Questions & Answers

We are providing a brief overview of the issues to be voted on at the Special Meeting of Shareholders. We ask that you read the complete Proxy Statement for additional information.

Q. Why is a special meeting of shareholders being held?

A.Invesco Senior Loan Fund (the “Fund”) is holding a special meeting of shareholders to elect Trustees. The Fund currently is overseen by a Board of Trustees (the “Board”) comprised of eight Trustees. Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser, 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 Fund, the Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to consolidate the Board’s membership with the membership of the Houston Board (the “Board Consolidation”). In order to effect the Board Consolidation, the Board has approved an increase in its size and has nominated for election to the Board at the special meeting those trustees on the Houston Board that do not currently serve as Trustees of the Fund to form a consolidated board of trustees (the “Consolidated Board”). In addition, the current members of the Board who will continue to serve on the Consolidated Board have been nominated for election at the special 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, 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 the Fund.

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 Proxy Statement. To vote by phone or internet, you will need the “control number” that appears on the proxy card.

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To be Held August 29, 2014

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board” or the “Board of Trustees”) of Invesco Senior Loan Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), of proxies to be voted at a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund, 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 Proxy Statement and accompanying form of proxy is July 24, 2014.

Participating in the Meeting are holders of common shares of beneficial interest, designated as Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class Y Shares, Class IB Shares and Class IC Shares (collectively, the “Shares”), of the Fund.

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 the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. The number of issued and outstanding Shares of the Fund at the close of business on the Record Date is as follows:

Class A Share: 34,011,470.07

Class B Shares: 1,323,763.65

Class C Shares: 29,485,942.71

Class Y Shares: 445,196.81

Class IB Shares: 109,646,649.86

Class IC Shares: 9,103,613.13

The Meeting is to be held for the following purpose:

The 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 Fund by calling 1-800-959-4246 or by writing to the Fund at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

Voting

Shareholders of the 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. Holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class Y Shares, Class IB Shares and Class IC Shares will vote together as a single class on the Proposal.

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.

The Board of Trustees recommends that you cast your vote FOR each of the Trustee Nominees listed in this Proxy Statement.

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” the election of each Trustee Nominee. 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. 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 must be present in person or by proxy to have a quorum to conduct business at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be deemed present for quorum purposes.

Broker-dealer firms holding Shares of the 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 Fund understands 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. The 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 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 Fund knows of no 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 the Proposal are not received, proxies (including abstentions and broker non-votes) would be voted in favor of one or more adjournments of the Meeting 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 the 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 the Fund, such as your voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) or broker’s statement indicating ownership as of a recent date.

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 Fund at 1-800-959-4246 to obtain directions to the site of the Meeting.

Investment Adviser

The investment adviser for the Fund is Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. 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

The Fund currently is overseen by the Board, 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 Fund, the Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to consolidate the Board’s membership with the membership of the Houston Board (the “Board Consolidation”). In order to effect the Board Consolidation, the Board has approved an increase in its size and has nominated for election to the Board at the special meeting those trustees on the Houston Board that do not currently serve as Trustees of the Fund to form a consolidated board of trustees (the “Consolidated Board”). In addition, the current members of the Board who will continue to serve on the Consolidated Board have been nominated for election at the special meeting (except for Mr. Wayne W. Whalen who was previously elected by shareholders of the Fund and will retire from the Consolidated Board effective December 31, 2014). 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, 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.

Ms. Linda Hutton Heagy and Messrs. R. Craig Kennedy and Colin D. Meadows, currently Trustees of the Fund, will resign from the Board 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 Fund, 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 Fund and its 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 the 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 Fund 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 Fund is 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 Fund 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;

•

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 the Fund. Based on this recommendation, the Board that currently oversees the Fund nominated each of the Nominees to the Consolidated Board of the 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 are as follows:

David C. Arch

Frank S. Bayley

James T. Bunch

Bruce L. Crockett

Rodney F. Dammeyer

Albert R. Dowden

Jack M. Fields

Martin L. Flanagan*

Prema Mathai-Davis

Larry Soll

Hugo F. Sonnenschein

Raymond Stickel, Jr.

Philip A. Taylor*

Wayne W. Whalen*

Suzanne H. Woolsey

*	Interested person of the Fund.

The Trustees will serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Messrs. Bayley and Whalen will retire from the Consolidated Board effective December 31, 2014.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders may send communications to the 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 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 the 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 seeks to provide shareholders with a highly qualified, highly capable and diverse group of Board members reflecting the diversity of investor interests underlying the Fund 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 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 Fund 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 Fund.

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 Fund. The Chairman of the Board is an “interested person” (as that term is defined by the 1940 Act) of the Fund 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, including the interested person status of the Chairman, and has concluded the leadership structure is appropriate for the Fund. In considering the chairman position, the Board has considered and/or reviewed (i) the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund 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 the Fund is attractive long-term performance consistent with the objectives and investment policies and risks for the 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 Fund are the Fund’s portfolio managers, the Adviser’s senior management, the Adviser’s risk management group, the Adviser’s compliance group, the Fund’s chief compliance officer, and the various support functions (i.e. the custodian, the Fund’s accountants (internal and external), and legal counsel). While the Fund is subject to other risks such as valuation, custodial, accounting, shareholder servicing, etc., the 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 with the Adviser’s senior management, and the Board typically meets at least once a year with the portfolio managers of the 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 Fund’s chief compliance officer and reports from the Fund’s support functions.

Board Committees and Meetings

The 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 Fund as defined by the New York Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards.

The 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 the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with such independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of the Fund’s annual audit and considers any comments which the independent registered public accounting firm may have regarding the Fund’s financial statements, accounting records or internal controls. The 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 the Fund is available at www.invesco.com/us.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the financial statements of the Fund with management as well as with the independent registered public accounting firm of the 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 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.

The 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 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 the Fund, which includes the Fund’s nominating policies, is available at www.invesco.com/us. The Independent Trustees of the Fund select and nominate Independent Trustee nominees for the Fund. While the Independent Trustees of the Fund expect to be able to continue to identify 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 met 6 times, the audit committee met 6 times and the governance committee met 4 times. During such fiscal year, each of the Trustees during the period such

Trustee served as a Trustee attended at least 75% of the meetings of the 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 Fund 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 Fund 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.

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.

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 the Fund, the 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.
