After careful consideration, the Invesco Funds Board of Trustees has approved a reorganization of Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund and Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund into Invesco V.I. Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund, pending shareholder approval.
Shareholders are being asked to consider the proposal approved by the Invesco Funds Board because we believe the proposed changes reduce overlap and enhance efficiency across our product offerings. The chart below provides specific details regarding the funds involved in the reorganization.
