Important Notice To
Invesco Closed-End Fund Shareholders
Questions & Answers
We are providing a brief overview of the issues to be voted on at the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We ask that you read the complete Joint Proxy Statement for additional information.
Q. Why is a shareholder meeting being held?
A.Each Invesco closed-end fund listed on the enclosed Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, which requires each Fund to hold an annual meeting of shareholders to elect Trustees. You are being asked to elect Trustees for the Board(s) of Trustees of your Fund(s).
Q. Why am I being asked to elect Trustees in multiple classes for each Fund?
A. Each Fund currently is overseen by a Board of Trustees (each a “Board” and, collectively, the “Board”) comprised of eight Trustees. Invesco Advisers, Inc. currently manages 127 other Invesco-branded open-end and closed-end funds, each of which is overseen by a board of trustees (each a “Houston Board” and, collectively, the “Houston Board”) comprised of 14 trustees. In order to achieve certain operational efficiencies and reduce expenses for the Funds, each Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of each Fund it oversees and such Fund’s shareholders to consolidate the Board’s membership with the membership of the Houston Board (the “Board Consolidation”). In order to effect the Board Consolidation, each Board has approved an increase in its size and has nominated for election to the Board at the annual meeting those trustees on the Houston Board that do not currently serve as Trustees of the Funds to form a consolidated board of trustees (the “Consolidated Board”). In addition, the current members of each Board who were scheduled to stand for election this year and who need to stand for election to facilitate the Consolidation have been nominated for election at the annual meeting. Certain members of the Board will not serve on the Consolidated Board to facilitate the Board Consolidation. If all the Nominees are elected to the Board of each Fund, the Consolidated Board will serve as the board of trustees for each Invesco-branded registered investment company that is not an exchange traded fund or a unit investment trust.
Q. How does the Board recommend that I vote?
A.The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the Nominees listed on the enclosed proxy card.
Q. Will my vote make a difference?
A. Yes, your vote is important and will make a difference no matter how many shares you own. We encourage all shareholders to participate in the governance of their funds.
Q. How do I vote my proxy?
A.You may cast your vote by mail, phone or internet. To vote by mail, please mark your vote on the enclosed proxy card and sign, date and return the card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you choose to vote via phone or internet, please refer to the instructions found on the proxy card accompanying the Joint Proxy Statement. To vote by phone or internet, you will need the “control number” that appears on the proxy card.
Q. Why does the Joint Proxy Statement list several closed-end funds?
A.Shareholders of the Funds are voting on similar proposals and it is cost effective to have a joint proxy statement and one meeting.
Q. Where do I call for more information?
A.Please contact us at the 24-hour Automated Investor Line at 1-800-341-2929 or on the internet at www.invesco.com/us.

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To be Held August 29, 2014
INTRODUCTION
This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the respective Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board” or the “Board of Trustees”) of each Invesco closed-end fund listed above (the “Funds”) of proxies to be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds, and all adjournments, postponements or delays thereof (the “Meeting”), to be held at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309, on August 29, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight time. The approximate mailing date of this Joint Proxy Statement and accompanying form of proxy is July 24, 2014.
Participating in the Meeting are holders of common shares of beneficial interest (the “Common Shares”) and, where applicable, the holders of preferred shares of beneficial interest (the “Preferred Shares”), of each Fund as set forth inAnnex A to this Joint Proxy Statement. The Common Shares and the Preferred Shares of the Funds sometimes are referred to herein collectively as the “Shares.” The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the shareholders of the Funds because the shareholders of the Funds are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. The Board has determined that the use of a joint proxy statement for the Meeting is in the best interest of the shareholders of each Fund. In the event that a shareholder of any Fund present at the Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment of the meeting of such Fund to a time immediately after the Meeting so that such Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of the adjournment.
Annex A lists the New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol by which the Funds sometimes are referred to in this Joint Proxy Statement. Please refer toAnnex A for any questions you may have regarding whether your Fund is participating at the Meeting, defined terms relating to the Funds and abbreviated Fund names.
The Board has fixed the close of business on July 8, 2014 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of holders of Shares of each Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. The number of issued and outstanding Common Shares and Preferred Shares of each Fund as of the Record Date is shown inAnnex A to this Joint Proxy Statement.
The following table summarizes the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting and the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the Proposals.
Funds: | Trustee Nominees for Election: | Shareholders Entitled to Vote: | ||
Proposal 1(a): | ||||
VKI, VCV, VTA, VMO, VKQ, VPV, VGM, VTN and VVR | David C. Arch, James T. Bunch, Bruce L. Crockett, Rodney F. Dammeyer, Albert R. Dowden, Jack M. Fields, Martin L. Flanagan, Dr. PremaMathai-Davis, Dr. Larry Soll, Raymond Stickel, Jr., Philip A. Taylor and Suzanne H. Woolsey | Common Shareholders and Preferred Shareholders, voting together | ||
Proposal 1(b): | ||||
VKI, VCV, VTA, VMO, VKQ, VPV, VGM, VTN and VVR | Frank S. Bayley and Hugo F. Sonnenschein | Preferred Shareholders, voting separately | ||

Flanagan, Dr. Prema Mathai-Davis, Dr. Larry Soll, Hugo F. Sonnenschein, Raymond Stickel, Jr., Philip A. Taylor and Suzanne H. Woolsey | Common Shareholders |
Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its most recent annual report (and the most recent semiannual report succeeding the annual report, if any) to any shareholder upon request. Any such request should be directed to the respective Fund by calling 1-800-341-2929 or by writing to the respective Fund at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.
Voting
Shareholders of a Fund on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per Share with respect to any Proposal submitted to the shareholders of the Fund, with no Share having cumulative voting rights. The voting requirement for passage of a particular Proposal depends on the nature of the Proposal.
With respect to Proposal 1(a), holders of Common Shares and holders of Preferred Shares will vote together as a single class for the respective Nominees. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares and the holders of Preferred Shares of such Fund, voting together as a single class.
With respect to Proposal 1(b), holders of Preferred Shares will vote as a separate class for the respective Nominees. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of Preferred Shares of such Fund, voting as a separate class.
With respect to Proposal 1(c), holders of Common Shares will vote for the respective Nominees. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares.
The Board of Trustees of each Fund recommends that you cast your vote FOR each of the Trustee Nominees listed in this Joint Proxy Statement.
An unfavorable vote on a Proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation of such Proposal by another Fund if the Proposal is approved by the shareholders of the other Fund. An unfavorable
2
vote on a Proposal by the shareholders of a Fund will not affect such Fund’s implementation of other Proposals that receive a favorable vote. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of Trustees.
All Shares represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted “FOR” each Proposal as to which they are entitled to be voted. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., where a nominee, such as a broker, holding shares for beneficial owners responds but does not vote on a Proposal because the nominee lacks beneficial owner direction or does not exercise discretionary authority) are not treated as votes “FOR” a Proposal. With respect to each Proposal, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against a Trustee Nominee and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on a Trustee Nominee. A majority of the outstanding Shares of a Fund entitled to vote must be present in person or by proxy to have a quorum for such Fund to conduct business at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be deemed present for quorum purposes.
Broker-dealer firms holding Shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on the Proposal before the Meeting. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), such broker-dealer firms may for certain “routine” matters, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by the Board to vote if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. Each Fund’s Proposal is a “routine” matter and beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their Shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of the Proposal. A properly executed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s Shares should be voted on the Proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such Shares in favor of the Proposal. Broker-dealers who are not members of the NYSE may be subject to other rules, which may or may not permit them to vote your Shares without instruction. We urge you to provide instructions to your broker or nominee to ensure that your votes may be counted.
Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with the respective Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Merely attending the Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.
The Funds do not know of any business other than that mentioned in Proposal 1 of the Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named on the enclosed proxy to vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment. In the event a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the Proposals with respect to one or more Funds or Proposals are not received, proxies (including abstentions and broker non-votes) would be voted in favor of one or more adjournments of the Meeting of the concerned Fund with respect to such Proposal to permit further solicitation of proxies, provided they determine that such an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the interest of shareholders based on a consideration of all relevant factors, including the nature of the relevant Proposal, the percentage of votes then cast, the percentage of negative votes then cast, the nature of the proposed solicitation activities and the nature of the reasons for such further solicitation.
Attending the Meeting
If you intend to attend the Meeting in person and you are a record holder of a Fund’s Shares, in order to gain admission you must show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license. If you intend to attend the Meeting in person and you hold your Shares through a bank, broker or other custodian, in order to gain admission you must show photographic identification, such as your driver’s license, and satisfactory proof of ownership of Shares of a Fund, such as your voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) or broker’s statement indicating ownership as of a recent date.
3
If you hold your Shares in a brokerage account or through a bank or other nominee, you will not be able to vote your Shares in person at the Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it at the Meeting.
You may contact the Funds at 1-800-341-2929 to obtain directions to the site of the Meeting.

The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.

PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
Proposed Board Consolidation
Each Fund currently is overseen by the Board of Trustees, which is comprised of eight Trustees. Invesco Advisers, Inc. currently manages 127 other Invesco-branded open-end and closed-end funds, each of which is overseen by a board of trustees (each a “Houston Board” and, collectively, the “Houston Board”) comprised of 14 trustees. In order to seek to achieve certain operational efficiencies and to reduce expenses for the Funds, each Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of each Fund it oversees and such Fund’s shareholders to consolidate the Board’s membership with the membership of the Houston Board (the “Board Consolidation”). In order to effect the Board Consolidation, each Board has approved an increase in its size and has nominated for election to the Board at the annual meeting those trustees on the Houston Board that do not currently serve as Trustees of the Funds to form a consolidated board of trustees (the “Consolidated Board”). In addition, the current members of each Board that were scheduled to stand for election this year or that need to stand for election to facilitate the Board Consolidation have also been nominated for election at the annual meeting. If all the Nominees are elected to the Board of each Fund, the Consolidated Board will serve as the board of trustees for each Invesco registered investment company that is not an exchange traded fund or a unit investment trust.
Ms. Linda Hutton Heagy and Messrs. R. Craig Kennedy and Colin D. Meadows, currently Trustees of the Funds, will resign from the Boards effective as of the Meeting and will not serve on the Consolidated Board in order to facilitate the Board Consolidation. Mr. Jerry D. Choate, currently a Trustee of the Funds, will retire from the Board, effective as of the Meeting, pursuant to the Board’s retirement policy.
In reaching the conclusion that the Consolidation is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, the Board considered a number of factors, including the following:
• | potential benefits to shareholders, including opportunities for enhanced efficiency associated with uniform board oversight, such as reducing the need to have separate meetings and materials to consider the same or substantially similar matters, and the alignment and streamlining of resources needed to support board reporting and interaction in areas such as compliance and regulatory and risk management oversight; |
• | the Adviser’s estimate of cost savings to each Fund of approximately one basis point annually; |
• | the Adviser’s commitment, with the exception of the expiration of certain investment management fee waivers and total expense cap waivers, that the Adviser and its affiliates will not recommend an increase to the costs and/or fees charged to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates which are within the control of the Adviser and its affiliates for a period of at least two (2) years after the Board Consolidation; |
• | the Funds are not currently, and will not in the future be, responsible for any accruals or obligations related to the Retirement Plan of the funds currently overseen by the Houston Board that were incurred prior to the Consolidation, although the Trustees of the Funds on the Consolidated Board would be permitted to defer future compensation under a voluntary deferred compensation plan after the Consolidation; |
• | the independent status of those Nominees who will serve as Independent Trustees; |
• | the governance of the Funds under the oversight of the Consolidated Board, including that the Funds will be overseen by an investment sub-committee of the Consolidated Board that will oversee the other closed-end funds and fixed income funds managed by the Adviser, which committee’s membership will include two current or former trustees of the Funds, and the Adviser’s recommendation to the consolidated board that continuity and experience with closed-end funds be primary considerations for membership on such investment sub-committee; |
5
• | the proposed process, timing and costs for implementing the Board Consolidation, including the Adviser’s commitment to bear non-routine expenses associated with the Meeting in excess of customary costs associated with an annual shareholder meeting; and |
• | in order to conform the membership of the Houston Board to that of the Board, it is expected that a vacancy will be created on the Houston Board and Suzanne W. Woolsey will be appointed to fill the vacancy. |
Members of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board considered each Nominee and recommended his or her nomination to the Consolidated Board of each Fund. Based on this recommendation, the Board that currently oversees each Fund nominated each of the Nominees to the Consolidated Board of each Fund.
It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the Shares represented by them for the election of the respective Nominees listed unless the proxy is marked otherwise.
Composition of the Consolidated Board
If all of the Nominees are elected, the Trustees that will serve on the Consolidated Board and classes in which they will serve for each Fund are shown in the table below:
Class I | Class II | Class III | ||
Albert R. Dowden | David C. Arch | James T. Bunch | ||
Prema Mathai-Davis | Frank S. Bayley* | Bruce L. Crockett | ||
Hugo F. Sonnenschein* | Larry Soll | Rodney F. Dammeyer | ||
Raymond Stickel, Jr. | Philip A. Taylor** | Jack M. Fields | ||
Wayne W. Whalen** | Suzanne H. Woolsey | Martin L. Flanagan** |
* | With respect to those Funds with outstanding Preferred Shares (VKI, VCV, VTA, VMO, VKQ, VPV, VGM, VTN, and VVR), Messrs. Bayley and Sonnenschein are designated to be elected by the holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class. |
** | Interested person of each Fund. |
Class I Trustees will serve until the 2016 annual shareholder meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Class II Trustees will serve until the 2017 annual shareholders meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Class III Trustees will serve until the 2015 annual shareholder meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Messrs. Bayley and Whalen will retire from the Consolidated Board effective December 31, 2014.
The Declaration of Trust of each Fund provides that the Board of Trustees shall consist of Trustees divided into three classes, the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible. This type of classification may prevent replacement of a majority of Trustees of a Fund for up to a two-year period. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, applicable law of the state of Delaware, where each Fund is organized, each Fund’s Declaration of Trust and each Fund’s Bylaws. In the case of any vacancy on the Consolidated Board, the Declaration of Trust of each Fund provides that the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy by appointing a replacement to serve for the remainder of the tern or reduce the size of the Consolidated Board. In the case of a vacancy of a Trustee of a Fund designated to be elected by the holders of Preferred Shares of such Fund, voting as a separate class (a “Preferred Shares Trustee”), the remaining Trustees may designate a Trustee to serve as a Preferred Shares Trustee for the remainder of the term.
6
Shareholder Approval
With respect to Proposal 1(a), holders of Common Shares and holders of Preferred Shares will vote together as a single class for the respective Nominees. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares and the holders of Preferred Shares of such Fund, voting together as a single class.
With respect to Proposal 1(b), holders of Preferred Shares will vote for the respective Nominees as a separate class. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Shares.
With respect to Proposal 1(c), holders of Common Shares will vote for the respective Nominees. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to elect each Nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected by the holders of Common Shares of such Fund, voting as a separate class.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE TRUSTEE NOMINEES.

The business and affairs of each Fund are managed under the direction of its Board of Trustees. This section of this Joint Proxy Statement provides you with information regarding each incumbent Trustee and Nominee that is proposed to serve on the Consolidated Board.
The tables below list the incumbent Trustees and the Nominees that are proposed to serve on the Consolidated Board, their principal occupations, other directorships held by them and their affiliations, if any, with the Adviser or its affiliates.

Shareholder Communications
Shareholders may send communications to each Fund’s Board of Trustees. Shareholders should send communications intended for the Board by addressing the communication directly to the Board (or individual Board members) and/or otherwise clearly indicating in the salutation that the communication is for the Board (or individual Board members) and by sending the communication to either the applicable Fund’s office or directly to such Board member(s) at the address specified for such Trustee or Nominee above. Other shareholder communications received by any Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Board only at management’s discretion based on the matters contained therein.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD
The following includes information about the current structure of the Board, its leadership, its functioning and composition.
Board Qualifications, Diversity and Leadership Structure
The Board of each Fund seeks to provide shareholders with a highly qualified, highly capable and diverse group of Board members reflecting the diversity of investor interests underlying the Funds and with a diversity of backgrounds, experience and skills that the Board considers desirable and necessary to its primary goal — protecting and promoting shareholders’ interests. While the Board does not require that its members meet specific qualifications, the Board has historically sought to recruit and continues to value individual Board members that add to the overall diversity of the Board. The objective is to bring varied backgrounds, experience
18
and skills reflective of the wide range of the shareholder base and provide both contrasting and complementary skills relative to the other Board members to best protect and promote shareholders’ interests. Board diversity means bringing together different viewpoints, professional experience, investment experience, education, and other skills. As can be seen in the individual biographies above, the Board brings together a wide variety of business experience (including chairman/chief executive officer-level and director-level experience and board committee experience of several different types of organizations); varied public and private investment-related experience; not-for-profit experience; customer service and other back office operations experience; a wide variety of accounting, finance, legal, and marketing experience; academic experience; consulting experience; and government, political and military service experience. All of this experience together results in important leadership and management knowledge, skills and perspective that provide the Board understanding and insight into the operations of the Funds and add range and depth to the Board.
As part of its governance oversight, the Board conducts an annual self-effectiveness survey which from year to year includes, among other things, evaluating the Board’s (and each committee’s) agendas, meetings and materials, conduct of the meetings, committee structures, interaction with management, strategic planning, etc., and also includes evaluating the Board’s (and each committee’s) size, composition, qualifications (including diversity of characteristics, experience and subject matter expertise) and overall performance. The Board evaluates all of the foregoing and does not believe any single factor or group of factors controls or dominates the qualifications of any individual trustee or the qualifications of the trustees as a group. After considering all factors together, including each Trustee’s or Nominee’s background, experience and skills summarized below, the Board believes that each Trustee or Nominee is qualified to serve as a Trustee of the Funds.
The Board’s leadership structure consists of a Chairman of the Board and two standing committees, each described below (and ad hoc committees when necessary), with each committee staffed by Independent Trustees and an Independent Trustee as Committee Chairman. The Chairman of the Board is not the principal executive officer of the Funds. The Chairman of the Board is an “interested person” (as that term is defined by the 1940 Act) of the Funds for the reasons described above in footnote 5 to the Trustee biographies. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, periodically reviews the Board’s leadership structure for the Funds, including the interested person status of the Chairman, and has concluded the leadership structure is appropriate for the Funds. In considering the chairman position, the Board has considered and/or reviewed (i) the Funds’ organizational documents, (ii) the role of a chairman (including, among other things, setting the agenda and managing information flow, running the meeting and setting the proper tone), (iii) the background, experience and skills of the Chairman (including his independence from the Adviser), (iv) alternative structures (including combined principal executive officer/chairman, selecting one of the Independent Trustees as chairman and/or appointing an independent lead trustee), (v) rule proposals in recent years that would have required all fund complexes to have an independent chairman, (vi) the Chairman’s past and current performance, and (vii) the potential conflicts of interest of the Chairman (and noted their periodic review as part of their annual self-effectiveness survey and as part of an independent annual review by the Funds’ audit committee of fund legal fees related to such potential conflict). In conclusion, the Board and the Independent Trustees have expressed their continuing support of Mr. Whalen as Chairman.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
Management of the Funds seeks to provide investors with disciplined investment teams, a research-driven culture, careful long-term perspective and a legacy of experience. Thus, the goal for each Fund is attractive long-term performance consistent with the objectives and investment policies and risks for such Fund, which in turn means, among other things, good security selection, reasonable costs and quality shareholder services. An important sub-component of delivering this goal is risk management — understanding, monitoring and controlling the various risks in making investment decisions at the individual security level as well as portfolio management decisions at the overall Fund level. The key participants in the risk management process of the Funds are each Fund’s portfolio managers, the Adviser’s senior management, the Adviser’s risk management group, the Adviser’s compliance group, the Funds’ chief compliance officer, and the various support functions
19
(i.e. the custodian, the Funds’ accountants (internal and external), and legal counsel). While the Funds are subject to other risks such as valuation, custodial, accounting, shareholder servicing, etc., each Fund’s primary risk is understanding, monitoring and controlling the various risks in making portfolio management decisions consistent with the Fund’s objective and policies. The Board’s role is oversight of management’s risk management process. At regular quarterly meetings, the Board reviews Fund performance and factors, including risks, affecting such performance by Fund with the Adviser’s senior management, and the Board typically meets at least once a year with the portfolio managers of each Fund. At regular quarterly meetings, the Board reviews reports showing monitoring done by the Adviser’s risk management group, by the Adviser’s compliance group, the Funds’ chief compliance officer and reports from the Funds’ support functions.
Board Committees and Meetings
Each Fund’s Board of Trustees has two standing committees (an audit committee and a governance committee). Each committee is comprised solely of “Independent Trustees”, which is defined for purposes herein as trustees who: (1) are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined by the 1940 Act and (2) are “independent” of the respective Fund as defined by the New York Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards.
Each Board’s audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Choate and Kennedy (Chair) and Ms. Heagy. In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these Trustees also meets the additional independence requirements for audit committee members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The audit committee makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees concerning the selection of each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with such independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of each Fund’s annual audit and considers any comments which the independent registered public accounting firm may have regarding each Fund’s financial statements, accounting records or internal controls. Each Board of Trustees has adopted a formal written charter for its audit committee which sets forth the audit committee’s responsibilities. The audit committee charter of each Fund is available at www.invesco.com/us.
The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the financial statements of each Fund with management as well as with the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees). The audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required under the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Ethics & Independence Rule 3526 and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence. Based on this review, the audit committee recommended to the Board of each Fund that the Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the most recent fiscal year for filing with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Each member of the audit committee is deemed an audit committee financial expert.
Each Board’s governance committee currently consists of Messrs. Arch and Sonnenschein and Ms. Woolsey (Chair). In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these Trustees also meets the additional independence requirements for nominating committee members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The governance committee identifies individuals qualified to serve as Independent Trustees on the Board and on committees of the Board, advises the Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees, develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the respective Fund, monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board, and acts as the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures, committee policies and procedures and codes of ethics. The governance committee charter for each of the Funds, which includes each Fund’s nominating policies, is available at www.invesco.com/us. The Independent Trustees of the respective Fund select and nominate Independent Trustee nominees for the respective Fund. While the Independent Trustees of the respective Fund expect to be able to continue to identify
20
from their own resources an ample number of qualified candidates for the Board of Trustees as they deem appropriate, they will consider nominations from shareholders to the Board. Nominations from shareholders should be in writing and sent to the Independent Trustees as described below.
During the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, the Board of each Fund met 6 times, the audit committee of each Fund met 6 times and the governance committee of each Fund met 4 times. During such fiscal year, each of the Trustees of such Funds during the period such Trustee served as a Trustee attended at least 75% of the meetings of the respective Board of Trustees and committee meetings thereof of which such Trustee was a member.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONSOLIDATED BOARD
If the Consolidation is completed, it is anticipated that the Consolidated Board will have a governance structure similar to the current governance structure of the Houston Board, although the Consolidated Board could choose to modify the governance structure of the Consolidated Board at any time and no assurance can be given that the governance structure of the Consolidated Board will be adopted for the Funds or be the same as the current governance structure of the Houston Board. Information relating to the current governance structure of the Houston Board is set forth below.
Houston Board Leadership Structure
The Houston Board has appointed an independent trustee to serve in the role of Chair. The Chair’s primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Houston Board and the identification of information to be presented to the Houston Board and matters to be acted upon by the Houston Board. The Chair also presides at all meetings of the Houston Board and acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other trustees generally between meetings. The Chair may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Houston Board from time to time. Except for any duties specified herein or pursuant to a Houston Fund’s charter documents, the designation of Chair does not impose on such independent trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability otherwise imposed on such person as a member of the Houston Board, generally. As discussed below, the Houston Board has established committees to assist the Houston Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.
Houston Board Role in Risk Oversight
The Houston Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at regular meetings of each of the Investments, Audit, Compliance and Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight committees (as further described below) (the “Houston Committees”). These Houston Committees in turn report to the full Houston Board and recommend actions and approvals for the full Houston Board to take.
The Adviser, or its affiliates, prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Houston Board as a whole or the Houston Committees may also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Houston Board, a Houston Committee or the Senior Officer of the Houston Funds (the “Senior Officer”). It is anticipated that the Senior Officer would be made the Senior Officer of the Funds following the Consolidation. In addition, the Houston Audit Committee meets regularly with Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within the Adviser that affect the Houston Funds.
The Houston Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of the Houston Funds. In addition, the portfolio managers of the Houston Funds meet regularly with the sub-committees of the Houston Investment Committee to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, such as the impact on the Houston Funds of the investment in particular securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that a Houston Fund changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Houston Fund’s risk profile, the Houston Board generally is consulted in advance with respect to such change.
21
The Adviser provides regular written reports to the Houston Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight Committee that enable such committee to monitor the valuation of securities in a particular portfolio, the reasons for the fair valuation and the methodology used to arrive at the fair value. Such reports also include information concerning illiquid securities within a Houston Fund’s portfolio.
The Houston Audit Committee reviews valuation procedures and pricing results with the Houston Fund’s independent auditors in connection with such committee’s review of the results of the audit of the Houston Fund’s year-end financial statements. In addition, the Houston Audit Committee meets regularly with Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within the Adviser that affect the Houston Funds.
The Houston Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by the Adviser’s compliance group and meets regularly with each Houston Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. The Houston Compliance Committee recommends and the Houston Board adopts compliance policies and procedures for the Houston Funds and approves such procedures for the Houston Funds’ service providers. The compliance policies and procedures are specifically designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.

Fund Shareholder Information
As of the Record Date, to the knowledge of the Funds, no shareholder owned beneficially more than 5% of a class of a Fund’s outstanding Shares except as set forth onAnnex D.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 30(f) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, require each of the Funds’ Trustees, officers, investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Fund’s equity securities to file forms with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Fund Shares. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all such forms they file.
Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that during its last fiscal year, its Trustees, officers, the Adviser and affiliated persons of the Adviser complied with the applicable filing requirements except as follows: VBF, VTA and VVR: one late filing each in connection with the purchase of securities by Mr. Arch; VPV, VTN and VVR: one late filing each in connection with the purchase of securities by Ms. Heagy; and VMO: two late filings each in connection with fund mergers into VMO by Messrs. Arch, Choate and Whalen; and one late filing each in connection with fund mergers into VMO by Ms. Heagy and Messrs. Kennedy and Sonnenschein.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees of each Fund, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of any Fund (as defined by the 1940 Act), appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund. It is not expected that representatives of PWC will attend the Meeting. In the event representatives of PWC do attend the Meeting, they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to answer appropriate questions.
Audit and Other Fees
Each Fund was billed the amounts listed onAnnex E by PWC during such Fund’s two prior fiscal years. In accordance with the adopted pre-approval policies and procedures, the audit committee has pre-approved 100% of all audit and non-audit services provided to each Fund by its independent registered public accounting firm. The Board’s pre-approval policies and procedures are included as part of the Board’s audit committee charter, which is available at www.invesco.com/us.
Audit Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed to each Fund by PWC for professional services rendered for the audit of such Fund’s annual financial statements are set forth onAnnex E.
Audit-Related Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed to each Fund by PWC for professional services rendered for audit-related services are set forth onAnnex E.
29
Tax Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed by PWC and approved by the audit committee of each Fund for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are set forth onAnnex E.
All Other Fees
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate fees billed by PwC and approved by the audit committee of each Fund for professional services rendered for all other services are set forth onAnnex E. All of the other services for the two most recently completed fiscal years were approved by the audit committee in accordance with its pre-approval policies and procedures.
Covered Entities
For each Fund’s two most recently completed fiscal years, the aggregate non-audit fees billed to the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds (the “Covered Entities”) are set forth onAnnex E. The audit committee is required to pre-approve services to Covered Entities to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the operations of financial reporting of the Funds. The audit committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services, if any, performed by PwC to the Funds and Covered Entities is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence in performing audit services.
Proxy Solicitation Expenses
The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed form of proxy, the accompanying Notice and this Joint Proxy Statement, and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. These expenses will be allocated among each of the Funds in a fair and equitable manner. The Funds will also reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Funds. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting, additional solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile or personal interview by representatives of the Funds, the Adviser or its affiliates, by the transfer agent of the Funds and by dealers or their representatives. The Funds may also retain Computershare Fund Services, a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in additional proxy solicitation. The estimated cost of solicitation by Computershare Fund Services is approximately $1,200 per Fund.
The Adviser has agreed to bear non-routine expenses associated with the Meeting in excess of customary costs associated with an annual shareholder meeting.
Shareholder Proposals
Each Fund’s By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) require compliance with certain procedures for a shareholder to properly make a nomination for election as a Trustee or to propose other business for the Fund. If a shareholder who is entitled to do so under a Fund’s By-Laws wishes to nominate a person or persons for election as a Trustee or propose other business for the Fund, that shareholder must provide timely written notice to the Secretary of the Fund at the Fund’s principal executive offices. Such notice must include certain information about the proponent and the proposal, or in the case of a nomination, the nominee. A copy of each Fund’s By-Laws, which includes the provisions regarding the requirements for shareholder nominations and proposals, may be obtained by writing to the respective Fund at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. Any shareholder considering making a nomination or other proposal should carefully review and comply with those provisions of the Fund’s By-Laws.
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the year 2015 annual meeting of shareholders for a Fund pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be received by
30
the Fund at the Fund’s principal executive offices by February 20, 2015. Timely submission of a proposal does not necessarily mean that such proposal will be included in the Fund’s proxy statement. If a shareholder wishes to make a proposal at the year 2015 annual meeting of shareholders without having the proposal included in a Fund’s proxy statement, then such proposal must be received by the Fund’s Secretary at the Fund’s principal executive offices not earlier than May 2, 2015 and not later than June 1, 2015. If a shareholder fails to provide timely notice, then the persons named as proxies in the proxies solicited by the Board for the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to any such proposal. Any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at a meeting of such shareholder’s Fund should send such proposal to the Fund’s Secretary at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309, Attn: Secretary.
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Meeting
This Joint Proxy Statement will be available online at www.proxy-direct.com/INV-25785 through the date of the Meeting.
General
Management of each Fund does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that others will present any other items of business at the Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
A list of shareholders of each Fund entitled to be present and vote at the Meeting will be available at the offices of the respective Fund, 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours for ten days prior to the date of the Meeting.
Failure of a quorum to be present at the Meeting for any Fund may necessitate adjournment and may subject such Fund to additional expense.
If you cannot be present in person, you are requested to fill in, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, for which no postage is required if mailed in the United States, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the internet promptly.
