The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index described here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class IB and Class IC shares was 1.94%, 1.94%, 2.69%, 1.69% and 1.84%, respectively. The expense ratios presented above may vary from the expense ratios presented in other sections of this report that are based on expenses incurred during the period covered by this report.
Class A share performance reflects the maximum 3.25% sales charge. Prior to November 30, 2010, Class B share performance reflects an early withdrawal charge of 3% in the first year after purchase and declines to 0% after year five. Class C share performance reflects an early withdrawal charge of 1% for the first year after purchase. Class IB shares, Class IC shares and Class B shares (after November 30, 2010) are not continuously offered and have no early withdrawal charges.
The performance of the Fund’s share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses.
Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses on Class A, Class B and Class C shares in the past, performance would have been lower.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:
(a) | Variable rate senior loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Variable rate senior loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days but not greater than one year; and/or have interest rates that float at a margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. |
(b) | Variable rate senior loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the variable rate senior loan interests will have an expected average life of three to five years. |
(c) | All or a portion of this holding is subject to unfunded loan commitments. Interest rate will be determined at the time of funding. See Note 1J and Note 8. |
(d) | This variable rate interest will settle after August 31, 2013, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
(e) | Affiliated company during the period. The Investment Company Act of 1940 defines affiliates as those companies in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of that issuer. The aggregate value of these securities as of August 31, 2013 was $16,173,667, which represented 1.27% of the Fund’s Net Assets. See Note 4. |
(f) | All or a portion of this security is Payment-in-Kind. |
(g) | Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is partially or fully in default with respect to interest payments. The value of this security at August 31, 2013 represented less than 1% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(h) | Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at August 31, 2013 was $145,113,092, which represented 11.40% of the Fund’s Net Assets. |
(i) | Interest or dividend rate is redetermined periodically. Rate shown is the rate in effect on August 31, 2013. |
(j) | Non-income producing security acquired through the restructuring of senior loans. |
(k) | Security acquired through the restructuring of senior loans. |
(l) | Non-income producing security acquired as part of a bankruptcy restructuring. |
(m) | The money market fund and the Fund are affiliated by having the same investment adviser. |
(n) | Calculated as a percentage of net assets. Amounts in excess of 100% are due to the Fund’s use of leverage. |

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Senior Loan Fund (the “Fund”), is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund invests primarily in adjustable rate senior loans ("Senior Loans"). Senior Loans are business loans that have a senior right to payment and are made to borrowers that may be corporations, partnerships, or other entities. These borrowers operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions. The Fund borrows money for investment purposes which may create the opportunity for enhanced return, but also should be considered a speculative technique and may increase the Fund's volatility.
The Fund continuously offers Class A and Class C shares. The Fund also has outstanding Class B, Class IB and Class IC shares which are not continuously offered. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC"), the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A. | Security Valuations — Variable rate senior loan interests are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. |
Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales 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 (but not securities reported on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) are valued based on the prices furnished by independent pricing services, in which case the securities may be considered fair valued, or by market makers. Each security reported on the NASDAQ Stock
22 Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Exchange is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) as of the close of the customary trading session on the valuation date or absent a NOCP, at the closing bid price.
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 the ask 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 ask prices. For purposes of determining net asset value 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 bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.
Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.
Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust’s officers following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.
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 is recorded on the accrual basis from the settlement date. Facility fees received may be amortized over the life of the loan. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. |
The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and 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 realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. The Fund allocates income to a class based on the relative value of the settled shares 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, |
23 Invesco Senior Loan Fund
the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | Distributions — Distributions from income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gain, if any, are generally declared and paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may elect to treat a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income tax purposes. |
E. | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements. |
The Fund files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.
F. | Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees — Interest, Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative expenses related to establishing and maintaining floating rate note obligations, if any. |
G. | Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print. |
H. | Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements, that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
I. | Cash and Cash Equivalents — For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received. |
J. | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis — The Fund may purchase and sell interests in Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such securities prior to the settlement date. |
K. | Industry Concentration — To the extent that the Fund is concentrated in securities of issuers in the banking and financial services industries, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of those industries. The value of these securities can be sensitive to changes in government regulation, interest rates and economic downturns in the U.S. and abroad. |
L. | Bank Loan Risk Disclosures — Although the resale, or secondary market for floating rate loans has grown substantially over the past decade, both in overall size and number of market participants, there is no organized exchange or board of trade on which floating rate loans are traded. Instead, the secondary market for floating rate loans is a private, unregulated interdealer or interbank resale market. Such a market may therefore be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, and extended trade settlement periods. Similar to other asset classes, bank loan funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk than an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Fund manages counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. |
M. | Other Risks — The Fund may invest all or substantially of its assets in senior secured floating rate loans, senior secured debt securities or other securities rated below investment grade. These securities are generally considered to have speculative characteristics and are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest than higher rated securities. The value of lower quality debt securities and floating rate loans can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. |
The Fund invests in Corporate Loans from U.S. or non-U.S. companies (the “Borrowers”). The investment of the Fund in a Corporate Loan may take the form of participation interests or assignments. If the Fund purchases a participation interest from a syndicate of lenders (“Lenders”) or one of the participants in the syndicate (“Participant”), one or more of which administers the loan on behalf of all the Lenders (the “Agent Bank”), the Fund would be required to rely on the Lender that sold the participation interest not only for the enforcement of the Fund’s rights against the Borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due to the Fund under the Corporate Loans. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of the Borrower and the Participant. Lenders and Participants interposed between the Fund and a Borrower, together with Agent Banks, are referred to as “Intermediate Participants”.

NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
Average Net Assets | Rate | |||||
First $500 million | 0 | .90% | ||||
Next $1 billion | 0 | .85% | ||||
Next $1 billion | 0 | .825% | ||||
Next $500 million | 0 | .80% | ||||
Over $3 billion | 0 | .775% |
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 Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may 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 Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2014, 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 August 31, 2013, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $11,089.
The Fund has entered into an administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs related to monitoring the provisions of the loan agreements and any agreements with respect to participations and assignments, record keeping responsibilities with respect to interests in Senior Loans in the Fund's portfolio and providing certain services to the holders of the Fund's securities. For the six months ended August 31, 2013, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Administrative services fees. Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serve as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services of the Fund.
The Fund 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. For the six months ended August 31, 2013, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Transfer agent fees.
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”). The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Class IC shares to compensate IDI for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares and up to 1.00% each of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and up to 0.15% (0.25% maximum) of the average daily net assets of Class IC shares.
With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the Fund is authorized to reimburse in future years any distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class, so long as such reimbursement does not cause the Fund to exceed the Class B and Class C maximum annual reimbursement rate, respectively. With respect to Class A shares, distribution related expenses that exceed the maximum annual reimbursement rate for such class are not carried forward to future years and the Fund will not reimburse IDI for any such expenses.
For the six months ended August 31, 2013, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as Distribution fees.
Front-end sales commissions and CDSC (collectively, the “sales charges”) are not recorded as expenses of the Fund. Front-end sales commissions are deducted from proceeds from the sales of Fund shares prior to investment in Class A shares of the Fund. CDSC are deducted from redemption proceeds prior to remittance to the shareholder. During the six months ended August 31, 2013, IDI advised the Fund that IDI retained $29,656 in front-end sales commissions from the sale of Class A shares and $1,962, $7,247 and $36,177 from Class B, Class C and Class IB shares, respectively, for CDSC imposed on redemptions by shareholders.
Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are officers and directors of Invesco.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available 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 August 31, 2013. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The Variable Rate Senior Loan Interests determined to be level 3 at the end of the reporting period were valued utilizing quotes from a third-party vendor pricing service. Investments in Variable Rate Senior Loan Interests were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to third-party vendor quotations utilizing single market quotes and was assumed to have occurred at the end of the reporting period. A significant change in third-party pricing information could result in a significantly lower or higher value in Level 3 investments.
NOTE 4—Investments in Other Affiliates
The 1940 Act defines affiliates as those issuances in which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The Fund has not owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer to have control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that issuer.

NOTE 7—Cash Balances and Borrowings
Effective August 29, 2013, the Fund entered into a $375 million revolving credit and security agreement which will expire on August 29, 2014. The revolving credit agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund. Prior to August 29, 2013, the revolving credit and security agreement was $475 million.

Additionally, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 8—Unfunded Loan Commitments

NOTE 9—Tax Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Fund’s fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of February 28, 2013, which expires as follows:
Capital Loss Carryforward* | ||||||||||||

February 28, 2014 | $ | 21,900,119 | $ | — | $ | 21,900,119 | ||||||

* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that unrealized gains as of December 19, 2011, the date of reorganization of Invesco Prime Income Trust into the Fund, are realized on securities held in each fund at such date of reorganization, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. |

NOTE 12—Senior Loan Participation Commitments
The Fund invests in participations, assignments, or acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Senior Loan interest to corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, but not with the borrower directly. As such, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower.
At the six months ended August 31, 2013, the following sets forth the selling participants with respect to interest in Senior Loans purchased by the Fund on a participation basis.

The Fund has a policy of making monthly repurchase offers (“Repurchase Offers”) for the Fund’s common shares pursuant to Rule 23c-3(b) of the 1940 Act.
The Repurchase Offers will be for between 5% and 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares; however, the Fund’s present intent for the offers is for not less than 6% (The Board of Trustees may authorize an additional 2%, if necessary, without extending the Repurchase Offers). The repurchase request deadline will be the third Friday of each calendar month (or the preceding business day if such third Friday is not a business day). To accommodate Repurchase Offers, the Fund has shorter notice periods before each offer, shorter repurchase periods and shorter payment periods after each offer. During the six months ended August 31, 2013, the Fund had Repurchase Offers as follows:
Repurchase request deadlines | Percentage of outstanding shares the Fund offered to repurchase | Number of shares tendered (all classes) | Percentage of outstanding shares tendered (all classes) | |||||||||

NOTE 16—Legal Proceedings
Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.
Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries
The Fund is named as a defendant in an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. The complaint was filed on July 14, 2008 by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc., on behalf of certain subsidiaries of TOUSA, Inc. (the “Conveying Subsidiaries”), and filed as amended on October 17, 2008. The Committee made allegations against the Fund in two separate capacities: as “Transeastern Lenders” and as “First Lienholders” (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Transeastern Lenders loaned money to form a joint venture between TOUSA, Inc. and Falcone/Ritchie LLC. TOUSA, Inc. later repaid the loans from the Transeastern Lenders as part of a global settlement of claims against it. The repayment was financed using proceeds of new loans (the “New Loans”), for which the Conveying Subsidiaries conveyed first and second priority liens on their assets to two groups of lienholders (the First and Second Lienholders, collectively “New Lenders”). The Conveying Subsidiaries were not obligated on the original debt to the Transeastern Lenders. The Committee alleged, inter alia, that both the repayment to the Transeastern Lenders and the grant of liens to the First and Second Lienholders should be avoided as fraudulent transfers under the bankruptcy laws. More specifically, the Committee alleged: (1) that the Conveying Subsidiaries’ transfer of liens to secure the New Loans was a fraudulent transfer under 11 U.S.C. § 548 because the Conveying Subsidiaries were insolvent at the time of the transfer and did not receive reasonably equivalent value for the liens; and (2) that the Transeastern Lenders were, under 11 U.S.C. § 550, entities for whose benefit the liens were fraudulently transferred to the New Lenders. The case was tried in 2009 and on October 13, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court rendered a Final Judgment against the Lenders, which was later amended on October 30, 2009, requiring the Lenders to post bonds equal to 110% of the damages and disgorgement ordered against them. The Transeastern Lenders and First Lienholders separately appealed the decision to the District Court for the Southern District of Florida. On February 11, 2011, the District Court, issued an order in the Transeastern Lenders’ appeal that: 1) quashed the Bankruptcy Court’s Order as it relates to the liability of the Transeastern Lenders; 2) made null and void the Bankruptcy Court’s imposition of remedies as to the Transeastern Lenders; 3) discharged all bonds deposited by Transeastern Lenders, unless any further appeals are filed, in which case the bonds would remain in effect pending resolution of appeals; 4) dismissed as moot additional appeal proceedings of the Transeastern Lenders that were contingent upon the District Court’s decision concerning liability; and 5) closed all District Court appeal proceedings concerning the Transeastern Lenders. The Committee appealed to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The First Lienholders’ appeal was stayed pending a decision by the Eleventh Circuit. In a decision filed on May 15, 2012, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the District Court’s opinion, affirmed the liability findings of the Bankruptcy Court against the Transeastern Lenders, and remanded the case to the District Court to review the remedies ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. The appeal of the Transeastern Lenders is currently pending before the District Court. The First Lienholders, having paid its obligations under the bankruptcy plan, have been fully and finally released pursuant to a court order dated August 30, 2013. The Fund has accrued $42,635 in expenses relating to these matters during the six months ending August 31, 2013.
Management of Invesco and the Fund believe that the outcome of the proceedings described above will have no material adverse effect on the Fund or on the ability of Invesco to provide ongoing services to the Fund.
Note 17—Subsequent Event
Effective November 8, 2013, the Fund will begin offering Class Y Shares.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period March 1, 2013 through August 31, 2013.
Actual expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.
The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period March 1, 2013 through August 31, 2013, after actual expenses and will differ from the hypothetical ending account value which is based on the Fund’s expense ratio and a hypothetical annual return of 5% before expenses. |
2 | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio as indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the most recent fiscal half year. |
36 Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Invesco Senior Loan Fund (the “Fund”) is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve annually the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco Advisers”) and the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract (the “sub-advisory contracts”) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Ltd., Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”). The Board considers the Fund’s relationship with Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers throughout the year and during meetings held on March 4-5, 2013 and May 6-7, 2013, the Board considered matters related to the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts. During a contract renewal meeting held on May 7, 2013, the Board as a whole, and the disinterested or “independent” Trustees, who comprise more than 75% of the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Board determined that the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Board’s Fund Evaluation Process
The Board, acting directly and through its committees, meets throughout the year to review the performance of the Fund. Over the course of each year, the Board, acting directly and through its committees, meets with portfolio managers for the funds and other members of management to review the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies and limitations and investment risks of the funds. The Board meets regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and other matters related to the funds.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the funds prepared by
Invesco Advisers and an independent company, Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”). The independent Trustees are assisted in their annual evaluation of the funds’ investment advisory agreements by fund counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors discussed below. The Trustees recognized that the advisory fees for the Fund reflect the results of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers, as well as with Van Kampen Asset Management, the funds’ predecessor investment adviser. The Trustees’ deliberations and conclusions in a particular year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in prior years. The Board noted the willingness of Invesco Advisers personnel to engage in open and candid discussions with the Board. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of information differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the Board’s evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of May 7, 2013, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s performance, advisory fees, expense limitations and/or fee waivers.
Factors and Conclusions
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers |
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing these services, and the credentials and experience of the officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these services. The Board also meets throughout the year with the Fund’s portfolio management team, which provides the Board with insight into their management of the Fund and the Fund’s performance. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers and the portfolio management team to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ performance and investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management.
In determining whether to continue the Fund’s investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior relationship between
Invesco Advisers (and previously Van Kampen Asset Management) and the Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of Invesco Advisers’ operations, and the greater uncertainty that may be associated with entering into a new relationship. The Board also considered non-advisory services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund such as various back office support functions, equity and fixed income trading operations, internal audit and legal and compliance. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and the advisory services are provided in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services capable of being 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 would provide such services. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, from time to time as necessary and appropriate, in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services capable of being provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.
B. | Fund Performance |
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant factor in considering whether to approve the sub-advisory contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated Sub-Adviser currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Fund’s performance during the past one, two, three and five calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper performance universe and against the applicable Lipper index. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one, two and three year periods and the fifth quintile for the five year period (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). In light of these considerations, the Board concluded the Fund’s performance was consistent with its investment objective and policies under applicable market conditions.
C. | Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers |
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted
37 Invesco Senior Loan Fund
that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was at the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used by Lipper in providing expense group information, which includes using audited financial data from the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar year and including only one fund per investment adviser. The Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.
The Board also considered the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate, (the advisory fee rate after advisory fee waivers and before other expense limitations and waivers), including comparisons, as applicable, to the effective advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Board reviewed not only the advisory fees but other fees and expenses (whether paid to Invesco Advisers, its affiliates or others) and the Fund’s overall expense ratio.
The Board also compared the strategy of the Fund to that of other client accounts of Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and considered, as applicable, the fees charged to other client accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or the Affiliated Sub-Advisers may charge lower fees to large institutional clients solely for investment management services than to registered fund clients, such as the Fund. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to registered fund clients, including the Fund, relative to other client accounts. These additional services include provision of administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of service providers, preparation of shareholder reports, preparation of financial information and regulatory compliance under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and stock exchange listing standards, including preparation for, coordinating the solicitation of proxies for, and conducting annual shareholder meetings. The Board noted that sub-advisory fees charged by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers to manage registered fund clients and to manage other client accounts were often more comparable. The Board concluded that the aggregate services provided to the Fund were sufficiently different from those provided to institutional clients, and the Board did not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
The Board also considered the services capable of being provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers pursuant to the sub-advisory contracts. The Board noted that, to the extent the Fund were to utilize the Affiliated Sub-
Advisers, Invesco Advisers would provide services related to oversight of the Affiliated Sub-Advisers as well as the additional services described above other than day-to-day portfolio management. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated Sub-Advisers.
Based upon the information and considerations described above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable.
D. | Economies of Scale and Breakpoints |
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund benefits from economies of scale through contractual breakpoints, and shares in economies of scale through lower fees charged by third party service providers based on the combined size of the registered fund clients and other clients advised by Invesco Advisers.
E. | Profitability and Financial Resources |
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Board reviewed with Invesco Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the other funds overseen by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the other funds overseen by the Board. The Board concluded that the level of profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund is not excessive given the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser are financially sound and have the resources necessary to perform their obligations under the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and each Affiliated Sub-Adviser have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these obligations.
F. | Collateral Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates |
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, including the fees received for their provision of administrative services, transfer agency services and distribution services to the Fund. The Board considered the performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing these services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services. The Board also considered that the services are required for the operation of the Fund; that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates can provide services, the nature and quality of which are at least
equal to those provided by others offering the same or similar services; and that the fees for such services are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges by others for services of the same nature and quality.
The Board considered that the Fund’s uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by the Fund. The waiver is in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from the affiliated money market funds with respect to the Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash and cash collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
