this report. Class R and Class R5 shares commenced operations on the Reorganization Date.
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 and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |

D. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund’s dividend distribution policy is intended to provide monthly distributions to its shareholders at a rate that over time is similar to the distribution rate the Fund receives from the master limited partnerships (”MLPs”) in which it invests. The Fund generally pays out dividends that over time approximate the distributions received from the Fund’s portfolio investments based on, among other considerations, distributions the Fund actually received from portfolio investments, distributions it would have received if it had been fully invested at all times, and estimated future cash flows. Such dividends are not tied to the Fund’s investment income and may not represent yield or investment return on the Fund’s portfolio. To the extent that the dividends paid exceed the distributions the Fund receives from its underlying investments, the Fund’s assets will be reduced. The Fund’s tendency to pay out a consistent dividend may change, and the Fund’s level of distributions may increase or decrease. |
The estimated characterization of the distributions paid will be either a qualified dividend or distribution (return of capital). This estimate is based on the Fund’s operating results during the period. The actual characterization of the distributions made during the period will not be determined until after the end of the fiscal year.
E. | Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund primarily invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund principally invests in MLPs that derive their revenue primarily from businesses involved in the gathering, transporting, processing, treating, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products or coal (“energy infrastructure MLPs”). The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the energy sector. Energy infrastructure MLPs are subject to a variety of industry specific risk factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including a decrease in production or reduced volumes of natural gas or other energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing; changes in energy commodity prices; a sustained reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products; depletion of natural gas reserves or other commodities if not replaced; natural disasters, extreme weather and environmental hazards; rising interest rates, how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated, environmental and safety controls, and the prices they may charge for products and services. In addition, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price, and supply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and energy conservation may cause difficulties for energy infrastructure MLPs. |
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 29 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
MLPs may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital – Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. Federal Income Taxes. The Fund does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, but will rather be taxed as a corporation. As a corporation, the Fund is obligated to pay federal, state and local income tax on taxable income. For the period ended May 31, 2019, the federal income tax rate is 21 percent. The Fund is currently using an estimated rate of 2.0 percent for state and local tax, net of federal tax expense.
The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) requirements were repealed with the enactment of H.R. 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Any past alternative minimum taxes paid by the fund do qualify for substantial refundability under the TCJA with AMT credit carryforwards becoming partially refundable prior to, or fully refundable for tax years beginning in 2021.
The Fund’s income tax provision consists of the following as of May 31, 2019 (as restated, note 11):
Current tax expense (benefit) | | | | |
Federal | | $ | — | |
State | | | — | |
Total current tax expense | | $ | — | |
| | | | |
Deferred tax expense (benefit) | | | | |
Federal | | $ | 34,016,557 | |
State | | | 3,239,673 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (17,460,730 | ) |
Total deferred tax expense | | $ | 19,795,500 | |

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) follows (as restated, note 11):
| | Amount | | | % Effect | |
Application of Federal statutory income tax rate | | $ | 34,884,431 | | | | 21.00 | % |
State income taxes net of federal benefit | | | 3,322,328 | | | | 2.00 | % |
Effect of permanent differences | | | (1,277,682 | ) | | | (0.77 | %) |
Return to provision adjustments | | | 327,153 | | | | 0.20 | % |
Change in valuation allowance | | | (17,460,730 | ) | | | (10.51 | %) |
Total income tax expense (benefit) | | $ | 19,795,500 | | | | 11.92 | % |
For the period ended May 31, 2019 the Fund’s tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) of 11.92% differed from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 23% due in large part to the change in valuation allowance primarily as a result of the change in unrealized appreciation.
The Fund intends to invest its assets primarily in MLP investments, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLP investments, the Fund reports its allocable share of the MLP investments’ taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The Fund’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally: (i) taxes on unrealized gains/(losses), which are attributable to the temporary difference between fair market value and tax basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such temporary differences are realized or otherwise settled. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance is required. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, it is more-likely-than-not some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
At May 31, 2019, the Fund determined a valuation allowance was not required. The Fund’s assessment considered, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carryforwards were limited as a result of shareholder transactions or were likely to expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments.
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 31 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Consideration was also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. Additionally, various tax law changes resulting from the enactment of the TCJA were considered by the Fund in assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. Specifically, the TCJA eliminated the net operating loss carryback ability and replaced the 20 year carryforward period with an indefinite carryforward period for any net operating losses arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017. The TCJA also established a limitation for any net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 to the lesser of the aggregate of available net operating losses or 80% of taxable income before any net operating loss utilization. Through the consideration of these factors, the Fund has determined that it is more likely than not that the Fund’s deferred tax assets will be realized (as restated, note 11).
From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on or expirations of the Fund’s net operating losses and capital loss carryovers (if any) and changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material (as restated, note 11).
Components of the Fund’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2019 are as follows (as restated, note 11):
Deferred tax assets: | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforward (tax basis) - Federal | | $ | 104,854,282 | |
Net operating loss carryforward (tax basis) - State | | | 9,561,915 | |
Excess business interest expense carryforward | | | 3,957,975 | |
Capital loss carryforward (tax basis) | | | 20,772,871 | |
Organizational Costs | | | 3,054 | |
Total deferred tax asset | | | 139,150,097 | |
| | | | |
Deferred tax liabilities: | | | | |
Net unrealized gains on investment securities (tax basis) | | $ | (158,945,596 | ) |
Total deferred tax liability | | | (158,945,596 | ) |
| | | | |
Total net deferred tax asset/(liability) | | $ | (19,795,499 | ) |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Fund may rely, to some extent, on information provided by the MLPs, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to MLP units held in its portfolio, and to estimate its associated deferred tax liability or asset. Such estimates are made in good faith. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its tax liability or asset.
The Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of May 31, 2019, the Fund does not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Fund has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no significant impact on the Fund’s net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on its tax returns. Furthermore, management of the Fund is not aware of any uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly change in the next 12 months. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. All relevant periods are still open for examination.
At May 31, 2019, the Fund had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, as follows:
Expiration date for expiring net operating loss carryforwards: | | | | |
11/30/2032 | | $ | 24,232,175 | |
11/30/2033 | | | 63,882,188 | |
11/30/2034 | | | 129,986,547 | |
11/30/2035 | | | 153,875,403 | |
11/30/2036 | | | 116,663,848 | |
11/30/2037 | | | 10,613,012 | |
Total expiring net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 499,253,173 | |
| | | | |
Total non-expiring net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 52,935 | |
| | | | |
Total net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 499,306,108 | |
During the period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund estimates that it will utilize $21,172,361 of net operating loss carryforward.
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 33 |

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
At May 31, 2019, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, which may be carried forward for 5 years, as follows:
Expiration Date | | | | |
11/30/2021 | | $ | 29,454,428 | |
11/30/2024 | | | 60,862,402 | |
Total | | $ | 90,316,830 | |
At May 31, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of Investments | | $ | 2,738,252,236 | |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 899,610,982 | |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | (208,782,472 | ) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments | | $ | 690,828,510 | |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
H. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
I. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |

J. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $3 billion | | | 0.70 | % |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.68 | % |
Over $5 billion | | | 0.65 | % |
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.70%. From the beginning of the fiscal period until the date of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $10,981,363 in advisory fees to OFI SteelPath, Inc. based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco 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 Funds.
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Class A, Class C,
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 35 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates (Continued)
Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.10%. 1.85%, 1.35%, 0.85%, 0.84% and 0.79%, 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 expense after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (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 May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (“Net Expenses”) will be higher than these amounts to the extent that the Fund incurs expenses excluded from the expense cap. Because the Fund’s deferred income tax expense/(benefit) and interest expense are excluded from the expense cap, the Fund’s Net Expenses for each class of shares is increased/(decreased) by the amount of this expense. See Note 11 and 12.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, advisory fees of $1,167,432 were waived.
Prior to the Reorganization, the OFI SteelPath, Inc. had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class A, Class C, Class W, and Class Y shares to 1.10%. 1.85%, 0.85%, and 0.85%, respectively, of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Trust has entered into an administration and fund accounting agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMB”) pursuant to which UMB shall provide administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. For the six months, ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative fees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid administrative fees to UMB. Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby UMB Bank, n.a., serves as custodian to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, UMB Bank, n.a. served as custodian to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries

that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid transfer agent fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class 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 “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the Class A, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plans would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution and service plan fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended May 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $3,243 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $47 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. From the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of the Reorganization, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. retained $89,908 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $72 and $14,817 from Class A and Class C Shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.

Note 3 – Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of May 31, 2019. 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 – Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures for the period June 1, 2018 to May 24, 2019, the Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed. Securities purchases of $96,810,270 and securities sales of $12,304,890, which resulted in net realized gains of $1,569,110.
For the period May 25, 2019 to May 31, 2019, the Fund did not engage in transactions with affiliates.
Note 5 – Trustees’ and Officer Fees and Benefits
Certain trustees have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Note 6 – Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with UMB Bank n.a 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 9 – Borrowing Agreement
The Fund, along with Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund, and Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund (collectively, the “Trust”), is a borrower in a $700 million revolving credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a major lending institution (the “Lender”). The Fund is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of one-third of the Fund’s total assets, or the maximum amount permitted pursuant to the Fund’s investment limitations. As the Loan Agreement is not available exclusively to the Fund, the Fund may not be able to borrow all of its requested amounts at any given time. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement, if any, are invested by the Fund under the direction of the Adviser consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and as such, the related investments are subject to normal market fluctuations and investment risks, including the risk of loss due to a decline in value. The borrowing, if any, is fully collateralized throughout the term of the borrowing with securities

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 9 – Borrowing Agreement (Continued)
or other assets of the Fund. The Fund is not liable for borrowings of other Funds in the Trust. If applicable, securities that have been pledged as collateral for the borrowing are indicated in the Statement of Investments.
Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are charged interest at a calculated rate computed by the Lender based on the one month LIBOR rate plus 0.75% per annum. An unused commitment fee at the rate of 0.30% per annum is charged for any undrawn portion of the credit facility, and each series of the Trust will pay its pro rata share of this fee. A facility fee of 0.10% was charged on the commitment amount, and each series of the Trust paid its pro rata share of this fee. The borrowing is due November 15, 2019, unless another date is mutually agreed upon by the parties of the Loan Agreement. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund paid $441,101 in borrowing fees. The Fund did not utilize the facility during the six months ended May 31, 2019.
Note 10 – Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal periods ending after May 24, 2019. Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Predecessor Fund was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company and its financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”).
Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through the close of business on May 24, 2019, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Note 11 – Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of the May 31, 2019 financial statements, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset for the period ended May 31, 2019 and certain prior fiscal years had not been properly accounted for on the financial statements of the Fund.
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 43 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 11 – Restatement (Continued)
A deferred tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets under U.S. GAAP involved judgment and required the subjective weighting of both positive and negative evidence relating to expectations about the recoverability of those assets. Management has reevaluated both positive and negative evidence through the issuance date of the restated financial statements regarding the use of certain sources of future taxable income on the recoverability of its deferred tax asset. Consequently, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the understatement of the valuation allowance and corresponding overstatement of the deferred tax asset and overstatement of the Fund’s net asset value. See Note 1G - Significant Accounting Policies - Federal Income Taxes for additional information related to the significant considerations in the evaluation of the Fund’s valuation allowance.
As a result, the Fund has restated its statement of assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2019, and its statement of operations for the period then ended, its statements of changes in net assets for the period ended May 31, 2019, and its financial highlights for the period ended May 31, 2019.
The restatement adjustments had no effect on the reported fair values or cost of investments as reported in the statement of investments. In addition to the restated financial statements, the information contained in Notes 1G, 11, 12 and 13 to the financial statements was added or restated as part of the restatement.

Note 12 – Remediation Note
Subsequent to the period end, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset included in the calculation of the net asset values per share (“NAV”) upon which the shareholders transacted had not been properly accounted for during the period that could include days from December 1, 2014 through March 6, 2020 (“overstatement period”). Specifically, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the overstatement of the deferred tax asset and corresponding understatement of the valuation allowance. As a result, the Fund’s NAVs have been corrected during certain days of the overstatement period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 12 – Remediation Note (Continued)
Invesco is assessing the extent to which shareholders who transacted in the Fund during the overstatement period were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the Fund’s deferred tax asset, including the Fund’s overpayment of asset-based fees to affiliates. Invesco is preparing a remediation plan that contemplates payments by Invesco to shareholders whose accounts or transactions were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the NAVs during the overstatement period. The method of determining the actual remediation payments to be paid to individual shareholders is subject to various factors that are not yet certain and information that is not yet readily available, including retrieval of beneficial owner data for Fund shares held in omnibus accounts. The Fund’s Board has directed Invesco to proceed with the remediation plan with any remediation payments to be made directly to affected shareholders outside of the Fund, and that no remediation payments be made to the Fund unless or until the Board were to approve so in the future. The Fund is estimated to have over paid $990,000 in asset-based fees to affiliates as a result of the overstatement of the deferred tax asset during the overstatement period, such amount which will be included in the calculation of remediation payments. Accordingly, all shareholder remediation payments are intended to be made directly to affected shareholders and not to the Fund and therefore no provision for such remediation payments have been made in the Fund’s financial statements. No remediation payments will be made by the Fund.
Note 13 – Subsequent Event
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments, including those held by the Fund.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, commonly referred to as the “CARES Act,” was signed into law on March 27, 2020 by President Trump. The Adviser is assessing the components of the Act and the impacts to the Fund should be immaterial.
A significant decline in oil and natural gas commodity prices occurred from December 31, 2019 through April 30, 2020. The decline in commodity prices after the period covered by this report resulted in overall adverse effects on the oil and natural gas industry and may materially impact the valuations of MLPs and energy assets that operate in that industry.

Initial Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts |
(INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND)
At meetings held on December 14, 2018, 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 (i) an amendment to the Trust’s Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) to add Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund (the Fund), (ii) an amendment to 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. to add the Fund, (iii) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC to add the Fund, (iv) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited to add the Fund, and (v) an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts). Additionally, on March 26, 2019, the Board re-approved an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. following its change of control as a result of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Oppenheimer mutual funds (each, an Oppenheimer Fund), by Invesco Ltd. (the OFI Transaction). After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable 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 noted that it had previously approved establishing the Fund at the Board meeting held on October 23, 2018 and that the Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of an Oppenheimer Fund (the Acquired Fund) with the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks At the time of approval, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or any of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers except OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which was not affiliated with Invesco at that time.
In approving the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process for those funds as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. As part of the approval process, the Board reviewed and considered information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board reviewed comparative investment performance and fee data prepared by Invesco
52 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND |
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory andSub-Advisory Contracts (Continued) |
Advisers and an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees, and by independent legal counsel.
The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of December 14, 2018 and March 26, 2019 for the sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
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 to be 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 will provide these services. The Board’s review included consideration of the investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management to be employed in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds, including the Fund, following the OFI Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted 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
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 53 |
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory andSub-Advisory Contracts (Continued) |
on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board noted that the Fund would continue the historical performance information of the Acquired Fund following the consummation of the OFI Transaction. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that, at the closing of the OFI Transaction, management anticipates that the Fund will be managed pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies and by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts 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, 2017 to the performance of funds in the Morningstar performance universe and against the Fund’s benchmark index. The Board noted that the Fund is taxed as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, rather than as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their 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 Morningstar 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 at least two years from the closing date of the OFI Transaction 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 compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.
54 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND |
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory andSub-Advisory Contracts (Continued) |
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. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also 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 will share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from the 2018 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will continue to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Invesco Funds, and the profits estimated to be realized by the Fund, to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP SELECT 40 FUND 55 |
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory andSub-Advisory Contracts (Continued) |
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 will receive periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers will receive from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees to be received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was be advised that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Distribution SourcesUnaudited |
For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), the percentages attributed to each category are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the MLPs in which the Fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive IRS tax forms in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.
For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, and scroll down to the ‘Dividends’ table under ‘Analytics’. The Fund’s latest distribution information will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you are a direct investor, by enrolling at invesco.com/edelivery.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit oppenheimerfunds.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions and a 5.50% maximum applicable sales charge except where “without sales charge” is indicated. As the result of a reorganization after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund due to a change in expenses and sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. See Fund prospectus and summary prospectus for more information on share classes and sales charges.

1. | Class R shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) restated to reflect the higher 12-b-1 fees applicable to Class R shares. Class A share’s performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. |
2. | Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) and includes the 12-b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares. Class A share’s performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. |
3. | Class R6 shares’ returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the Class I shares of the predecessor fund. |
Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit oppenheimerfunds.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Performance shown at NAV does not include the applicable front-end sales charge, which would have reduced the performance. The current maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares is 5.50%, and the contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for the 1-year period. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and R6 shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. As the result of a reorganization after
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND 5 |
the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund due to a change in expenses and sales charge.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Alerian MLP Index. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock performance. The Alerian MLP Index is a float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index measuring master limited partnerships, whose constituents represent approximately 85% of total float-adjusted market capitalization. The index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.
Before investing in any of the Invesco funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.AIM.LINE (246-5463). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.
Shares of Invesco funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses (as restated, note 11)
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended May 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended May 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Those annualized expense ratios, based on the 6-month period ended May 31, 2019 for Classes A, C, Y, and R6 and for the period from after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) to May 31, 2019 for Class R and R5 are as follows:

CLASS Y | 1.33 |
CLASS R5 | 1.32 |
CLASS R6 | 1.26 |
The expense ratios for Class A, C, R, Y, R5, and R6 reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements, if applicable.

5. | Deferred tax expense/(benefit) estimate for the ratio calculation is derived from the net investment income/loss, and realized and unrealized gains/losses. |
6. | Deferred tax benefit/(expense) for the ratio calculation, when applicable, is derived from net investment income/loss only. |
7. | Ratios are annualized and based on average daily net assets (000’s omitted) of $443,201. |

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate series of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company authorized to 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.
Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Fund operated as Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund (the “Acquired Fund” or “Predecessor Fund”). The Acquired Fund was reorganized after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares received the corresponding class of shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Class R6 shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares prior to the Reorganization is included with information relating to Class R6 Shares throughout this report. Class R and Class R5 shares commenced operations on the Reorganization Date.
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 and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 investments reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund’s dividend distribution policy is intended to provide monthly distributions to its shareholders at a rate that over time is similar to the distribution rate the Fund receives from the master limited partnerships (”MLPs”) in which it invests. The Fund generally pays out dividends that over time approximate the distributions received from the Fund’s portfolio |
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND 25 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
investments based on, among other considerations, distributions the Fund actually received from portfolio investments, distributions it would have received if it had been fully invested at all times, and estimated future cash flows. Such dividends are not tied to the Fund’s investment income and may not represent yield or investment return on the Fund’s portfolio. To the extent that the dividends paid exceed the distributions the Fund receives from its underlying investments, the Fund’s assets will be reduced. The Fund’s tendency to pay out a consistent dividend may change, and the Fund’s level of distributions may increase or decrease.
The estimated characterization of the distributions paid will be either a qualified dividend or distribution (return of capital). This estimate is based on the Fund’s operating results during the period. The actual characterization of the distributions made during the period will not be determined until after the end of the fiscal year.
E. | Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund primarily invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund principally invests in MLPs that derive their revenue primarily from businesses involved in the gathering, transporting, processing, treating, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products or coal (“energy infrastructure MLPs”). The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. The Fund is non-diversified and will concentrate its investments in the energy sector. Energy infrastructure MLPs are subject to a variety of industry specific risk factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including a decrease in production or reduced volumes of natural gas or other energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing; changes in energy commodity prices; a sustained reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products; depletion of natural gas reserves or other commodities if not replaced; natural disasters, extreme weather and environmental hazards; rising interest rates, how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated, environmental and safety controls, and the prices they may charge for products and services. In addition, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price, and supply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and energy conservation may cause difficulties for energy infrastructure MLPs. |
MLPs may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital – Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are |
26 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
G. Federal Income Taxes. The Fund does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, but will rather be taxed as a corporation. As a corporation, the Fund is obligated to pay federal, state and local income tax on taxable income. For the period ended May 31, 2019, the federal income tax rate is 21 percent. The Fund is currently using an estimated rate of 1.6 percent for state and local tax, net of federal tax expense.
The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) requirements were repealed with the enactment of H.R. 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Any past alternative minimum taxes paid by the fund do qualify for substantial refundability under the TCJA with AMT credit carryforwards becoming partially refundable prior to, or fully refundable for tax years beginning in 2021.
The Fund’s income tax provision consists of the following as of May 31, 2019 (as restated, note 11):
Current tax expense/(benefit) | | | | |
Federal | | $ | — | |
State | | | — | |
Total current tax expense | | $ | — | |
| | | | |
Deferred tax expense/(benefit) | | | | |
Federal | | $ | 18,216,019 | |
State | | | 1,387,887 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (19,603,906 | ) |
Total deferred tax expense | | $ | — | |
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND 27 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) follows (as restated, note 11):
| | Amount | | | % Effect | |
Application of Federal statutory income tax rate | | $ | 19,526,756 | | | | 21.00 | % |
State income taxes net of federal benefit | | | 1,487,752 | | | | 1.60 | % |
Effect of permanent differences | | | (1,410,602 | ) | | | (1.52 | %) |
Change in valuation allowance | | | (19,603,906 | ) | | | (21.08 | %) |
Total income tax expense (benefit) | | $ | — | | | | 0.00 | % |
For the period ended May 31, 2019 the Fund’s tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) of 0% differed from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 22.60% due in large part to the change in valuation allowance primarily as a result of the change in unrealized appreciation (as restated, note 11).
The Fund intends to invest its assets primarily in MLP investments, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLP investments, the Fund reports its allocable share of the MLP investments’ taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The Fund’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally: (i) taxes on unrealized gains/(losses), which are attributable to the temporary difference between fair market value and tax basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such temporary differences are realized or otherwise settled. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance is required. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, it is more-likely-than-not some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
At May 31, 2019, the Fund determined a valuation allowance was required. The Fund’s assessment considered, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carryforwards were limited as a result of shareholder transactions or were likely to expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments.
28 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Consideration was also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. Additionally, various tax law changes resulting from the enactment of the TCJA were considered by the Fund in assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. Specifically, the TCJA eliminated the net operating loss carryback ability and replaced the 20 year carryforward period with an indefinite carryforward period for any net operating losses arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017. The TCJA also established a limitation for any net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 to the lesser of the aggregate of available net operating losses or 80% of taxable income before any net operating loss utilization. Through the consideration of these factors, the Fund has determined that it is more likely than not that the Fund’s net deferred tax asset would not be realized. As a result, the Fund recorded a full valuation allowance with respect to its net deferred tax asset as of the period ended May 31, 2019 (as restated, note 11).
From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on or expirations of the Fund’s net operating losses and capital loss carryovers (if any) and changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material (as restated, note 11).
Components of the Fund’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2019 are as follows (as restated, note 11):
Deferred tax assets: | | | | |
Net operating loss carryforward (tax basis) – Federal | | $ | 61,636,342 | |
Net operating loss carryforward (tax basis) – State | | | 6,901,282 | |
Excess business interest expense carryforward | | | 157,640 | |
Capital loss carryforward (tax basis) | | | 103,784,364 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (140,822,459 | ) |
Total deferred tax asset | | | 31,657,169 | |
| | | | |
Deferred tax liabilities: | | | | |
Net unrealized losses on investment securities (tax basis) | | $ | (31,657,169 | ) |
Total deferred tax liability | | | (31,657,169 | ) |
| | | | |
Total net deferred tax asset/(liability) | | $ | — | |
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND 29 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Fund may rely, to some extent, on information provided by the MLPs, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to MLP units held in its portfolio, and to estimate its associated deferred tax liability or asset. Such estimates are made in good faith. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its tax liability or asset.
The Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of May 31, 2019, the Fund does not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Fund has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no significant impact on the Fund’s net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on its tax returns. Furthermore, management of the Fund is not aware of any uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly change in the next 12 months. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. All relevant periods are still open for examination.
At May 31, 2019, the Fund had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, as follows:
Expiration date for expiring net operating loss carryforwards: | | | | |
11/30/2035 | | $ | 91,510,641 | |
11/30/2036 | | | 201,995,745 | |
Total expiring net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 293,506,386 | |
| | | | |
Total non-expiring net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | — | |
| | | | |
Total net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 293,506,386 | |
During the period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund estimates that it will utilize $25,617,066 of net operating loss carryforward.
At May 31, 2019, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, which may be carried forward for 5 years, as follows:
Expiration Date | | | | |
11/30/2021 | | $ | 391,157,831 | |
11/30/2023 | | | 68,065,020 | |
Total | | $ | 459,222,851 | |
30 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
During the period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund estimates that it will utilize $15,135,441 of capital loss carryforward.
At May 31, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of Investments | | $ | 1,574,830,422 | |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 304,405,738 | |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | (165,667,129 | ) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments | | $ | 138,738,609 | |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
H. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
I. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
J. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |

Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $3 billion | | | 1.10 | % |
Next $2 billion | | | 1.08 | % |
Over $5 billion | | | 1.05 | % |
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.10%. From the beginning of the fiscal period until the date of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $10,068,315 in advisory fees to OFI SteelPath, Inc. based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco 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 Funds.
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the to the extent necessary to limit the 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%, 1.24% 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 expense after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (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 May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (“Net Expenses”) will be higher than these amounts to the extent that the Fund incurs expenses excluded from the expense cap. Because the Fund’s deferred income tax expense/(benefit) and interest expense are excluded from the expense cap, the Fund’s Net Expenses for each class of shares is increased/(decreased) by the amount of this expense. See Note 11 and 12.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, advisory fees of $939,097 were waived.
Prior to the Reorganization, the OFI SteelPath, Inc. had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares to 1.50%. 2.25%, and 1.25%, respectively, of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Trust has entered into an administration and fund accounting agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMB”) pursuant to which UMB shall provide administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. For the six months, ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative fees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid administrative fees to UMB. Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby UMB Bank, n.a., serves as custodian to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, UMB Bank, n.a. served as custodian to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid transfer agent fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.

The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class 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 “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the Class A, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution and service plan fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended May 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $745 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $16 and $20 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. From the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of the Reorganization, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. retained $70,610 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $5,304 and $12,737 from Class A and Class C Shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
Note 3 – Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are
34 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 3 – Additional Valuation Information (Continued)
unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
As of May 31, 2019, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
Note 4 – Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act.

Note 5 – Trustees’ and Officer Fees and Benefits
Certain trustees have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Note 6 – Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with UMB Bank n.a 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 – Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the six months ended ended May 31, 2019 was $359,579,254 and $732,597,044 respectively.

Note 9 – Borrowing Agreement
The Fund, along with Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund, and Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund (collectively, the “Trust”), is a borrower in a $700 million revolving credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a major lending institution (the “Lender”). The Fund is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of one-third of the Fund’s total assets, or the maximum amount permitted pursuant to the Fund’s investment limitations. As the Loan Agreement is not available exclusively to the Fund, the Fund may not be able to borrow all of its requested amounts at any given time. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement, if any, are invested by the Fund under the direction of the Adviser consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and as such, the related investments are subject to normal market fluctuations and investment risks, including the risk of loss due to a decline in value. The borrowing, if any, is fully collateralized throughout the term of the borrowing with securities or other assets of the Fund. The Fund is not liable for borrowings of other Funds in the Trust. If applicable, securities that have been pledged as collateral for the borrowing are indicated in the Statement of Investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 9 – Borrowing Agreement (Continued)
Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are charged interest at a calculated rate computed by the Lender based on the one month LIBOR rate plus 0.75% per annum. An unused commitment fee at the rate of 0.30% per annum is charged for any undrawn portion of the credit facility, and each series of the Trust will pay its pro rata share of this fee. A facility fee of 0.10% was charged on the commitment amount, and each series of the Trust paid its pro rata share of this fee. The borrowing is due November 15, 2019, unless another date is mutually agreed upon by the parties of the Loan Agreement. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund paid $263,197 in borrowing fees. The Fund did not utilize the facility during the six months ended May 31, 2019.
Note 10 – Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal periods ending after May 24, 2019. Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Predecessor Fund was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company and its financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”).
Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through the close of business on May 24, 2019, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Note 11 – Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of the May 31, 2019 financial statements, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset for the period ended May 31, 2019 and certain prior fiscal years had not been properly accounted for on the financial statements of the Fund.
A deferred tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND 39 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 11 – Restatement (Continued)
under U.S. GAAP involved judgment and required the subjective weighting of both positive and negative evidence relating to expectations about the recoverability of those assets. Management has reevaluated both positive and negative evidence through the issuance date of the restated financial statements regarding the use of certain sources of future taxable income on the recoverability of its deferred tax asset. Consequently, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the understatement of the valuation allowance and corresponding overstatement of the deferred tax asset and overstatement of the Fund’s net asset value. See Note 1G - Significant Accounting Policies – Federal Income Taxes for additional information related to the significant considerations in the evaluation of the Fund’s valuation allowance.
As a result, the Fund has restated its statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, as of May 31, 2019, and its statement of operations for the period then ended, its statements of changes in net assets for the period ended May 31, 2019, and its financial highlights for the period ended May 31, 2019.
The restatement adjustments had no effect on the reported fair values or cost of investments as reported in the statement of investments. In addition to the restated financial statements, the information contained in Notes 1G, 11,12 and 13 to the financial statements was added or restated as part of the restatement.
The following summarizes the impact of the restatement and excludes balances that were not restated:

Note 12 – Remediation Note
Subsequent to the period end, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset included in the calculation of the net asset values per share (“NAV”) upon which the shareholders transacted had not been properly accounted for during the period that could include days from December 1, 2014 through March 6, 2020 (“overstatement period”). Specifically, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the overstatement of the deferred tax asset and corresponding understatement of the valuation allowance. As a result, the Fund’s NAVs have been corrected during certain days of the overstatement period.
Invesco is assessing the extent to which shareholders who transacted in the Fund during the overstatement period were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the Fund’s deferred tax asset, including the Fund’s overpayment of asset-based fees to affiliates. Invesco is preparing a remediation plan that contemplates payments by Invesco to shareholders whose accounts or transactions were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the NAVs during the overstatement period. The method of determining the actual remediation payments to be paid to individual shareholders is subject to various factors that are not yet certain and information that is not yet readily available, including retrieval of beneficial owner data for Fund shares held in omnibus accounts. The Fund’s Board has directed Invesco to proceed with the remediation plan with any remediation payments to be made directly to affected shareholders outside of the Fund, and that no remediation payments be made to the Fund unless or until the Board were to approve so in the future. The Fund is estimated to have over paid $7,686,000 in asset-based fees to affiliates as a result of the overstatement of the deferred tax asset during the overstatement period, such amount which will be included in the calculation of remediation payments. Accordingly, all shareholder remediation payments are intended to be made directly to affected shareholders and not to the Fund and therefore no provision for such remediation payments have been made in the Fund’s financial statements. No remediation payments will be made by the Fund.
Note 13 – Subsequent Event
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments, including those held by the Fund.

Initial Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts |
(INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND)
At meetings held on December 14, 2018, 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 (i) an amendment to the Trust’s Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) to add Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund (the Fund), (ii) an amendment to 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. to add the Fund, (iii) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC to add the Fund, (iv) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited to add the Fund, and (v) an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts). Additionally, on March 26, 2019, the Board re-approved an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. following its change of control as a result of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Oppenheimer mutual funds (each, an Oppenheimer Fund), by Invesco Ltd. (the OFI Transaction). After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable 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 noted that it had previously approved establishing the Fund at the Board meeting held on October 23, 2018 and that the Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of an Oppenheimer Fund (the Acquired Fund) with the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks At the time of approval, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or any of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers except OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which was not affiliated with Invesco at that time.
In approving the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process for those funds as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. As part of the approval process, the Board reviewed and considered information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board reviewed comparative investment performance and fee data prepared by Invesco

INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
Advisers and an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees, and by independent legal counsel.
The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of December 14, 2018 and March 26, 2019 for the sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
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 to be 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 will provide these services. The Board’s review included consideration of the investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management to be employed in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds, including the Fund, following the OFI Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted 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
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND 51 |
INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
| B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board noted that the Fund would continue the historical performance information of the Acquired Fund following the consummation of the OFI Transaction. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that, at the closing of the OFI Transaction, management anticipates that the Fund will be managed pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies and by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts 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, 2017 to the performance of funds in the Morningstar performance universe and against the Fund’s benchmark index. The Board noted that the Fund is taxed as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, rather than as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their 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 Morningstar 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 at least two years from the closing date of the OFI Transaction 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 compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.

INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
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. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also 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 will share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
| E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from the 2018 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will continue to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Invesco Funds, and the profits estimated to be realized by the Fund, to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
| F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA FUND 53 |
INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
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 will receive periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers will receive from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees to be received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was be advised that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Distribution SourcesUnaudited |
For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), the percentages attributed to each category are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the MLPs in which the Fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive IRS tax forms in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.
For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, and scroll down to the ‘Dividends’ table under ‘Analytics’. The Fund’s latest distribution information will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you are a direct investor, by enrolling at invesco.com/edelivery.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you can call 800 959 4246 to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary or all funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Fund.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit oppenheimerfunds.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions and a 5.50% maximum applicable sales charge except where “without sales charge” is indicated. As the result of a reorganization after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund due to a change in expenses and sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. See Fund prospectus and summary prospectus for more information on share classes and sales charges. Fund literature is available at invesco.com.

Performance prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) restated to reflect the higher 12-b-1 fees applicable to Class R shares. Class A share’s performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. |
2. | Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) and includes the 12-b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

3. | Class R6 shares’ returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the Class I shares of the predecessor fund. |
Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit oppenheimerfunds.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Performance shown at NAV does not include the applicable front-end sales charge, which would have reduced the performance. The current maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares is 5.50%, and the contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for the 1-year period. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and R6 shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. As the result of a reorganization after
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND 5 |
the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the Fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund due to a change in expenses and sales charge.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Alerian MLP Index. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock performance. The Alerian MLP Index is a float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index measuring master limited partnerships, whose constituents represent approximately 85% of total float-adjusted market capitalization. The index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.
Before investing in any of the Invesco funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.AIM.LINE (246-5463). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.
Shares of Invesco funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses (as restated, note 11)
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended May 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended May 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Actual expenses paid for Class R and R5 are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 7/365 to reflect the period from after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) to May 31, 2019. |

Those annualized expense ratios, based on the 6-month period ended May 31, 2019 for Classes A, C, Y, and R6 and for the period from after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) to May 31, 2019 for Class R and R5 are as follows:

CLASS Y | 1.19 |
CLASS R5 | 1.16 |
CLASS R6 | 1.10 |
The expense ratios for Class A, C, R, Y, R5, and R6 reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements, if applicable.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate series of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds)(the “Trust”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company authorized to 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.
Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Fund operated as Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund” or “Predecessor Fund”). The Acquired Fund was reorganized after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares received the corresponding class of shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Class R6 shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares prior to the Reorganization is included with information relating to Class R6 Shares throughout this report. Class R and Class R5 shares commenced operations on the Reorganization Date.
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 and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND 25 |
Notes to Financial Statements Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be
26 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND |
Notes to Financial Statements Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |

D. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund’s dividend distribution policy is intended to provide monthly distributions to its shareholders at a rate that over time is similar to the distribution rate the Fund receives from the master limited partnerships (”MLPs”) in which it invests. The Fund generally pays out dividends that over time approximate the distributions received from the Fund’s portfolio investments based on, among other considerations, distributions the Fund actually received from portfolio investments, distributions it would have received if it had been fully invested at all times, and estimated future cash flows. Such dividends are not tied to the Fund’s investment income and may not represent yield or investment return on the Fund’s portfolio. To the extent that the dividends paid exceed the distributions the Fund receives from its underlying investments, the Fund’s assets will be reduced. The Fund’s tendency to pay out a consistent dividend may change, and the Fund’s level of distributions may increase or decrease. |
The estimated characterization of the distributions paid will be either a qualified dividend or distribution (return of capital). This estimate is based on the Fund’s operating results during the period. The actual characterization of the distributions made during the period will not be determined until after the end of the fiscal year.
E. | Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund primarily invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund principally invests in MLPs that derive their revenue primarily from businesses involved in the gathering, transporting, processing, treating, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products or coal (“energy infrastructure MLPs”). The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. The Fund is non-diversified and will concentrate its investments in the energy sector. Energy infrastructure MLPs are subject to a variety of industry specific risk factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including a decrease in production or reduced volumes of natural gas or other energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing; changes in energy commodity prices; a sustained reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products; depletion of natural gas reserves or other commodities if not replaced; natural disasters, extreme weather and environmental hazards; rising interest rates, how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated, environmental and safety controls, and the prices |
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND 29 |
Notes to Financial Statements Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
they may charge for products and services. In addition, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price, and supply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and energy conservation may cause difficulties for energy infrastructure MLPs.
MLPs may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital – Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. Federal Income Taxes. The Fund does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, but will rather be taxed as a corporation. As a corporation, the Fund is obligated to pay federal, state and local income tax on taxable income. For the period ended May 31, 2019, the federal income tax rate is 21 percent. The Fund is currently using an estimated rate of 2.0 percent for state and local tax, net of federal tax expense.
The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) requirements were repealed with the enactment of H.R. 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Any past alternative minimum taxes paid by the fund do qualify for substantial refundability under the TCJA with AMT credit carryforwards becoming partially refundable prior to, or fully refundable for tax years beginning in 2021.

The Fund’s income tax provision consists of the following as of May 31, 2019 (as restated, note 11):
Current tax expense/(benefit) | | | |
Federal | | $ | — | |
State | | | — | |
Total current tax expense | | $ | — | |

Total deferred tax expense | | $ | — | |
The reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) follows (as restated, note 11):
| | Amount | | | % Effect | |
Application of Federal statutory income tax rate | | $ | 54,441,104 | | | | 21.00 | % |
State income taxes net of federal benefit | | | 5,184,866 | | | | 2.00 | % |
Effect of permanent differences | | | 535,148 | | | | 0.21 | % |
Change in valuation allowance | | | (60,161,118 | ) | | | (23.21 | %) |
Total income tax expense (benefit) | | $ | — | | | | 0.00 | % |
For the period ended May 31, 2019 the Fund’s tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) of 0% differed from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 23% due in large part to the change in valuation allowance primarily as a result of the change in unrealized appreciation (as restated, note 11).
The Fund intends to invest its assets primarily in MLP investments, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLP investments, the Fund reports its allocable share of the MLP investments’ taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The Fund’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally: (i) taxes on unrealized gains/(losses), which are attributable to the temporary difference between fair market value and tax basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND 31 |
Notes to Financial Statements Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such temporary differences are realized or otherwise settled. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance is required. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, it is more-likely-than-not some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
At May 31, 2019, the Fund determined a valuation allowance was required. The Fund’s assessment considered, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carryforwards were limited as a result of shareholder transactions or were likely to expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration was also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. Additionally, various tax law changes resulting from the enactment of the TCJA were considered by the Fund in assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. Specifically, the TCJA eliminated the net operating loss carryback ability and replaced the 20 year carryforward period with an indefinite carryforward period for any net operating losses arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017. The TCJA also established a limitation for any net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 to the lesser of the aggregate of available net operating losses or 80% of taxable income before any net operating loss utilization. Through the consideration of these factors, the Fund has determined that it is more likely than not that the Fund’s net deferred tax asset would not be realized. As a result, the Fund recorded a full valuation allowance with respect to its net deferred tax asset as of the period ended May 31, 2019 (as restated, note 11).
From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on or expirations of the Fund’s net operating losses and capital loss carryovers (if any) and changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material (as restated, note 11).

Total deferred tax liability | | | (162,368,807 | ) |
| | | | |
Total net deferred tax asset/(liability) | | $ | — | |
The Fund may rely, to some extent, on information provided by the MLPs, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to MLP units held in its portfolio, and to estimate its associated deferred tax liability or asset. Such estimates are made in good faith. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its tax liability or asset.
The Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of May 31, 2019, the Fund does not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Fund has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no significant impact on the Fund’s net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on its tax returns. Furthermore, management of the Fund is not aware of any uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly change in the next 12 months. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. All relevant periods are still open for examination.
At May 31, 2019 the Fund had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes, as follows:

Total | | $ | 384,579,688 | |
At May 31, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of Investments | | $ | 2,420,361,063 | |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 901,858,962 | |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | (197,068,444 | ) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments | | $ | 704,790,518 | |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
H. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets.

and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
I. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
J. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | Rate |
First $3 billion | 0.95% |
Next $2 billion | 0.93% |
Over $5 billion | 0.90% |
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 0.95%. From the beginning of the fiscal period until the date of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $14,447,356 in advisory fees to OFI SteelPath, Inc. based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.

Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates (Continued)
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 Funds.
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the to the extent necessary to limit the 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 1.35%. 2.10%, 1.60%, 1.10%, 1.08% and 1.03%, 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 expense after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (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 May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (“Net Expenses”) will be higher than these amounts to the extent that the Fund incurs expenses excluded from the expense cap. Because the Fund’s deferred income tax expense/(benefit) and interest expense are excluded from the expense cap, the Fund’s Net Expenses for each class of shares is increased/(decreased) by the amount of this expense. See Note 11 and 12.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, advisory fees of $1,413,728 were waived.

Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates (Continued)
Prior to the Reorganization, the OFI SteelPath, Inc. had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares to 1.35%. 2.10%, and 1.10%, respectively, of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Trust has entered into an administration and fund accounting agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMB”) pursuant to which UMB shall provide administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. For the six months, ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative fees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid administrative fees to UMB. Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby UMB Bank, n.a., serves as custodian to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, UMB Bank, n.a. served as custodian to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid transfer agent fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class 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 “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the Class A, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution and service plan fees.

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

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of May 31, 2019. 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.

(a) | The Fund fair values certain preferred shares using a discounted cash flow model which values the shares at the expected value of common units to be received in PIK conversion based on: the current price of the common shares (observable), the 20-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the common shares (observable), the 3-day volume weighted average price of the common shares (observable), and a discount rate, which is derived from the estimated yield and an illiquidity discount. Such security’s fair valuation could decrease (increase) significantly based on an increase (decrease) in the illiquidity discount. Such security’s fair valuation could decrease (increase) significantly based on a decrease (increase) in expected yields. |
(b) | The Fund fair values certain preferred shares using a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates an illiquidity discount and the expected yield based on the average yield on comparable companies’ equity. Such security’s fair valuation could decrease (increase) significantly based on an increase (decrease) in the illiquidity discount. Such security’s fair valuation could decrease (increase) significantly based on a decrease (increase) in expected yields. |
Note 4 – Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant

Note 4 – Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds (Continued)
to these procedures for the period June 1, 2018 to May 24, 2019, the Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed. Securities purchases of $57,294,011 and securities sales of $122,753,813, which resulted in net realized loss of ($51,691,611).
For the period May 25, 2019 to May 31, 2019, the Fund did not engage in transactions with affiliates.
Note 5 – Trustees’ and Officer Fees and Benefits
Certain trustees have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Note 6 – Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with UMB Bank n.a 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 – Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period ended May 31, 2019 was $440,635,658 and $375,612,670 respectively.

Note 9 – Borrowing Agreement
The Fund, along with Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund, and Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund (collectively, the “Trust”), is a borrower in a $700 million revolving credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a major lending institution (the “Lender”). The Fund is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of one-third of the Fund’s total assets, or the maximum amount permitted pursuant to the Fund’s investment limitations. As the Loan Agreement is not available exclusively to the Fund, the Fund may not be able to borrow all of its requested amounts at any given time. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement, if any, are invested by the Fund under the direction of the Adviser consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and as such, the related investments are subject to normal market fluctuations and investment risks, including the risk of loss due to a decline in value. The borrowing, if any, is fully collateralized throughout the term of the borrowing with securities or other assets of the Fund. The Fund is not liable for borrowings of other Funds in the Trust. If applicable, securities that have been pledged as collateral for the borrowing are indicated in the Statement of Investments.
Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are charged interest at a calculated rate computed by the Lender based on the one month LIBOR rate plus 0.75% per annum. An unused commitment fee at the rate of 0.30% per annum is charged for any undrawn portion of the
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND 43 |

Note 9 – Borrowing Agreement (Continued)
credit facility, and each series of the Trust will pay its pro rata share of this fee. A facility fee of 0.10% was charged on the commitment amount, and each series of the Trust paid its pro rata share of this fee. The borrowing is due November 15, 2019, unless another date is mutually agreed upon by the parties of the Loan Agreement. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund paid $425,001 in borrowing fees. The Fund did not utilize the facility during the six months ended May 31, 2019.
Note 10 – Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal periods ending after May 24, 2019. Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Predecessor Fund was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company and its financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”).
Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through the close of business on May 24, 2019, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Note 11 – Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of the May 31, 2019 financial statements, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset for the period ended May 31, 2019 and certain prior fiscal years had not been properly accounted for on the financial statements of the Fund.
A deferred tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets under U.S. GAAP involved judgment and required the subjective weighting of both positive and negative evidence relating to expectations about the recoverability of those assets. Management has reevaluated both positive and negative evidence through the issuance date
44 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND |
Notes to Financial Statements Unaudited / (Continued) |
Note 11 – Restatement (Continued)
of the restated financial statements regarding the use of certain sources of future taxable income on the recoverability of its deferred tax asset. Consequently, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the understatement of the valuation allowance and corresponding overstatement of the deferred tax asset and overstatement of the Fund’s net asset value. See Note 1G - Significant Accounting Policies - Federal Income Taxes for additional information related to the significant considerations in the evaluation of the Fund’s valuation allowance.
As a result, the Fund has restated its statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, as of May 31, 2019, and its statement of operations for the period then ended, its statements of changes in net assets for the period ended May 31, 2019, and its financial highlights for the period ended May 31, 2019.
The restatement adjustments had no effect on the reported fair values or cost of investments as reported in the statement of investments. In addition to the restated financial statements, the information contained in Notes 1G, 11, 12 and 13 to the financial statements was added or restated as part of the restatement.
The following summarizes the impact of the restatement and excludes balances that were not restated:

Note 12 – Remediation Note
Subsequent to the period end, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset included in the calculation of the net asset values per share (“NAV”) upon which the shareholders transacted had not been properly accounted for during the period that could include days from December 1, 2014 through March 6, 2020 (“overstatement period”). Specifically, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the overstatement of the deferred tax asset and corresponding understatement of the valuation allowance. As a result, the Fund’s NAVs have been corrected during certain days of the overstatement period.
Invesco is assessing the extent to which shareholders who transacted in the Fund during the overstatement period were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the Fund’s deferred tax asset, including the Fund’s overpayment of asset-based fees to affiliates. Invesco is preparing a remediation plan that contemplates payments by Invesco to shareholders whose accounts or transactions were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the NAVs during the overstatement period. The method of determining the actual remediation payments to be paid to individual shareholders is subject to various factors that are not yet certain and information that is not yet readily available, including retrieval of beneficial owner data for Fund shares held in omnibus accounts. The Fund’s Board has directed Invesco to proceed with the remediation plan with any remediation payments to be made directly to affected shareholders outside of the Fund, and that no remediation payments be made to the Fund unless or until the Board were to approve so in the future. The Fund is estimated to have over paid $11,833,000 in asset-based fees to affiliates as a result of the overstatement of the deferred tax asset during the overstatement period, such amount which will be included in the calculation of remediation payments. Accordingly, all shareholder remediation payments are intended to be made directly to affected shareholders and not to the Fund and therefore no provision for such remediation payments have been made in the Fund’s financial statements. No remediation payments will be made by the Fund.
Note 13 – Subsequent Event
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments, including those held by the Fund.

Note 13 – Subsequent Event (Continued)
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, commonly referred to as the “CARES Act,” was signed into law on March 27, 2020 by President Trump. The Adviser is assessing the components of the Act and the impacts to the Fund should be immaterial.
A significant decline in oil and natural gas commodity prices occurred from December 31, 2019 through April 30, 2020. The decline in commodity prices after the period covered by this report end resulted in overall adverse effects on the oil and natural gas industry and may materially impact the valuations of MLPs and energy assets that operate in that industry.

Initial Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts |
(INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND)
At meetings held on December 14, 2018, 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 (i) an amendment to the Trust’s Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) to add Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund (the Fund), (ii) an amendment to 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. to add the Fund, (iii) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC to add the Fund, (iv) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited to add the Fund, and (v) an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts). Additionally, on March 26, 2019, the Board re-approved an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. following its change of control as a result of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Oppenheimer mutual funds (each, an Oppenheimer Fund), by Invesco Ltd. (the OFI Transaction). After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable 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 noted that it had previously approved establishing the Fund at the Board meeting held on October 23, 2018 and that the Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of an Oppenheimer Fund (the Acquired Fund) with the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks At the time of approval, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or any of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers except OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which was not affiliated with Invesco at that time.
In approving the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process for those funds as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. As part of the approval process, the Board reviewed and considered information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board reviewed comparative investment performance and fee data prepared by Invesco

INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
Advisers and an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees, and by independent legal counsel.
The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of December 14, 2018 and March 26, 2019 for the sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

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 to be 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 will provide these services. The Board’s review included consideration of the investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management to be employed in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds, including the Fund, following the OFI Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted 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

INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
on the markets and economies of various countries in which the Fund may invest, make recommendations regarding securities and assist with security trades. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board noted that the Fund would continue the historical performance information of the Acquired Fund following the consummation of the OFI Transaction. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that, at the closing of the OFI Transaction, management anticipates that the Fund will be managed pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies and by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts 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, 2017 to the performance of funds in the Morningstar performance universe and against the Fund’s benchmark index. The Board noted that the Fund is taxed as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, rather than as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their 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 Morningstar 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 at least two years from the closing date of the OFI Transaction 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 compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.

INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
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. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also 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 will share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from the 2018 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will continue to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Invesco Funds, and the profits estimated to be realized by the Fund, to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
58 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP INCOME FUND |
INITIAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY CONTRACTS (Continued) |
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 will receive periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers will receive from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees to be received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was be advised that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Distribution Sources Unaudited |
For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), the percentages attributed to each category are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the MLPs in which the Fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive IRS tax forms in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.
For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, and scroll down to the ‘Dividends’ table under ‘Analytics’. The Fund’s latest distribution information will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher.

Class A share’s performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. |
2. | Class R5 shares incepted on May 24, 2019. Performance prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A shares.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Visit oppenheimerfunds.com for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV). Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Performance shown at NAV does not include the applicable front-end sales charge, which would have reduced the performance. The current maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares is 5.50%, and the contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% for the 1-year period. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and R6 shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. As the result of a reorganization after

the close of business on May 24, 2019, the returns of the fund for periods on or prior to May 24, 2019 reflect performance of the Oppenheimer predecessor fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund due to a change in expenses and sales charge.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Alerian MLP Index. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock performance. The Alerian MLP Index is a float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index measuring master limited partnerships, whose constituents represent approximately 85% of total float-adjusted market capitalization. The index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.
Before investing in any of the Invesco funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.AIM.LINE (246-5463). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.
Shares of Invesco funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses (as restated, note 11)
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended May 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended May 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the 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 for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Those annualized expense ratios, based on the 6-month period ended May 31, 2019 for Classes A, C, Y, and R6 and for the period from after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (inception of offering) to May 31, 2019 for Class R and R5 are as follows:

CLASS C | 3.89 |
CLASS R | 3.36 |
CLASS Y | 2.84 |
CLASS R5 | 2.77 |

The expense ratios reflect voluntary waivers of expenses by the Fund. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers, if applicable.

Notes to Financial StatementsUnaudited |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate series of AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds) (the “Trust”) . The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company authorized to 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.
Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Fund operated as Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund (the “Acquired Fund” or “Predecessor Fund”). The Acquired Fund was reorganized after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares received the corresponding class of shares of the Fund and holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Class R6 shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares prior to the Reorganization is included with information relating to Class R6 Shares throughout this report. Class R and Class R5 shares commenced operations on the Reorganization Date.
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 and under certain circumstances load waived shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”). Class C shares are sold with a CDSC. Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations – Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND 23 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. For purposes of determining net asset value (“NAV”) per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end-of-day net asset value per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Pricing services generally value debt obligations assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the investment adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be
24 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain Fund investments.
Valuations change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
B. | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the investment adviser.
The Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class.
C. | Country Determination – For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund’s dividend distribution policy is intended to provide monthly distributions to its shareholders at a rate that over time is similar to the distribution rate the Fund receives from the master limited partnerships (”MLPs”) in which it invests. The Fund generally pays out dividends that over time approximate the distributions received from the Fund’s portfolio investments based on, among other considerations, distributions the Fund actually received from portfolio investments, distributions it would have received if it had been fully invested at all times, and estimated future cash flows. Such dividends are not tied to the Fund’s investment income and may not represent yield or investment return on the Fund’s portfolio. To the extent that the dividends paid exceed the distributions the Fund receives from its underlying investments, the Fund’s assets will be reduced. The Fund’s tendency to pay out a consistent dividend may change, and the Fund’s level of distributions may increase or decrease. |
The estimated characterization of the distributions paid will be either a qualified dividend or distribution (return of capital). This estimate is based on the Fund’s operating results during the period. The actual characterization of the distributions made during the period will not be determined until after the end of the fiscal year.
E. | Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund primarily invests in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs are publicly traded partnerships and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Fund principally invests in MLPs that derive their revenue primarily from businesses involved in the gathering, transporting, processing, treating, storing, refining, distributing, mining or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products or coal (“energy infrastructure MLPs”). The Fund is a partner in each MLP; accordingly, the Fund is required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions, expenses, and tax credits recognized by each MLP. The Fund is non-diversified and will concentrate its investments in the energy sector. Energy infrastructure MLPs are subject to a variety of industry specific risk factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including a decrease in production or reduced volumes of natural gas or other energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing; changes in energy commodity prices; a sustained reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products; depletion of natural gas reserves or other commodities if not replaced; natural disasters, extreme weather and environmental hazards; rising interest rates, how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated, environmental and safety controls, and the prices |
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND 27 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
they may charge for products and services. In addition, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price, and supply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and energy conservation may cause difficulties for energy infrastructure MLPs.
MLPs may be less liquid and subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than conventional publicly traded securities.
F. | Return of Capital – Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. The return of capital portion of the distribution is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments and increases net realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates will subsequently be revised and may materially differ primarily based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. |
G. Federal Income Taxes – The Fund does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, but will rather be taxed as a corporation. As a corporation, the Fund is obligated to pay federal, state and local income tax on taxable income. For the period ended May 31, 2019, the federal income tax rate is 21 percent. The Fund is currently using an estimated rate of 1.6 percent for state and local tax, net of federal tax expense.
The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) requirements were repealed with the enactment of H.R. 1, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Any past alternative minimum taxes paid by the fund do qualify for substantial refundability under the TCJA with AMT credit carryforwards becoming partially refundable prior to, or fully refundable for tax years beginning in 2021.

The reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% and the tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) follows (as restated, note 11):
| | Amount | | | % Effect | |
Application of Federal statutory income tax rate | | $ | 2,111,521 | | | | 21.00 | % |
State income taxes net of federal benefit | | | 160,878 | | | | 1.60 | % |

Change in valuation allowance | | | (2,150,925 | ) | | | (21.39 | %) |
Total income tax expense (benefit) | | $ | — | | | | 0.00 | % |
For the period ended May 31, 2019 the Fund’s tax effect on net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gain (loss) of 0% differed from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate of 22.60% due in large part to the change in valuation allowance primarily as a result of the change in unrealized appreciation (as restated, note 11).
The Fund intends to invest its assets primarily in MLP investments, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLP investments, the Fund reports its allocable share of the MLP investments’ taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The Fund’s tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Such temporary differences are principally: (i) taxes on unrealized gains/(losses), which are attributable to the temporary difference between fair market value and tax basis, (ii) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND 29 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes and (iii) the net tax benefit of accumulated net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such temporary differences are realized or otherwise settled. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether or not a valuation allowance is required. A valuation allowance is required if, based on the evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, it is more-likely-than-not some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
At May 31, 2019, the Fund determined a valuation allowance was required. The Fund’s assessment considered, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carryforwards were limited as a result of shareholder transactions or were likely to expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration was also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. Additionally, various tax law changes resulting from the enactment of the TCJA were considered by the Fund in assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. Specifically, the TCJA eliminated the net operating loss carryback ability and replaced the 20 year carryforward period with an indefinite carryforward period for any net operating losses arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017. The TCJA also established a limitation for any net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 to the lesser of the aggregate of available net operating losses or 80% of taxable income before any net operating loss utilization. Through the consideration of these factors, the Fund has determined that it is more likely than not that the Fund’s net deferred tax asset would not be realized. As a result, the Fund recorded a full valuation allowance with respect to its net deferred tax asset as of the period ended May 31, 2019 (as restated, note 11).
From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on or expirations of the Fund’s net operating losses and capital loss carryovers (if any) and changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material (as restated, note 11).

The Fund may rely, to some extent, on information provided by the MLPs, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to MLP units held in its portfolio, and to estimate its associated deferred tax liability or asset. Such estimates are made in good faith. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its tax liability or asset.
The Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of May 31, 2019, the Fund does not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Fund has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no significant impact on the Fund’s net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on its tax returns. Furthermore, management of the Fund is not aware of any uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly change in the next 12 months. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. All relevant periods are still open for examination.

Expiration Date | | | | |
11/30/2020 | | $ | 34,436,659 | |

11/30/2023 | | | 3,939,195 | |
Total | | $ | 74,953,045 | |
During the period ended May 31, 2019, the Fund estimates that it will utilize $1,875,416 of capital loss carryforward.
At May 31, 2019, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of Investments | | $ | 226,262,121 | |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 28,830,509 | |

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments | | $ | 9,982,923 | |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
H. | Expenses – Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund are charged to the operations of such class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses attributable to Class R5 and Class R6 are allocated to each share class based on relative net assets. Sub-accounting fees |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
attributable to Class R5 are charged to the operations of the class. Transfer agency fees and expenses and other shareholder recordkeeping fees and expenses relating to all other classes are allocated among those classes based on relative net assets. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets.
I. | Accounting Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
J. | Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
K. | Cash and Cash Equivalents – For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash and includes cash collateral received. |
Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | | Rate | |
First $3 billion | | | 1.25 | % |
Next $2 billion | | | 1.23 | % |
Over $5 billion | | | 1.20 | % |
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND 33 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates (Continued)
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the effective advisory fees incurred by the Fund was 1.25%. From the beginning of the fiscal period until the date of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $1,041,611 in advisory fees to OFI SteelPath, Inc. based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco 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 Funds.
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least May 31, 2021, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the to the extent necessary to limit the 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 1.83%, 2.60%, 2.08%, 1.61%, 1.51% and 1.46%, 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 expense after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (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 May 31, 2021. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (“Net Expenses”) will be higher than these amounts to the extent that the Fund incurs expenses excluded from the expense cap. Because the Fund’s deferred income tax expense/(benefit) and interest expense are excluded from the expense cap, the Fund’s Net Expenses for each class of shares is increased/(decreased) by the amount of this expense. See Note 11 and 12.

Note 2 – Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates (Continued)
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2021, to waive the advisory fee payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by the Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds.
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, advisory fees of $216,910 were voluntarily waived.
Prior to the Reorganization, the OFI SteelPath, Inc. had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class A, Class C, and Class Y shares to 2.00%. 2.75%, and 1.75%, respectively, of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Trust has entered into an administration and fund accounting agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMB”) pursuant to which UMB shall provide administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. For the six months, ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative fees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid administrative fees to UMB. Additionally, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby UMB Bank, n.a., serves as custodian to the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, UMB Bank, n.a. served as custodian to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. IIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub-accounting services and/or networking services. All fees payable by IIS to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services or sub-accounting services are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund paid transfer agent fees to OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into master distribution agreements with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class A, Class 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 “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the Class A, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares may be paid to furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own shares of such classes. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under the Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge. Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) impose a cap on the total sales charges, including asset-based sales

charges, that may be paid by any class of shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, expenses incurred under the plans are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution and service plan fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended May 31, 2019, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $21 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $72 from Class A and Class C shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders. From the beginning of the fiscal year to the date of the Reorganization, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. retained $7,356 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $0 and $2,443 from Class A and Class C Shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Adviser, IIS and/or IDI.
Note 3 – Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
Level 1 – Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable
36 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 3 – Additional Valuation Information (Continued)
inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.
As of May 31, 2019, all of the securities in this Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
Note 4 – Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures for the period June 1, 2018 to May 24, 2019, the Fund engaged in transactions with affiliates as listed. Securities purchases of $3,463,531 and securities sales of $8,028,496, which resulted in net realized loss of $(224,109).
For the period May 25, 2019 to May 31, 2019, the Fund did not engage in transactions with affiliates.
Note 5 – Trustees’ and Officer Fees and Benefits
Certain trustees have executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement pursuant to which they have the option to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Invesco and/or Invesco Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Note 6 – Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with UMB Bank n.a 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 – Investment Transactions
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the period ended May 31, 2019 was $74,099,748 and $82,320,802 respectively.

Note 9 – Borrowing Agreement
The Fund, along with Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund, and Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund (collectively, the “Trust”), is a borrower in a $700 million revolving credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a major lending institution (the “Lender”). The Fund is permitted to borrow
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND 39 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 9 – Borrowing Agreement (Continued)
up to the lesser of one-third of the Fund’s total assets, or the maximum amount permitted pursuant to the Fund’s investment limitations. As the Loan Agreement is not available exclusively to the Fund, the Fund may not be able to borrow all of its requested amounts at any given time. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement, if any, are invested by the Fund under the direction of the Adviser consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, and as such, the related investments are subject to normal market fluctuations and investment risks, including the risk of loss due to a decline in value. The borrowing, if any, is fully collateralized throughout the term of the borrowing with securities or other assets of the Fund. The Fund is not liable for borrowings of other Funds in the Trust. If applicable, securities that have been pledged as collateral for the borrowing are indicated in the Statement of Investments.
Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are charged interest at a calculated rate computed by the Lender based on the one month LIBOR rate plus 0.75% per annum. An unused commitment fee at the rate of 0.30% per annum is charged for any undrawn portion of the credit facility, and each series of the Trust will pay its pro rata share of this fee. A facility fee of 0.10% was charged on the commitment amount, and each series of the Trust paid its pro rata share of this fee. The borrowing is due November 15, 2019, unless another date is mutually agreed upon by the parties of the Loan Agreement. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Fund paid $57,531 in borrowing fees. The Fund’s payable on borrowing balance and interest rate at May 31, 2019 was $57,000,000 and 3.24%, respectively.
Information related to the Fund’s borrowings under the Loan Agreement for the six months ended May 31, 2019, is as follows:
Average Interest Rate | | Average Loan Balance | | | Number of Days Outstanding | | | Interest Expense Incurred | | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period | |
3.72% | | $ | 57,439,560 | | | | 182 | | | $ | 1,065,365 | | | $ | 62,000,000 | |
Note 10 – Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal periods ending after May 24, 2019. Prior to the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Predecessor Fund was a separate series of an unaffiliated investment company and its financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”).
Effective after the close of business on May 24, 2019, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit

scope or accounting principles. During the Predecessor Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through the close of business on May 24, 2019, there were no (1) disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report; or (2) “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Note 11 – Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of the May 31, 2019 financial statements, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset for the period ended May 31, 2019 and certain prior fiscal years had not been properly accounted for on the financial statements of the Fund.
A deferred tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets under U.S. GAAP involved judgment and required the subjective weighting of both positive and negative evidence relating to expectations about the recoverability of those assets. Management has reevaluated both positive and negative evidence through the issuance date of the restated financial statements regarding the use of certain sources of future taxable income on the recoverability of its deferred tax asset. Consequently, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the understatement of the valuation allowance and corresponding overstatement of the deferred tax asset and overstatement of the Fund’s net asset value. See Note 1G - Significant Accounting Policies - Federal Income Taxes for additional information related to the significant considerations in the evaluation of the Fund’s valuation allowance.
As a result, the Fund has restated its statement of assets and liabilities, including the statement of investments, as of May 31, 2019, and its statements of operations and cash flows for the period then ended, its statements of changes in net assets for the period ended May 31, 2019, and its financial highlights for the period ended May 31, 2019.
The restatement adjustments had no effect on the reported fair values or cost of investments as reported in the statement of investments. In addition to the restated financial statements, the information contained in Notes 1G, 11, 12 and 13 to the financial statements was added or restated as part of the restatement.

Note 12 – Remediation Note
Subsequent to the period end, the Fund determined that the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset included in the calculation of the net asset values per share (“NAV”) upon which the shareholders transacted had not been properly accounted for during the period that could include days from December 1, 2014 through March 6, 2020 (“overstatement period”). Specifically, it was determined that the realizability of the deferred tax asset did not meet the “more likely than not” evaluation criterion provided by ASC 740, Income Taxes, resulting in the overstatement of the deferred tax asset and corresponding understatement of the valuation allowance. As a result, the Fund’s NAVs have been corrected during certain days of the overstatement period.
Invesco is assessing the extent to which shareholders who transacted in the Fund during the overstatement period were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the Fund’s deferred tax asset, including the Fund’s overpayment of asset-based fees to affiliates. Invesco is preparing a remediation plan that contemplates payments by Invesco to shareholders whose accounts or transactions were negatively impacted by the overstatement of the NAVs during the overstatement period. The method of determining the actual remediation payments to be paid to individual shareholders is subject to various factors that are not yet certain and information that is not yet readily available, including retrieval of beneficial owner data for Fund shares held in omnibus accounts. The Fund’s Board has directed Invesco to proceed with the remediation plan with any remediation payments to be made directly to affected shareholders outside of the Fund, and that no remediation payments be made to the Fund unless or until the Board were to approve so in the future. The Fund is estimated to have over paid $1,038,000 in asset-based fees to affiliates as a result of the overstatement of the deferred tax asset during the overstatement period, such amount which will be included in the calculation of remediation payments. Accordingly, all shareholder remediation payments are
48 INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUnaudited / (Continued) |
Note 12 – Remediation Note (Continued)
intended to be made directly to affected shareholders and not to the Fund and therefore no provision for such remediation payments have been made in the Fund’s financial statements. No remediation payments will be made by the Fund.
Note 13 – Subsequent Event
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a public health emergency. COVID-19 has led to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets in general. COVID-19 may adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Because of the uncertainties on valuation, the global economy and business operations, values reflected in these financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sales of those investments, including those held by the Fund.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, commonly referred to as the “CARES Act,” was signed into law on March 27, 2020 by President Trump. The Adviser is assessing the components of the Act and the impacts to the Fund should be immaterial.
A significant decline in oil and natural gas commodity prices occurred from December 31, 2019 through April 30, 2020. The decline in commodity prices after the period covered by this report resulted in overall adverse effects on the oil and natural gas industry and may materially impact the valuations of MLPs and energy assets that operate in that industry.

Initial Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts |
(INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND)
At meetings held on December 14, 2018, 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 (i) an amendment to the Trust’s Master Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers and the investment advisory agreement) to add Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund (the Fund), (ii) an amendment to 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. to add the Fund, (iii) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Capital Management LLC to add the Fund, (iv) an amendment to the separate sub-advisory contract with Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited to add the Fund, and (v) an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (collectively, the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and the sub-advisory contracts). Additionally, on March 26, 2019, the Board re-approved an initial sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc. following its change of control as a result of the acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Oppenheimer mutual funds (each, an Oppenheimer Fund), by Invesco Ltd. (the OFI Transaction). After evaluating the factors discussed below, among others, the Board approved the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts and determined that the compensation payable 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 noted that it had previously approved establishing the Fund at the Board meeting held on October 23, 2018 and that the Fund was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of an Oppenheimer Fund (the Acquired Fund) with the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks At the time of approval, the Fund had no assets and no performance history and the portfolio managers were not employed by Invesco Advisers or any of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers except OppenheimerFunds, Inc., which was not affiliated with Invesco at that time.
In approving the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board followed a process similar to the process that it follows in annually reviewing and approving investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory contracts for the series portfolios of funds advised by Invesco Advisers and considered the information provided in the most recent annual review process for those funds as well as the information provided with respect to the Fund. As part of the approval process, the Board reviewed and considered information provided in response to detailed requests for information submitted to management by the independent Trustees with assistance from legal counsel to the independent Trustees. The Board reviewed comparative investment performance and fee data prepared by Invesco

Advisers and an independent mutual fund data provider. The Board was assisted in its review by the Senior Officer, an officer of the Invesco Funds who reports directly to the independent Trustees, and by independent legal counsel.
The discussion below serves as a summary of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Trustees’ review and conclusions are based on the comprehensive consideration of all information presented to them and are not the result of any single determinative factor. Moreover, one Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Trustee. This information is current as of December 14, 2018 and March 26, 2019 for the sub-advisory contract with OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
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 to be 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 will provide these services. The Board’s review included consideration of the investment process oversight and structure, credit analysis and investment risk management to be employed in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and will provide to the Fund, such as various back office support functions, third party oversight, internal audit, valuation, portfolio trading and legal and compliance. The Board also received and reviewed information about Invesco Advisers’ role as administrator of the Invesco Funds’ liquidity risk management program. The Board also reviewed and considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of the Invesco family of funds under the umbrella of Invesco Ltd., Invesco Advisers’ parent company, and noted Invesco Ltd.’s depth and experience in conducting an investment management business, as well as its commitment of financial and other resources to such business. The Board reviewed and considered information about the resources that Invesco Advisers intends to continue to commit to managing the Invesco family of funds, including the Fund, following the OFI Transaction. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
The Board reviewed the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the sub-advisory contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers who provide these services. The Board noted 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

The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts may benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services that may be provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory.
B. | Fund Investment Performance |
The Board noted that the Fund would continue the historical performance information of the Acquired Fund following the consummation of the OFI Transaction. The Board considered the performance of the Acquired Fund and the fact that, at the closing of the OFI Transaction, management anticipates that the Fund will be managed pursuant to substantially similar investment strategies and by substantially the same portfolio management team as managed the Acquired Fund. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts 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, 2017 to the performance of funds in the Morningstar performance universe and against the Fund’s benchmark index. The Board noted that the Fund is taxed as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, rather than as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustees also reviewed more recent Fund performance and this review did not change their 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 Morningstar 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 at least two years from the closing date of the OFI Transaction 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 compared the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations/waivers) to the effective advisory fee rates of other similarly managed third-party mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates, based on asset balances as of December 31, 2018.

Initial Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts(Continued) |
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. The Board considered Invesco’s reinvestment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure and cybersecurity. The Board also 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 will share directly in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the Invesco Funds. The Board noted that the Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from the 2018 contract renewal process provided by Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board considered the methodology used for calculating profitability and noted the periodic review of such methodology by an independent consultant. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers will continue to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Invesco Funds. The Board did not deem the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Invesco Funds, and the profits estimated to be realized by the Fund, to be excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided. The Board received information from Invesco Advisers demonstrating that Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits to be received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees to be received for providing administrative, transfer agency and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services to other Invesco Funds and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that these services will be provided to the Fund pursuant to written contracts that are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by the Board; and that the services are required for the operation of the Fund.
INVESCO OPPENHEIMER STEELPATH MLP ALPHA PLUS FUND 53 |
Initial Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts(Continued) |
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 will receive periodic reports from Invesco representing that these arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board did not deem the soft dollar arrangements to be inappropriate.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board considered that Invesco Advisers will receive advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Invesco Funds with respect to certain investments in the affiliated money market funds. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers will receive from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the amount of advisory fees to be received by Invesco Advisers from the Fund’s investment of cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is fair and reasonable.
The Board also considered that an affiliated broker may receive commissions for executing certain trades for the Fund. Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may use the affiliated broker to, among other things, control order routing and minimize information leakage, and the Board was be advised that such trades will be executed in compliance with rules under the federal securities laws and consistent with best execution obligations.

Distribution SourcesUnaudited |
For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), the percentages attributed to each category are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the MLPs in which the Fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive IRS tax forms in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.
For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, and scroll down to the ‘Dividends’ table under ‘Analytics’. The Fund’s latest distribution information will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

| ITEM 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. |
On May 24, 2019, certain investment advisor subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. assumed management responsibility from Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. (“OFI”) for 83 open-end mutual funds and 20 exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “Oppenheimer Funds”). Assumption of management responsibility for the Oppenheimer Funds was accomplished through the reorganization of each Oppenheimer Fund into a new Invesco shell fund (collectively, the “New Invesco Funds”) that did not have pre-existing assets (together, the “Reorganizations”). The Reorganizations were part of the acquisition by Invesco Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, “Invesco”) of the asset management business of OFI (including the Oppenheimer Funds) from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"), which was also consummated on May 24, 2019 (the “Acquisition”). Subsequent to the Acquisition, MassMutual became a significant shareholder of Invesco, and the Invesco Ltd. board of directors expanded by one director with the addition of a director selected by MassMutual.
Prior to the consummation of the Acquisition and the Reorganizations on May 24, 2019, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLC (“PwC”) completed an independence assessment to evaluate the services and relationships with OFI and its affiliates, which became affiliates of Invesco upon the closing of the Acquisition. The assessment identified the following relationship and services that are inconsistent with the auditor independence rules under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (“Rule 2-01”) if provided to an affiliate of an audit client. A retired PwC partner who receives a benefit from PwC that is not fully funded, served as a member of Audit Committee of the Boards of Trustees of certain Oppenheimer Funds prior to the Acquisition (the “Pre-Reorganization Relationship”). Additionally, PwC provided certain non-audit services including, expert legal services to one Oppenheimer Fund, custody of client assets in connection with payroll services, a non-audit service performed pursuant to a success-based fee, non-audit services in which PwC acted as an advocate on behalf of a MassMutual foreign affiliate and certain employee activities undertaken in connection with the provision of non-audit services for MassMutual and certain MassMutual foreign affiliates (collectively, the “Pre-Reorganization Services”).
PwC and the Audit Committees of the New Invesco Funds each considered the impact that the Pre-Reorganization Relationship and Services have on PwC’s independence with respect to the New Invesco Funds. On the basis of the nature of the relationship and services performed, and in particular the mitigating factors described below, PwC concluded that a reasonable investor, possessing knowledge of all the relevant facts and circumstances regarding the Pre-Reorganization Relationship and Services, would conclude that the Pre-Reorganization Relationship and Services do not impair PwC’s ability to exhibit the requisite objectivity and impartiality to report on the financial statements of the New Invesco Funds for the years ending May 31, 2019 – April 30, 2020 (“PwC’s Conclusion”).
The Audit Committees of the Boards of Trustees of the New Invesco Funds, based upon PwC’s Conclusion and the concurrence of Invesco, considered the relevant facts and circumstances including the mitigating factors described below and, after careful consideration, concluded that PwC is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment in connection with its audits of the financial statements of the New Invesco Funds that the respective Boards of Trustees oversee.
Mitigating factors that PwC and the Audit Committees considered in reaching their respective conclusions included, among others, the following factors:
| • | none of the Pre-Reorganization Relationship or Services created a mutuality of interest between PwC and the New Invesco Funds; |
| • | PwC will not act in a management or employee capacity for the New Invesco Funds or their affiliates during any portion of PwC’s professional engagement period; |
| • | other than the expert legal services, Pre-Reorganization Services that have been provided to OFI, MassMutual and their affiliates do not have any impact on the financial statements of the New Invesco Funds; |
| • | as it relates to the expert legal services, while the service provided by PwC related to litigation involving one Oppenheimer Fund, the impact of the litigation on the Oppenheimer Fund’s financial statements was based upon OFI’s decision, and OFI management represented that the PwC service was not considered a significant component of its decision; |
| • | while certain employees of OFI who were involved in the financial reporting process of the Oppenheimer Funds will be employed by Invesco subsequent to the Reorganizations, existing officers of other Invesco Funds will serve as Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer or equivalent roles for the New Invesco Funds, and are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of all financial statement assertions for the entirety of the financial reporting periods for the New Invesco Funds; |
| • | the Pre-Reorganization Services giving rise to the lack of independence were provided to, or entered into with, OFI, MassMutual and their affiliates at a time when PwC had no independence restriction with respect to these entities; |
| • | with the exception of the expert legal service provided to one Oppenheimer Fund, none of the Pre-Reorganization Services affected the operations or financial reporting of the New Invesco Funds; |
| • | the Pre-Reorganization Services provided by PwC to OFI, MassMutual and their affiliates were performed by persons who were not, and will not be, part of the audit engagement team for the New Invesco Funds; and |
| • | the fees associated with the Pre-Reorganization Services were not material to MassMutual, Invesco or PwC. |

The Registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Registrant’s management, including the PEO and the PFO, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. |
On May 24, 2019, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”) acquired sponsorship and management responsibilities from Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. for the Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund), Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund), Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund), and Invesco Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund (formerly known as Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Income Fund) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, referred to as the “Funds”) each of which resulted from the reorganization of certain predecessor funds (Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Select 40 Fund, Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Fund, Oppenheimer SteelPath MLP Alpha Plus Fund and Oppenheimer Steel Path MLP Income Fund) (collectively referred to as the “Predecessor Funds”) into the Funds. In connection with the original filing of the Predecessor Funds’ Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018 on February 5, 2019, as amended on March 29, 2019, an evaluation was performed to assess the effectiveness of the Predecessor Funds’ disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Act”), as amended. Based on their evaluation, the Predecessor Funds’ PEO and PFO found, as of November 30, 2018, the Predecessor Funds’ disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the Predecessor Fund in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to Predecessor Funds’ management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the rules and forms adopted by the SEC. Similarly, in connection with the original filing of the Registrant’s Form N-CSR for the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2019, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the officers of the Registrant, including the PEO and PFO, to assess the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act. Based on that evaluation, the Registrant’s officers, including the PEO and PFO, concluded that as of July 22, 2019, the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure: (1) that information required to be disclosed by the Funds on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC; and (2) that material information relating to the Funds is made known to the PEO and PFO as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required decisions.
However, subsequent to the original filing of the Predecessor Funds’ Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018, and the original filing of the Funds’ Form N-CSR for the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2019 and after the reorganization of the Predecessor Funds into the Funds, a material error was identified which resulted in an understatement of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and therefore an overstatement of the Funds’ net deferred tax assets and an overstatement in the net asset values originally reported in the Predecessor Funds’ financial statements for the semi-annual periods ended May 31, 2016 through May 31, 2018, the fiscal years ended November 30, 2015 through November 30, 2018 and the Funds’ financial statements for the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2019. Management of the Registrant adopted the procedure to determine the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, as designed by management of the Predecessor Funds, as it was intended. Management of the Registrant previously concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2019, but due to a material weakness related to the determination of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which existed as of May 31, 2019, it was concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2019.
A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness resulted in the misstatement of the deferred tax assets and related financial disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements for the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2019and the Predecessor Funds’ financial statements for the semi-annual periods ended May 31, 2016 through May 31, 2018 and the restatement of the deferred tax assets and related financial disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements for the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2019, which include a revision of financial data for fiscal years ending November 30, 2015 through November 30, 2018. Additionally, this material weakness could result in misstatements of the deferred tax assets and related financial disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Management’s Remediation Plan
Subsequent to the identification of the issue described above, management has developed a plan to remediate the material weakness described herein. Management will strengthen the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting by enhancing the training of those performing the controls and adding a level of review by a subject matter expert to assess the assumptions used to determine the valuation allowance for the Funds’ deferred tax assets.
| (b) | Management did not make a final determination that the historical accounting was incorrect until March 2020. Consequently, the then-existing control system remained in place such that there were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act) that occurred during the semi-annual period ended May 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. |
