Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund underperformed its broad market and style-specific indexes. Because the Fund uses a bottom-up stock selection approach, stock selection in various sectors was the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We call our investment philosophy “value with a catalyst.” We believe that undervalued companies which are experiencing positive changes (i.e., “catalysts”) have the potential to generate long-term stock price growth for shareholders. We generally seek to identify companies that are out of favor with investors, underearning relative to their potential and attractively valued. For these companies, we attempt to identify catalysts that may improve the financial results and/or correct the undervaluation. Examples of catalysts typically include improved operational efficiency, changing industry dynamics and/or a change in management.
We initially identify potential investments through a series of quantitative screens including, but not limited to, return on capital and enterprise value to sales metrics. We then conduct fundamental research on the most attractive opportunities. The research process includes a thorough review of a company’s financial statements, an evaluation
of its competitive position and stability and meetings with its executives. During the research process, we also value the company under various scenarios to determine if the investment is an attractive opportunity relative to its risks. This is also where we typically identify the positive catalyst, a pre-requisite for potential investment. Finally, we generally set a price target for a stock based on normalized earnings and historical valuation multiples.
In short, our objective is to exploit negative sentiment toward a company’s stock by analyzing the company’s operations in the context of a cyclical environment and identifying one or more catalysts that may improve the company’s financial performance. Improved financial performance, in turn, has the potential to drive the company’s stock price higher.
We typically sell an investment when it reaches our estimate of fair value or when we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
The Fund also invests in investment grade corporate bonds and U.S.
government-issued bonds. The fixed income portion of the portfolio has the potential to reduce volatility compared to an equity-only portfolio and the potential to provide some downside protection during periods of stock market volatility.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive but often were overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, weak consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis – combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data – added to concerns that the recovery was slowing. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news.
Major equity indexes produced positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
The broad U.S. bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, generated positive total returns for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. At the beginning of the year, falling interest rates across maturities combined with tighter credit spreads (the difference between the yields of U.S. Treasuries and other types of fixed income securities that carry credit risk) caused bond prices to rise. Conversely, during the fourth quarter, a marked rise in interest rates negatively affected bond prices, particularly U.S. Treasuries.
Stock selection in the health care sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund owned Genzyme, a biotechnology company that received a takeover offer from Sanofi-aventis (not a Fund holding). As a result, Genzyme rose significantly on the news and we sold our position.

The utilities sector was also a positive contributor. The Fund was underweight this sector versus its benchmark index and we avoided many deregulated utility companies, which performed poorly.
Offsetting these positive results was the negative impact of the information technology (IT) and financials sectors.
The Fund was overweight in technology stocks throughout the reporting period, and most of our exposure was to hardware and equipment and software services stocks. Stock selection in hardware and equipment detracted the most from relative performance. Fund holding Hewlett Packard sold off on the news its chief executive officer was leaving the company due to expense-related improprieties. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund continued to own the stock.
Although the Fund was underweight in the financials sector relative to its style-specific index during the reporting period, we cautiously increased our exposure to some banks and capital markets companies that we believed had improved their balance sheets and were better capitalized. Also, real estate was a strong performing asset class during the reporting period. The Fund had no exposure to this asset class, however, and therefore did not benefit from real estate’s strong performance.
The Fund’s fixed income holdings produced positive returns for the reporting period, despite a marked rise in interest rates late in the year that caused bond prices to fall. Fixed income performance was mainly due to a sustained overweight position in investment grade corporate bonds. A consistent underweight position in U.S. government securities also aided both the Fund’s absolute and relative performance as investor preference for credit risk and rising interest rates late in the year dampened returns for U.S. government bonds.
The Fund used active duration and yield curve positioning to manage risk and generate outperformance versus its benchmark index. U.S. Treasury futures were the main tool used in managing the portfolio’s duration. The contribution to relative performance from both duration and yield curve positioning was, overall, negligible for the fiscal year.
Equity markets experienced a strong recovery during the period covered by this report. We believe that the market volatility that occurred during 2010 will continue to create opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations
and strong fundamentals. We believe that ultimately those valuations and fundamentals may be reflected in those companies’ stock prices.
As always, we would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. We recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Value stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Value stocks can continue to be undervalued for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value. Value stocks tend to be currently out of favor with many investors.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and secondarily, current income.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an |
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund
| | |
F. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Dollar Roll and Forward Commitment Transactions — The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. |
| | In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a “fee” or a “drop”. “Fee” income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the “drop” which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. |
| | At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. |
| | Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund’s overall interest rate exposure. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and |
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund
| | |
| | reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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 $150 million | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Over $150 million | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Through at least April 30, 2012, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund’s average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
| | | | |
Average Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $250 million | | | 0 | .62% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .605% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .59% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .575% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .56% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .545% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .53% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .515% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.91% and Series II shares to 1.16% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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.
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $167,421.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $61,885 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,329,121 and securities sales of $1,746,361, which resulted in net realized gains of $258,919.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,558 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary Income | | $ | 606,279 | | | $ | 1,570,703 | |

Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 452,302 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 3,354,164 | |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 37,003,019 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 31,278,384 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 3,766,236 | |

|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 9,457,840 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $25,728,191 and $33,071,349, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 3,354,164 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $27,943,400. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $18,693, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $10,495,882 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $10,514,575. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Basic Balanced Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Basic Balanced Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
On June 25, 2010, the team of Jason Leder, Devin Armstrong, Kevin Holt, Matthew Seinsheimer and James Warwick took over management of the Fund from the prior management team. A listing of your Fund’s managers appears later in this report.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund underperformed its style-specific benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Fund’s underperformance was largely due to holdings in the information technology (IT) sector. Alternatively, holdings in health care contributed to the Fund’s relative performance versus its style-specific benchmark.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
As noted above, the Fund’s management team changed during the reporting period. The new team seeks to exploit market inefficiencies by investing in companies that appear undervalued relative to the overall market. Ultimately, we believe that the market will recognize the value in these companies and will sell them as their stock price begins to reflect their intrinsic value. We feel that stock picking, as compared to making sector bets, provides a more consistent path to potential success. In addition, we may be able to take advantage of pricing anomalies by purchasing undervalued stocks before a recognizable catalyst arises.
The Fund’s primary investable universe includes all U.S. denominated equities. In order to distill the investment universe, we filter for companies with sufficient liquidity. We filter the remaining securities on valuation metrics depending upon the growth or cyclical nature of their business. The result of this filtering process is a pool of securities that we believe are
statistically inexpensive relative to the broader market. Companies identified in the filtering process are thoroughly analyzed to assess intrinsic value and their ability to achieve fair value.
We will purchase a security only if we believe the potential for stock price appreciation outweighs potential downside risk. To be eligible for inclusion in the Fund, a stock must meet the following criteria:
n | | If the security is statistically cheap on the basis of its primary valuation criteria, which depends on the cyclical or growth nature of its business. |
|
n | | If rigorous fundamental analysis shows that the company is undervalued and possesses potential financial strength and improved quality of management for future growth. |
We maintain an intense focus on the quality of a company’s accounting and on financial statement analysis. Portfolio construction is bottom-up and stock specific, concentrating on individual company fundamental analysis and
valuations. Therefore, while we monitor and are aware of our positions relative to the benchmark, it does not play a major role in the construction of the Fund.
We look to manage risk through portfolio construction, chiefly diversification across most major sectors, and through the assistance of an independent quantitative risk control group. Risk management is continuous. The Fund is regularly reviewed to ensure it is optimally constructed on a risk/reward basis. We have the final say on construction of the Fund and a collegial relationship exists between the risk management team and the Fund teams.
Our sell discipline is just as important as the buy decision and is based on the same principles: relative value and fundamentals. While no sale is automatic, a security is typically sold if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
n | | When we believe the target price has been realized, and if we no longer consider the company undervalued. |
|
n | | If we determine that a better value opportunity can be found elsewhere. |
|
n | | If our research shows that a company is experiencing deteriorating fundamentals beyond what we feel to be a tolerable level and the trend is likely to be a long term issue. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive but often were overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, weak consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators

remained weak, prompting fears of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis – combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data – added to concerns that the recovery was slowing. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news.
Major equity indexes produced positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
The IT sector was the largest detractor from relative and absolute Fund performance. More specifically, the Fund’s holdings in Nokia and Microsoft detracted from performance during the first half of the year. Soon after taking over management of the Fund in June, we sold the Fund’s positions in these two companies.
Select holdings in the financials sector were also among the largest detractors from Fund returns. Moody’s and State Street detracted from performance during the first half of the year and we also eliminated these two holdings from the Fund. Energy holding BP was the single largest detractor from Fund performance; we sold our position in BP after taking over management of the Fund.
Stock selection combined with an underweight position in the health care sector contributed to Fund performance relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index. Within health care, our holdings in Pfizer and UnitedHealth Group performed particularly well during the year.
In absolute terms, the Fund’s holdings in consumer discretionary and financials contributed the most to performance. Media companies Omnicom and Time Warner were strong performers as was financial services company Chubb.
Select holdings in the energy sector also made significant contributions to returns during the year. Since we assumed management of the Fund in June, we took advantage of weakness in select energy holdings to build our exposure to the sector. The stock price weakness was driven by the Mocondo offshore oil well incident and subsequent Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium. Currently, the majority of the Fund’s
energy holdings are in the integrated oil industry, an area that has become more attractively priced.
We believe that market volatility, and the market correction that occurred during the second quarter of 2010, created opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations. Our contrarian philosophy and deep value approach of buying extremely undervalued companies may capitalize on market volatility and down markets as value is created for new investment opportunities.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Value stocks may react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks and may never realize their full value. Value stocks tend to be currently out-of-favor with many investors.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .695% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .645% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .62% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .595% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .57% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .545% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .52% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $12,010.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $84,661 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $776,567 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $38,964,918 and securities sales of $4,128,486, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(391,829).
Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $111.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,317 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,571,366 | | | $ | 4,569,846 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,000,450 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 46,447,867 | |
|

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 346,274,947 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 313,813,096 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 40,544,207 | |

This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Basic Value Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Basic Value Fund
Calculating your Ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund had positive returns but underperformed versus its style-specific index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Much of the Fund’s underperformance was due to stock selection in several sectors. The Fund performed in-line with the broad market, represented by the S&P 500 Index.

How we invest
We believe a growth investment strategy is an essential component of a diversified portfolio. Our investment process seeks to identify companies that generate sustainable revenue, earnings and cash flow growth that is not fully reflected in investor expectations or equity valuations.
We begin with a quantitative model that ranks companies based on a set of growth, quality and valuation factors. This proprietary model provides an objective approach to identifying new investment opportunities.

stocks based on their growth potential over a two- to three-year time horizon. Our timeliness analysis employs moving average analysis and other selected factors to identify the timeliness of a stock transaction.
We carefully construct the Fund with a goal to minimize unnecessary risk. We seek to accomplish this goal by diversifying Fund holdings across countries, sectors, industries and market capitalizations. Additionally, we avoid building concentrated position sizes and expect to hold numerous stocks in the Fund. Our target holding period is two to three years for each stock.
We consider selling a stock when it no longer meets our investment criteria, based on:

|
n | | Declining quantitative rank. |
|
n | | Negative changes to the investment thesis. |

Market conditions and your Fund
The U.S. economy provided signs of improvement during the Fund’s fiscal year, potentially indicating that the economy has transitioned from a contraction phase into an expansionary phase. Nevertheless, the pace of recovery remained modest and the transition from government stimulus-induced growth to private economic recovery was uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) federal funds target rate remained low in a range of zero to 0.25%.1 Real gross domestic product (GDP) registered positive growth during the reporting period with quarterly increases of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.2 Inflation, measured by the seasonally-adjusted Consumer Price Index, remained relatively benign. While labor markets improved as layoffs moderated, new hiring remained quite weak. Unemployment, after climbing steadily throughout 2009, fell slightly during 2010 to a rate of 9.4% nationwide as of December 2010.3
While stock market volatility increased significantly during the fiscal year, indexes measuring the performance of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks finished the period with positive, double-digit returns. In terms of investment style, growth stocks generally outperformed value stocks. The sectors with the highest returns in the Russell 1000 Growth Index included more
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials, as well as the telecommunications sector. Conversely, the health care and utilities sectors had the lowest returns but were still in positive territory.
The Fund had positive returns but underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Underperformance was driven primarily by stock selection in several sectors, including health care, financials and consumer staples. An underweight position in the materials sector and the Fund’s cash position also detracted from performance.
Over the course of the fiscal year, the Fund underperformed by the widest margin in the health care sector, largely due to stock selection. The leading detractor from overall Fund performance was pharmaceutical product maker Gilead Sciences. This holding had weak performance following an announcement earlier in the year that revenues and earnings would be negatively impacted from costs related to U.S. healthcare reform legislation. An overweight position in the sector was also a detractor from relative performance, as the health care sector was one of the weakest performing sectors in the Russell 1000 Growth Index during the reporting period.
Another area of weakness for the Fund during the fiscal year was the financials sector. Within this sector, underperformance was driven primarily by stock selection. Examples of holdings that detracted from performance included financial services firm Charles Schwab and insurance provider Ace. Charles Schwab and Ace are no longer held by the Fund.
The Fund also underperformed in the consumer staples sector, due to stock selection. Within this sector, drugstore operator Walgreens had weak performance and detracted from returns. Walgreens is no longer held by the Fund.
Some of this underperformance was offset by outperformance in other sectors, including consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology (IT). The Fund outperformed by the widest margin in the consumer discretionary sector, due to both stock selection and an overweight position. Two holdings were among the Fund’s top contributors to performance during the period: discount retailer Dollar Tree and online retailer Amazon.com.
Outperformance in the industrials sector was also due to stock selection and an overweight position. Examples of
holdings that contributed to performance included airline holding company UAL, which merged with Continental Airlines and became United Continental Holdings, as well as heavy machinery and commercial products maker Ingersoll-Rand. UAL is no longer held by the Fund.
The Fund outperformed in the IT sector due to stock selection. The leading contributor to Fund performance was Apple. Apple continued to benefit from strong consumer demand for its innovative technology products, including the iPad tablet computer as well as a new version of the iPhone. Network security software provider Checkpoint Software was also one of the leading contributors to Fund performance.
During the fiscal year, the most significant changes to Fund positioning included a reduction in exposure in the IT, telecommunications, health care and materials sectors. Proceeds from the sale of holdings in these sectors were used to add exposure in other sectors, including industrials, consumer staples and energy.
As we’ve discussed, the stock market experienced heavy volatility during the last 12 months. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program. We thank you for your commitment to Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund.

This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available on this Invesco automated information line, 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Stocks of small and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments in the above factors and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Industry classifications used in this report are generally classified according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .65% |
|
Over $250 million | | | 0 | .60% |
|
Under the terms of master intergroup sub-advisory contracts 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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30%
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $41,171.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $162,163 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,533,563 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Equity Securities | | $ | 678,471,750 | | | $ | 8,648,054 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 687,119,804 | |
|
NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price.
Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $933,281 and securities sales of $2,636,693, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(431,879).
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $25.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $4,136 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Distributions to Shareholders:
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,452,748 | | | $ | 3,443,686 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 656,404 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 156,378,867 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (125,976 | ) |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (276,785 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (284,690,766 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 811,755,286 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 683,697,030 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $44,077,954 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2011 | | $ | 56,312,952 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 228,377,814 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 284,690,766 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $354,112,518 and $466,172,524, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 159,564,695 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (3,185,828 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 156,378,867 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $530,740,937. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforwards and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $39,647, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $96,496,960 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $96,457,313.

Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco V.I. Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Capital Appreciation Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund had positive double-digit returns but underperformed the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Underperformance was driven primarily by stock selection in several sectors. The Fund outperformed the broad market as represented by the S&P 500 Index, as mid-cap stocks generally outperformed large-cap stocks.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

analysis of the strategic plans of the company’s management team. We also analyze key competitors, customers and suppliers to assess the overall attractiveness and growth potential of the industry.
Risk management plays an important role in portfolio construction, as our target portfolio attempts to limit volatility and downside risk. We seek to accomplish this goal by investing in sectors, industries and companies with attractive fundamental prospects. We limit the Fund’s sector exposure and also seek to minimize stock-specific risk by building a diversified portfolio.
We consider selling a stock for any of the following reasons:
n | | There is a change in fundamentals, market capitalization or deterioration in the timeliness profile. |

n | | The price target set at purchase has been reached. |
|
n | | The investment thesis is no longer valid. |
|
n | | Insider selling indicates potential issues. |
Market conditions and your Fund
The U.S. economy provided signs of improvement during the Fund’s fiscal year, potentially indicating that the economy has transitioned from a contraction phase into an expansionary phase. Nevertheless, the pace of recovery remained modest and the transition from government stimulus-induced growth to private economic recovery was uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) federal funds target rate remained low in a range from zero to 0.25%.1 Real gross domestic product (GDP) registered positive growth during the reporting period with quarterly increases of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.2 Inflation, measured by the seasonally-adjusted Consumer Price Index, remained relatively benign. While labor markets improved as layoffs moderated, new hiring remained quite weak. Unemployment, after climbing steadily throughout 2009, fell slightly during 2010 to a rate of 9.4% nationwide as of December 2010.3
While stock market volatility increased significantly during the fiscal year, indexes measuring the performance of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks finished the period with positive, double-digit returns. In terms of investment style, growth stocks generally outperformed
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund
value stocks. The sectors with the highest returns in the Russell Midcap Growth Index included more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials, materials and information technology (IT). Conversely, the utilities sector was the only sector with a negative return during the period.
The Fund had double-digit absolute returns, but underperformed versus the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the fiscal year. The Fund underperformed by the widest margin in the consumer discretionary, health care and materials sectors. Some of this underperformance was offset by outperformance in other sectors, including utilities and energy.
The Fund underperformed most significantly in the consumer discretionary sector, primarily driven by stock selection. Within this sector, key detractors from performance included for-profit education services provider ITT Educational Services and discount department store operator J.C. Penney. We sold the Fund’s position in both holdings due to deteriorating fundamentals. Despite underperforming in this sector, two holdings were among the leading contributors to performance: automotive engine and drive train parts maker BorgWarner and casino operator Las Vegas Sands.
Underperformance in the health care sector was largely due to stock selection. Examples of holdings that detracted from performance included medical device maker NuVasive and animal hospital operator VCA Antech. While we sold the Fund’s position in VCA Antech due to deteriorating fundamentals, we continue to own NuVasive.
Another area of weakness for the Fund was the materials sector, where the Fund’s holdings generally under-performed those of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Within this sector, holdings that detracted from performance included glass container manufacturer Owens-Illinois and fertilizer maker Intrepid Potash. We sold the Fund’s position in both holdings due to deteriorating fundamentals.
Some of this underperformance was offset by outperformance in other sectors. The Fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index by the widest margin in the utilities sector, due to stock selection and an underweight position. One holding that made a positive contribution to performance was electric power generation plant operator KGen Power. However, our underweight position in utilities was a benefit as this more defensive sector was the weakest
performing sector in the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the reporting period.
Outperformance in the energy sector was driven by stock selection. Two examples of energy holdings that made positive contributions to performance included oil and gas exploration and production firms Concho Resources and Oasis Petroleum.
As we’ve discussed, the stock market experienced significant volatility during the fiscal year. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program. We thank you for your commitment to Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund.

This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
The Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result, they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
Stocks of small and mid sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments in the above factors and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
The Fund engages in frequent trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added expenses and may result in a lower return.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 |
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund
| | |
| | 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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 |
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $350 million | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Over $350 million | | | 0 | .625% |
|
Through at least April 30, 2012, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees to the extent necessary so that the advisory fees payable by the Fund (based on the Fund’s average daily net assets) do not exceed the annual rate of:
| | | | |
Average Net Assets | | Rate |
|
First $250 million | | | 0 | .745% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .73% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .715% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .685% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .655% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .64% |
|
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $20,923.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $416,901 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
|
Equity Securities | | $ | 176,301,470 | | | $ | 943,506 | | | $ | 1,585,140 | | | $ | 178,830,116 | |
|
NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $8,168,620 and securities sales of $3,024,129, which resulted in net realized gains of $634,076.
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $107.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,884 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
There were no ordinary income or long-term cpaital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 45,129,547 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 23 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (51,861 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (53,234,992 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 183,904,337 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 175,747,054 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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.
Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund
The Fund utilized $23,064,574 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 26,776,236 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 26,458,756 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 53,234,992 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $128,645,477 and $156,200,896, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 48,087,242 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (2,957,695 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 45,129,547 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $133,700,569. | | | | |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $468,161, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $3,857 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $464,304. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 72% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Capital Development Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Capital Development Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund lagged the broad market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, as well as the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index. The Fund’s comparative results were largely attributable to a significant underweight in the consumer discretionary sector and an overweight in the health care sector versus the benchmark. The Fund’s large cash weighting also acted as a drag on returns in a rising market. Top contributors to the Fund’s absolute return were holdings in the energy, financials, industrials and information technology (IT) sectors, while the largest detractor was the health care sector.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We seek to manage your Fund as what we term a “Conservative Cornerstone” – a stable foundational component within a well-diversified portfolio of assets that provides attractive upside participation during buoyant equity markets and stronger downside protection during weak equity markets. As part of a well-diversi-fied asset allocation strategy, the Fund is intended to complement more aggressive or cyclical investment strategies.
We conduct thorough fundamental research of companies and their businesses to gain a deeper understanding of their prospects, growth potential and return on invested capital (ROIC) characteristics. The process we use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis.
Financial analysis provides insights
into historical returns on invested capital, a key indicator of business quality, and historical capital allocation, a key indicator of management quality. Business analysis, which evaluates the competitive landscape and any structural or cyclical business opportunities or threats, allows us to identify key revenue, profit and return drivers of the company. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help us appraise a company’s intrinsic worth. In our valuation analysis, we use three primary techniques, including discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value.
We consider selling a stock when it exceeds our target price, we have not seen a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals, or a more compelling investments opportunity exists.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets fluctuated during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive but often were overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) accommodation. After rising through April, the major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone. Meanwhile U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting concerns of a double-dip recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis, combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a sub-normal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, markets reversed course and rallied again during the last four months of the year on better economic news, ending the fiscal year with double-digit gains.
All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains for the year. The more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care and utilities had some of the lowest returns.
During the year, our IT holdings were a source of strength on an absolute basis for the Fund, and QUALCOMM, which manufactures processor chips used in mobile handset devices, was the largest contributor to returns. The company reported solid results during the year due to higher demand for its products and better pricing power. In addition, cost-cutting measures helped the company achieve stronger operating margins.

Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
Oilfield services company BJ Services was another strong contributor to results. The company’s merger with Baker Hughes was finalized in the second quarter of 2010. We held our shares of the company through the end of the acquisition, and we are also retaining a position in Baker Hughes.
Holdings in the financials sector also enhanced the Fund’s results for the year, with Progressive and Berkshire Hathaway among top contributors. Progressive, a low-cost provider of auto and specialty insurance serving private and commercial markets, is a long-term Fund holding that we purchased several years ago when we began to see an improvement in pricing power in the auto insurance industry. At the time, however, the market had penalized the company for a new initiative to grow and retain its client base, while increasing spending on marketing and advertising. The initiative would have lowered near-term profits, which depressed the stock. This near-term focus was, in our view, shortsighted, and we believed the company was still a leading innovator in the auto insurance business with a solid track record of profitability, growth and returns on shareholder equity. Since we purchased the stock, investors have begun recognizing the company’s inherent value. The stock traded higher following a solid first quarter in 2010, and it remained at elevated levels for much of the period.
A number of the Fund’s key return detractors were concentrated in the health care sector, including medical device maker Boston Scientific, and Gilead Sciences, a biotechnology firm. Early in the year, Boston Scientific reported disappointing earnings results due to eroding profit margins, and management reduced its growth outlook for 2010 as a result. In addition, sales for one of the firm’s ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) devices were halted during the period, thus weighing on the company’s stock price. The sales stoppage, however, was not related to efficacy or safety, but rather to the mishandling of a Food and Drug Administration application for a change to its manufacturing process. Though the issue was subsequently resolved, the controversy created by this action negatively affected the stock.
Another detractor from Fund results was Apollo Group, a for-profit education provider whose businesses include the widely known University of Phoenix. The company and its peers have been under
pressure as Congressional leaders turned a critical eye on the for-profit education industry due to the outsized share of government education funds that it receives. The industry has also come under scrutiny for its comparatively low graduation rates, and government officials have called for increased regulatory oversight of the industry. We eliminated this position during the year.
Over the year, our cash weighting fluctuated as market volatility allowed us to buy on weakness and sell on strength. Markets rallied sharply in the first half of the year, providing us an opportunity to take profits; however, as market volatility increased over the summer, we used the opportunity to upgrade our portfolio by investing in high-quality companies that we believed were unduly punished. During the year we increased our exposure to the consumer discretionary, energy, industrials and utilities sectors, and reduced exposure to health care and IT. Our above-average cash position benefited the Fund during the market downturn and moderated returns during rallies.
Maintaining a conservative approach is an enduring part of our investment strategy. During the market’s volatility, we sought judicious long-term investments in high-quality businesses. At the end of the year, the Fund’s largest sector weightings were in IT, health care, financials and industrials.
Over the past year, we witnessed significant dissonance in the market between strong corporate earnings and weak or erratic macroeconomic data. However, at some point during this period, we believe we reached a crossroads in the current market cycle: In our view, we have likely entered a phase in which the economy is transitioning from recovery to possible expansion, or at least, economic sustainability. Historically, as part of these transitions, market leadership typically shifts from early cycle to late-cycle companies where profit stability, earnings visibility and positive – albeit modest – growth are favored. We believe this transition created good opportunities for investors to upgrade the quality of their equity exposure.
Regardless of market conditions, our goal remains the same: To serve as a conservative cornerstone for our shareholders’ portfolios, seeking to provide upside participation with downside protection, so that over a full-market cycle the Fund has the potential to deliver solid investment results with reduced risk.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a
doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $$5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
An investment by the Fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .65% |
|
Over $250 million | | | 0 | .60% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30%
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $325,026.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $329,329 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $3,301,579 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $8,514,122 and securities sales of $33,752,163, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(2,573,609).
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,977 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 13,182,649 | | | $ | 24,382,468 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 11,625,655 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 155,702,721 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 58,541 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (406,899 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (210,287,573 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 1,423,990,339 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 1,380,682,784 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $44,632,595 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2011 | | $ | 21,217,854 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 189,069,719 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 210,287,573 | |
|
| |
* | 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 May 1, 2006, the date of the reorganization of AIM V.I. Core Stock Fund and AIM V.I. Premier Equity Fund, into the Fund, are realized on securities held in each Fund at such date, the capital loss carryforward may be further limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization. |
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $556,780,658 and $669,813,232, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 198,527,191 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (42,824,470 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 155,702,721 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,230,830,991. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $382,715, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $112,934,587 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $112,551,872. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Core Equity Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Core Equity Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

| |
1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund outperformed the Fund’s broad market and style-specific indexes. Our security selection and asset allocation decisions were the largest contributors to performance relative to our style-specific index, which is primarily investment grade corporate credit in composition. Outperformance of the broad market index was due to overweight positions in non-government sectors, which outperformed government bonds.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We invest primarily in fixed-rate, U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds. We may invest up to 40% of total assets in foreign securities. Up to 35% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in lower quality, high yield debt securities; however, we have historically stayed closer to a 10% allocation in high yield and emerging markets on a combined basis. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as futures contracts and swap agreements, including but not limited to credit default swaps, and engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions, a form of repurchase agreement activity in the to-be-announced (TBA) market for agency mortgage backed securities (MBS).
Our security selection is supported by a team of independent specialists. Team members conduct top-down macroeconomic as well as bottom-up analysis on individual securities. Recommendations are communicated to portfolio managers through proprietary technology that
allows all investment professionals to communicate in a timely manner.
Portfolio construction begins with a well-defined Fund design that establishes the target investment vehicles for generating the desired “alpha” (the extra return above a specific benchmark) as well as the risk parameters for the Fund. Investment vehicles are evaluated for liquidity and relative value.
Sell decisions are based on:
n | | A conscious decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning, sector exposure). |
|
n | | The need to limit or reduce exposure to a particular sector or issuer. |
|
n | | Degradation of an issuer’s credit quality. |
|
n | | Realignment of a valuation target. |
|
n | | Presentation of a better relative value opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
In the U.S. and much of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster
recovery continued during 2010, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. However, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although the pace remained modest as stubbornly high unemployment and housing sector weakness continued to weigh on the economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second, and third quarters of 2010, respectively.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by stating: “The Committee anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability, although the pace of economic recovery is likely to be more modest in the near term than had been anticipated.”2
U.S. Treasury yields for securities with maturities of two to 30 years ended the year lower than at the start, indicative of positive 12-month returns across government bond sectors.3 Treasuries performed well for the year despite a significant rise in yields for intermediate and longer maturity securities during the final three months of the year,

driven by rising inflation expectations and supply considerations. The broader U.S. investment grade bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, also generated a positive total return for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. Slow economic growth, the avoidance of a double-dip recession, a recovery in corporate financial health, strong inflows into credit related asset classes and low overall interest rates supported the performance of bonds, especially non-government sectors.
In this environment, sector allocation and security selection were the dominate factors affecting Fund performance relative to the style-specific index.
On the whole, sector allocation had a positive effect on Fund performance relative to the Fund’s style-specific index for the period. A sustained overweight position in financials, an underweight position in the government-related sectors and out-of-index allocations in agency MBS, agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) all contributed notably to relative returns. Only U.S. Treasuries, cash and underweight positions in basic industries and consumer non-cyclicals slightly detracted from Fund returns.
Security selection was by far the largest contributor to overall returns. The effects were broad based, with most of the contribution coming from the telecommunications/media/technology, basic industries, transportation and government-related bonds selected for the portfolio. Part of the security selection contribution to returns also can be attributed to holding a larger percentage of lower quality investment-grade (BBB/ Baa-rated) bonds than the style-specific index, along with maintaining approximately 10% in high yield and emerging market securities, combined.
The Fund also can use active duration and yield curve positioning for risk management and for generating alpha versus its style-specific benchmark. Duration measures a portfolio’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes, with a shorter duration portfolio tending to be less sensitive to these changes. The contribution to performance versus the benchmark from duration positioning was mixed over the period, but overall it had a positive effect. We maintained a slightly shorter-than-benchmark duration position as interest rates trended lower during the first half of the year, which prevented us from fully participating in
the market rally as longer duration asset prices rose. During the third quarter, we moved to a slightly longer-than-benchmark duration position that resulted in significant benefit for our relative performance, and was only slightly offset during the fourth quarter as interest rates rose. U.S. Treasury note futures contracts were an important tool used in the management of our targeted portfolio duration.
The Fund’s yield curve positioning (emphasizing points on the yield curve with the greatest return potential) was also mixed throughout 2010, but overall had a positive effect on performance relative to the style-specific index. The Fund benefited by favoring a flattening of the yield curve (long-term bonds expected to outperform short-term bonds).

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
The Fund’s investments in high yield securities expose it to a substantial degree of credit risk. High yield securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy or are more highly indebted than other companies, and therefore they may have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest. High yield securities may experience reduced liquidity, and sudden sand substantial decreases in price, and may have a higher incidence of default than higher-grade securities.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more nega-
tively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
Leveraging entails risks such as magnifying changes in the value of the portfolio’s securities.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The Fund may engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities, which may result in added expenses, lower return and increased tax liability.
The Fund may use enhanced investment techniques such as derivatives. The principal risk of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk – the risk that the other party will not complete the transaction with the fund.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an |
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund
| | |
F. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Lower-Rated Securities — The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims. |
J. | | Dollar Roll and Forward Commitment Transactions — The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. |
| | In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a “fee” or a “drop”. “Fee” income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the “drop” which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. |
| | At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. |
| | Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund’s overall interest rate exposure. |
K. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the |
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund
| | |
| | exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .60% |
|
Over $250 million | | | 0 | .55% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.75% and Series II shares to 1.00% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $146,059 and reimbursed Fund expenses of $3,145.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $41,894 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund
| | |
| 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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $4.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,539 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
NOTE 8—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 31,365,680 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 23,460,681 | |
|
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal
Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund
Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. The Fund utilized $858,797 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2014 | | $ | 341,883 | |

NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $20,689,151 and $19,386,720, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,310,167 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (263,817 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,046,350 | |
|
Investments have the same cost for tax and financial statement purposes. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $8,744, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $6,028,999 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $6,020,255. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Diversified Income Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Diversified Income Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Diversified Income
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund had positive double-digit returns but underperformed the Fund’s style-specific benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Underperformance was driven primarily by stock selection in several sectors.
The Fund outperformed the broad market as represented by the S&P 500 Index, as mid-cap stocks generally outperformed large-cap stocks.
Your Fund’s long-term performance can be found later in this report.

How we invest
We believe a growth investment strategy is an essential component of a diversified portfolio.
Our investment process combines fundamental and quantitative analysis to uncover companies exhibiting long-term, sustainable revenue, earnings and cash flow growth that is not yet reflected by the stock’s market price.
Our quantitative model ranks companies based on a set of fundamental, valuation and timeliness factors. This quantitative model is designed to identify stocks with the highest probability of meeting our team’s investment criteria. Stocks that are ranked highest by our quantitative model are the focus of our fundamental research efforts.
Our fundamental analysis focuses on identifying companies and industries with strong drivers of growth. To accomplish this goal, we develop a fully integrated financial model to gain a more complete understanding of the financial health of each investment candidate. Additionally, our research involves due diligence of the
company, which includes a detailed analysis of the strategic plans of the company’s management team. We also analyze key competitors, customers and suppliers to assess the overall attractiveness and growth potential of the industry.
Risk management plays an important role in portfolio construction, as our target portfolio attempts to limit volatility and downside risk. We seek to accomplish this goal by investing in sectors, industries and companies with attractive fundamental prospects. We limit the Fund’s sector exposure and also seek to minimize stock-specific risk by building a diversified portfolio. (Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of loss.)
We consider selling a stock for any of the following reasons:
n | | There is a change in fundamentals, market capitalization or deterioration in the timeliness profile. |
|
n | | The price target set at purchase has been reached. |
|
n | | The investment thesis is no longer valid. |
|
n | | Insider selling indicates potential issues. |
Market conditions and your Fund
The U.S. economy showed signs of improvement during the Fund’s fiscal year, potentially indicating that the economy had transitioned from a contraction phase into an expansionary phase. Nevertheless, the pace of recovery remained modest, and the transition from government stimulus-induced growth to private economic recovery was uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) federal funds target rate remained low — ranging from zero to 0.25%.1 Real gross domestic product (GDP) registered positive growth during the reporting period with quarterly annualized increases of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.2 Inflation, measured by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI), remained relatively benign. While labor markets improved as layoffs moderated, new hiring remained quite weak. Unemployment, after climbing steadily throughout 2009, fell slightly during 2010 to a rate of 9.4% nationwide as of December 2010.3
While stock market volatility increased significantly during the fiscal year, indexes measuring the performance of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks finished the period with positive, double-digit returns. In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed value stocks. The sectors with the highest returns in the Russell Midcap Growth Index included more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials, materials and information technology (IT). Conversely, the utilities sector was the only sector with a negative return during the period.
The Fund had double-digit absolute returns, but underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the fiscal year. The Fund underperformed by the

widest margin in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors. Some of this underperformance was offset by outperformance in other sectors, including utilities, industrials, energy and IT.
The Fund underperformed most significantly in the consumer discretionary sector, primarily driven by stock selection. Within this sector, key detractors from performance included for-profit education services providers ITT Educational Services and Grand Canyon Education as well as discount department store operator J.C. Penney. We sold ITT Educational Services and J.C. Penney.
Another area of weakness for the Fund was the materials sector, where the Fund’s holdings generally underperformed those of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Within this sector, holdings that detracted from performance included steel producer Steel Dynamics and fertilizer maker Intrepid Potash. We sold these two holdings.
Some of this underperformance was offset by outperformance in other sectors. The Fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index by the widest margin in the utilities sector, due to stock selection and an underweight position. One holding that contributed to performance was electric power generation plant operator KGen Power. This underweight position was a benefit as this more defensive sector was the weakest-performing sector in the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the reporting period.
Outperformance in the industrials sector was due to stock selection and an overweight position. The leading contributor to overall Fund performance was electrical products maker Baldor Electric. The stock price of this holding appreciated following the announcement that the company was being acquired at a premium by a competitor. We sold the Fund’s position in this holding following this positive news, locking in gains for shareholders.
Outperformance in the energy sector was driven by stock selection. Two examples of energy holdings that contributed to performance included oil and gas exploration and production firms Concho Resources and Oasis Petroleum.
The Fund outperformed in the IT sector due to stock selection. One of the leading contributors to performance in this sector was enterprise software maker Tibco Software. This company benefited from strong growth in revenues and earnings during the period.
During the fiscal year, we reduced the Fund’s exposure in the financials and energy sectors. Proceeds from the sale of holdings in these sectors were used to add exposure in other sectors such as IT.
As we’ve discussed, the stock market experienced significant volatility during the fiscal year. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program. We thank you for your commitment to Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a
doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets. compared with other types of stock. As a result, they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more volatile.
Stocks of small and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments in the above factors and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund
| | |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .745% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .73% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .715% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .685% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .655% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .64% |
|
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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Fund, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such
Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund
Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,223 and class level expenses of $5 for Series II shares.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $124,305 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund
NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,375,912 and securities sales of $998,647, which resulted in net realized gains of $300,066.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,599 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 9,144,651 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (22,673 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (1,722 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (26,043,462 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 70,433,490 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 53,510,284 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $6,752,681 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 15,509,594 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 10,533,868 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 26,043,462 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 10,557,674 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (1,413,023 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 9,144,651 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $45,217,455. |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $172,662, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $48,551,104 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $48,723,766. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 71% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Dynamics Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Dynamics Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
Effective June 25, 2010, Meggan Walsh assumed sole management of Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund. She is supported by a team of equity analysts.
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund delivered a positive return but underperformed the S&P 500 Index and its style-specific benchmark, the S&P 500 Financials Index. While we managed the Fund for only part of this time, our comments encompass the entire period.
Investments in commercial banks and insurance firms were the largest contributors to Fund results and only a few holdings detracted from returns for the year. The Fund lagged the S&P 500 Financials Index partly due to a lack of exposure to real estate investment trusts (REITs), which performed well and are a large part of the index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We seek to identify companies within the financials sector that exhibit attractive total return potential. We emphasize companies with solid balance sheets and operating cash flow that support sustained or increasing dividends and/or share repurchases. Emphasis is placed on companies that we expect will grow cash flows profitably over time. By using fundamental research, financial statement analysis and multiple valuation techniques, we estimate a target price for each stock over a two- to three-year investment horizon. We then construct a portfolio which we believe may provide the best combination of price appreciation potential, dividend income and risk profile. We consider selling or trimming a stock when any of these factors materially change.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets delivered strong returns but were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profitability and soft, albeit improving, macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings improved considerably over the past year as high productivity growth and cost-cutting measures made during the economic downturn led to a rebound in margins and profits. However, high unemployment, weak consumer spending and tepid housing data remained as overhangs to the recovery. The sovereign debt crisis also contributed to market volatility as European countries began implementing austerity programs. Most recently, the market reversed course and rallied again during the last four months of the year
on better economic news, ending the fiscal year with double-digit gains.
All 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains for the year. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care and utilities had some of the lowest returns. The S&P 500 financials services sector returned 12.13% for the period, slightly below the 15.08% return for the overall S&P 500 Index.
Commercial banks, and more specifically regional banks, made the largest contribution to Fund results during the period. Among these, Fifth Third Bancorp, Zions Bancorporation and SunTrust Banks were top contributors to the Fund, each producing a double-digit gain. Fifth Third Bancorp reported solid results largely due to improving credit trends. The company was proactive in addressing early stage problem credit during the downturn, and we believed it would be one of the first to move to a more normal run rate. This view appears accurate as Fifth Third Bancorp’s nonperforming assets likely peaked in the first quarter, and the bank has subsequently returned to profitability.
Insurers also made a strong contribution to results. XL Group, a global insurance company offering commercial and specialty coverage, delivered results in line with expectations and announced a relaunch of their share buyback plan. The company’s balance sheet improved, which led to revaluation of shares.
The largest detractor from results was investment bank FBR Capital Markets. The company reported losses during the year due to weak equity trading volumes on their brokerage business, and weaker than expected investment banking

results. We reduced our position in this holding during the period.
H&R Block was another detractor from results as the company faced both cyclical and secular pressures. While the high unemployment rate lowered the number of tax filers, H&R Block continued to cede market share to online tax preparation providers and smaller independent providers. Shares also were negatively affected by the ongoing regulatory uncertainties with regard to mortgage repurchase liability. More recently, the decision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to not allow HSBC (not a Fund holding) to fund H&R Block’s refund anticipation loans also negatively affected the stock. Although these issues are concerns, we added to the position as we believed the stock’s valuation reflected a greater negative impact than we believed was warranted.
Since taking over the Fund in June, we made a number of small changes to the portfolio. We added several investment bank holdings, slightly increasing our exposure to regional banks, and we eliminated a number of insurance brokerage holdings. At the end of the year, our largest exposures were in the capital markets and commercial banking industries.
The fiscal period witnessed a broad recovery in corporate earnings led by strong operating leverage. For financials, credit conditions have broadly recovered in many key areas. There are early signs of loan growth recovery, and some of the largest banks have returned to profitability. However, the unemployment rate remains high and we are cautiously monitoring the durability of the economy’s recovery.
We believe one of our competitive advantages is a disciplined approach to evaluating financial services companies from a total return perspective; focusing not only on their capital appreciation potential, but also on their current dividend income and capital preservation. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your investment in Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $2,000 and $4,000 is the same size as the space between $4,000 and $8,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
An investment by the Fund in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain shares of the ETFs in which the Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile.
The financial services sector is subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently. In addition, the profitability of businesses in the financial services sector depends on the availability and cost of money and may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in government regulation, interest rates and general economic conditions. Businesses in the financial sector often operate with substantial financial leverage.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer. A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified Fund.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Value stocks may react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks and may never realize their full value. Value stocks tend to be currently out-of-favor with many investors.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital growth.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile. |
| | The financial services sector is subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently. In addition, the profitability of businesses in the financial service sector depends on the availability and cost of money and may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in government regulation, interest rates and general economic conditions. Businesses in the financial sector often operate with substantial financial leverage. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .74% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .73% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .72% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .71% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .69% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .68% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund
numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $5,483.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $159,326 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $294,303, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(387,452).
Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,637 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 56,868 | | | $ | 1,861,072 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 1,160,864 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (25,317 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (804,658 | ) |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 108,807,012 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 64,250,667 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 22,458,450 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 7,806,568 | |
|
December 31, 2018 | | | 14,622,216 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 44,887,234 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of partnerships, net operating losses and foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $7,018, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $24,361 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $17,343. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund, (formerly known as AIM V.I. Financial Services Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the economy showed signs of improvement, fueling equity markets’ continued upward trajectory. The health care sector, however, suffered as a result of the rotation to more cyclical stocks as investors anticipated an economic recovery. As a result, Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund underperformed the broad market, as measured by the MSCI World Index. The Fund, however, outperformed its style-specific index the MSCI World Health Care Index as a result of both stock selection and market allocation, particularly in the biotechnology and managed health care industries.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We seek health care stocks of all market capitalizations from around the world that we believe are attractively priced and have the potential to benefit from long-term earnings and cash flow growth.
In selecting securities for the Fund, we first screen the global investment universe. Stocks of at least $200 million in market capitalization are considered for further evaluation if they are identified as having attractive growth prospects relative to their current valuations. We use a research-oriented bottom-up investment approach, focusing on company fundamentals in an effort to uncover future growth prospects which are not yet appreciated by the market.
In analyzing specific industries for possible investment, we ordinarily look for several of the following characteristics: above-average growth and demand;
scientific and medical advances; below-average reimbursement risk; and high barriers to entry.
In analyzing specific companies for possible investment, we ordinarily look for several of the following characteristics: leading companies with defensible franchises; companies in the midst of a new product cycle; value-added and/or niche-oriented products and/or services; exhibiting sustainable revenue growth; potential to expand profit margins and improve profitability; superior earnings-per-share growth; strong balance sheet and moderate financial leverage; and a capable management team.
Stock selection is then further refined by valuation analysis. In general, we target stocks trading at compelling valuations based upon one or more of the following parameters: price-to-earnings (P/E); P/E ratio versus expected earnings
per share growth rate; enterprise value to earnings-before-interest-depreciation-and-taxes (EBITDA); discounted cash flow analysis; and sum of parts analysis.
The resulting target portfolio consists of 50 to 80 individual securities with exposure across most subsectors of health care and diversified by region. Additionally, position size is limited in an effort to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
We may reduce or eliminate exposure to a stock when:
n | | A stock’s price reaches its valuation target. |
|
n | | A company’s fundamentals deteriorate. |
|
n | | A company no longer meets our investment criteria. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, the major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a double-dip recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a subnormal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course and rallied in September and October on modestly better economic news, ending the year with double-digit gains.

Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund
The major equity indexes garnered positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
Most health care industries contributed to the Fund’s absolute performance over the fiscal year, with the exception of health care equipment, pharmaceuticals and health care supplies. Holdings in biotechnology and managed health care were particularly beneficial from both an absolute basis and relative to the MSCI World Health Care Index. Security selection in the health care equipment and pharmaceuticals industries, however, hurt the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark during the reporting period.
Top contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance during the fiscal year were Genzyme, a biotechnology stock in which the Fund was overweight relative to the index, and BioMarin Pharmaceutical, an out-of-index biotechnology stock. Within managed health care, out-of-index holdings AMERIGROUP, Amil Participacoes S.A. and Health Net also benefited the Fund’s relative performance.
Detractors from Fund performance included Boston Scientific, a health care equipment manufacturer, and Gilead Sciences, a biotechnology firm. It is important to note both stocks were also included in the index, however, the Fund held an overweight exposure. During the reporting period, Boston Scientific settled long-standing stent patent disputes with Johnson & Johnson. Gilead Sciences, however, suffered following their announcement of a reduced sales forecast for 2010 due to the impact of health care reform. Boston Scientific is no longer held by the Fund. Within pharmaceuticals, the largest relative detractor to Fund performance was a lack of exposure in the index holding Novo Nordisk.
As part of our policy to manage risk, the Fund held derivative instruments in the form of currency forward contracts in order to hedge our European currency exposure. The net cumulative effect of these derivative contracts was positive for Fund performance during the fiscal year.
We continued to focus on companies with new product cycles, less reimbursement risk and less competition. Relative to the MSCI World Health Care Index, we
maintained a significant underweight position in large-cap pharmaceuticals because many firms face looming patent expirations with limited drug pipelines, which may result in modest, if any, earnings growth.
It is important to note that we tend to favor profitable large-cap biotechnology companies that are generating sufficient free cash flow rather than small-cap start-ups that typically lack liquidity and earnings. Our emphasis on specialty pharmaceuticals and biotechnology stocks is based on robust in-line portfolios, compelling product pipelines and the view that many of these companies could be targets of ongoing consolidation. Importantly, we believe valuations for many of these companies were near historic lows.
The majority of the Fund is invested in domestic stocks, where we have found more companies that fit our fundamental selection criteria. The Fund’s international weight was focused mainly on European large-cap pharmaceuticals, which have fewer patent expiration concerns.
We believe longer term prospects for the health care sector are compelling. We now have clarity about U.S. health care reform, with coverage expansion expected to add 32 million participants, according to the Congressional Budget Office. This could translate into accelerated revenue growth. Internationally, developed markets remained relatively stable, while emerging markets continued to grow rapidly as these countries were expected to spend more on health care as standards of living rise. In our opinion, health care stocks were also inexpensive on both a historical basis and relative to the market, despite having better earnings growth prospects through the economic cycle.
As always, thank you for your continued investment in Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an
investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
An investment by the Fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each fund may invest are leveraged. The more a fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
Fluctuations in the values of synthetic instruments may not correlate perfectly with the instruments they are designed to replicate. Some synthetic instruments are more sensitive to interest rate changes and market price fluctuations than others.
The Fund’s performance is vulnerable to factors affecting the health care industry, including government regulation, obsolescence caused by scientific advances and technological innovations.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Industry classifications used in this report are generally classified according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Other Risks — The Fund may invest a large percentage of assets in securities of a limited number of companies, such that each investment may have a greater effect on the Fund’s overall performance, and any change in the value of those securities could significantly affect the value of your investment in the Fund. |
| | The Fund has invested in non-publicly traded companies, some of which are in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky, as the market for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. The Fund could lose its entire investment in these companies. These investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments in privately held venture capital securities are illiquid. |
J. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
L. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $11,733.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $386,324 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund
(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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $352,186.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,859 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 477,798 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 12,676,656 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 6,799 | |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 159,659,787 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 150,504,454 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund
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 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 utilized $6,395,734 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss

|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 12,676,656 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $139,575,276. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $350,528, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $15,773 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $334,755. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Global Health Care Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Global Healthcare Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Global Healthcare Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Global Healthcare Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Series I shares of Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund, excluding variable product issuer charges, returned 11.80%, outperforming the Fund’s custom style-specific benchmark, which returned 10.20% over the same period. Tactical shifts in favor of equities and third and fourth quarter recoveries in both equity and fixed income markets helped facilitate the outperformance for the reporting period.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

*During the reporting period, the Fund has elected to use the Lipper VUF Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Category Average as its peer group rather than the Lipper VUF Global Core Funds Index because we believe it more closely reflects the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests. Because this is the first reporting period since we adopted the new index, SEC guidelines require that we compare performance to both the old and new indexes. |
How we invest
Invesco Global Asset Allocation’s (IGAA) investment process is a quantitative, actively managed three-step investment strategy designed to generate a unique source of excess returns from a macro based, multi-asset investment discipline. This process is implemented through the use of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that may utilize derivative investments, namely swaps, options, warrants, futures and forward currency contracts.
Step One – Fundamental Research
Fundamental research is used to identify the key drivers of relative performance for asset class, country and other investment decision models. This research includes the following:
n | | An analysis of markets to determine the distinctive characteristics of each market relative to its comparison universe. |
n | | The generation of hypotheses about how various economic events will interact with these characteristics and affect relative performance. |
|
n | | Confirmation or revision of hypothesis through empirical research. |
Step Two – Quantitative Modeling
Fundamental research from step one is used to create quantitative models focusing on valuation and dynamics.
n | | To address valuation, IGAA determines if competing investment alternatives are cheap or expensive relative to their underlying fundamentals. Valuation focuses on the longer term, secular influences on each asset and suggests that there is a mean reverting, long-term or equilibrium relationship between prices and fundamentals. |
|
n | | Shorter-term factors, which are largely proxies for the economic environment and investor positioning, reconcile the |
| | short-run behavior of asset prices with their long-run behavior and recognizes that these misvaluations may not correct instantaneously. |
The output of the modeling is expressed in the form of probabilities that one asset will outperform another, resulting in a quantitative expression of IGAA’s fundamental investment process in a mathematical-based approach.
Step Three – Portfolio Strategy
IGAA directly maps the probabilities to express the relative attractiveness of any investment decision within the Fund’s specified allocation ranges. Ranges around target allocations for each decision are determined through IGAA’s proprietary allocation budgeting process that is based on the number of available decisions, the amount of expected aggregate portfolio outperformance and the risk characteristics of each available decision. Generally speaking, riskier asset decisions will have smaller ranges, while less risky, low correlation asset decisions will tend to have larger ranges.
Market conditions and your Fund
The first quarter of 2010 was characterized by a healthy recovery in global equities from the 2008-2009 financial crises. Hopes for a relatively rapid, sustained recovery were fueled by record amounts of monetary and fiscal stimulus and an exceptionally low interest rate policy. Not surprising, cyclical assets, such as equities, enjoyed significant price advances during that period driven by anticipation that improving economic conditions would boost earnings growth.
At the onset of the second quarter of 2010, Chinese officials began to tighten monetary policy in response to fears about inflation, creating concerns about the pace of growth for the Chinese economy and its impact on demand for commodities. Furthermore, concerns

Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund
about a double-dip recession in the U.S. and fiscal concerns in the peripheral economies of Europe, such as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, ignited fears of a renewed global economic slowdown. These developments led to a flight to safety approach among global investors driving government bond yields of the world’s largest industrial countries to multi-decade lows.
During the first half of the reporting period, the strategy remained defensive in the wake of heightened financial market volatility and economic uncertainty. This was reflected in an overweight in government bonds and an underweight in global equities.
The third quarter witnessed the rare event of increases in virtually all asset prices. Two events and related policy responses drove returns: the peripheral European debt crisis and the marked slowdown in the U.S. In the case of Europe, the creation of a facility to support the troubled economies removed the worst of the uncertainty. Riskier assets such as equities rose in response. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve set expectations for a second round of quantitative easing. Government bonds benefited from both the economic events and the U.S. policy response, resulting in yields across the curve hovering at or near multi-decade lows. The policy response also proved to be a boon for equities which rebounded strongly in the second half of the quarter. Commodities also had a very eventful quarter, with all of the major complexes posting positive returns. A tactical overweight in equities and an underweight in long-term government fixed income securities helped boost the Fund’s performance.
Global equity markets resumed their advance in the fourth quarter. Equities were supported by very loose monetary conditions and the belief that the world’s seven largest industrial (G7) economies had recovered from the soft patch that we had seen during the summer months. For the emerging markets, the economic landscape was even brighter, with rising asset values, strengthening business activity and even a hint of inflationary pressures. The recent rise in government bond yields has taken valuation much closer to our estimate for fair value. The various commodity complexes all enjoyed price advances during the quarter, propelled by tightening supply-demand balances and good economic prospects among the commodity-intensive emerging markets.
The Fund’s active position favoring equities, particularly the European and emerging markets sleeves, helped reap benefits from the equity rally at the end the reporting period. As a result, performance was favorable on an absolute and relative basis, excluding variable product issuer charges.

Fund data from 10/24/08, Index data from 10/31/08
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
During the reporting period, the Fund has elected to use the Lipper VUF Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Category Average as its peer group rather than the Lipper VUF Global Core Funds Index because we believe it more closely reflects the performance of the securities in which the Fund invests. Because this is the first reporting period since we adopted the new index, SEC guidelines require that we compare performance to both the old and new indexes.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The Fund’s performance depends on the underlying funds in which it invests, and it is subject to the risks of the underlying funds. Market fluctuations may change the target weightings in the underlying funds. The underlying funds may change their investment objectives, policies or practices and may not achieve their investment objectives, all of which may cause the Fund to withdraw its investments therein at a disadvantageous time.
An investment by the Fund in underlying exchange-traded funds (ETFs) generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, underlying ETFs may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the underlying ETF shares price to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the underlying ETF shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF shares; (4) failure of the ETF shares to track the referenced index; and (5) holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which the Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in a single issuer. A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of the Fund more than if it were diversified fund.
The Fund may invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments, exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and exchange traded funds that may subject it to greater volatility. The Fund’s concentration of its assets in a particular sector of the commodities markets may make it more susceptible to risks associated with those sectors. ETNs may pose risks associated with leverage, may be relatively illiquid, and may not be able to track the applicable market benchmark or strategy accurately.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund, the underlying ETFs, and any other underlying funds may decline in response to, among other
things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
An underlying fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Derivatives may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments and may be subject to market, interest rate, credit, leverage, counterparty and management risks. An underlying fund investing in a derivative could lose more than the cash amount invested or incur higher taxes. Over-the-counter derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments, including derivatives, may impair an underlying fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.
An underlying fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
Certain of the underlying funds may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received
earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s or the underlying fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments and lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
Certain underlying funds may hold illiquid securities that it is unable to sell at the preferred time or price and could lose its entire investment in such securities.
An issuer’s ability to prepay principal on a loan or debt security prior to maturity can limit an underlying fund’s potential gains. Prepayments may require an underlying fund to replace the loan or debt security with a lower yielding security, adversely affecting an underlying fund’s yield.

Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return consistent with a moderate level of risk relative to the broad stock market. The Fund primarily invests in exchange-traded funds (“underlying funds”) advised by Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (“Invesco PowerShares”). The Fund may also invest in affiliated mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco); in unaffiliated mutual funds and exchange-traded funds and in other securities. Invesco and Invesco PowerShares (collectively the “Advisers”) are affiliates of each other as they are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”). Invesco may change the Fund’s asset class allocations, the underlying funds or the target weightings in the underlying funds without shareholder approval. The underlying funds may engage in a number of investment techniques and practices, which involve certain risks. Each underlying fund’s accounting policies are outlined in the underlying fund’s financial statements and the affiliated underlying funds are available upon request.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, |
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund
| | |
| | maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. Distributions from income from underlying funds, if any, are recorded as dividend income on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gains from underlying funds, if any, are recorded as realized gains on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
D. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
E. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
F. | | 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. |
G. | | 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 performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund 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 $250 million | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .655% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .64% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .625% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .61% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .595% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .58% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .565% |
|
Under the terms of master intergroup sub-advisory contracts 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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective April 30, 2010, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and /or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.10% and Series II shares to 0.35% of average daily net assets. Prior to April 30, 2010, the Adviser had contractually agreed to limit total amount fund operating expense of Series I to 0.18% and Series II shares to 0.43% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Funds have incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $378,815 and reimbursed Fund expenses of $193,753.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $142,391 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,607 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |

|
Ordinary income | | $ | 215,155 | | | $ | 549,329 | |

Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,820,342 | |
|
Undistributed long-term gain | | | 1,179,944 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 6,503,134 | |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 57,685,808 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 67,184,245 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward at period-end.
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $85,403,793 and $68,856,249, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 93% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |

Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. PowerShares ETF Allocation Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Global Multi-Asset Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
Returns from listed real estate were generally positive during the calendar year ended December 31, 2010, reflecting a positive sentiment toward asset classes and equity sectors capable of delivering attractive yields. As a result, Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund delivered positive returns over the period and outperformed the Fund’s broad market index, the MSCI World Index, by a wide margin. The Fund’s underperformance relative to its style-specific benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index, was primarily the result of security selection within U.S. REITs.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
Your Fund primarily holds real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other property-related securities from the U.S. and abroad whose value is driven by tangible assets. Our goal is to create a global Fund focused on total return that will perform at or above index levels with comparable levels of risk. Our investment strategy focuses on identifying U.S. and non-U.S. property types we believe will benefit from long-term sector trends. We use a fundamentals-driven investment process, including property market cycle analysis, property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with:
n | | Quality underlying properties. |
|
n | | Solid management teams and flexible balance sheets. |
|
n | | Attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives. |
We attempt to manage risk by diversifying property types and geographic locations, as well as limiting the size of any one holding.
We consider selling a holding when:
n | | Relative valuation falls below desired levels. |
|
n | | Risk/return relationships change significantly. |
|
n | | Company fundamentals (property type, geography or management) change. |
|
n | | A more attractive investment opportunity is identified. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets fluctuated during 2010 as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone. Meanwhile U.S. economic
indicators remained weak, prompting concerns of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a sub-normal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course and rallied in September and October on modestly better economic news, ending the year with double-digit gains.
The major equity indexes had positive returns for the calendar year, and all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
Given this environment, global real estate securities, as measured by the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Real Estate Index, and the Fund produced gains for the year and outperformed the broad market, as measured by the MSCI World Index. The Fund, however, underperformed its style specific benchmark for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition to security selection in U.S. REITs, security selection and underweight positions in real estate securities in Sweden and Germany also negatively affected the Fund’s relative performance. Conversely, the Fund benefited from security selection in real estate securities in Singapore and the Netherlands. Market allocation to Australian Listed Property Trusts (LPT) was also a relative contributor during the year.
Top contributors during the year included Simon Property Group and Equity Residential. Recent equity offerings and debt refinancing by Simon Property Group, a REIT, which offered an attractive portfolio of top-tier U.S.

Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
regional malls, covered near-term debt maturities and provided necessary capital for future acquisition opportunities. Equity Residential is the largest public multifamily REIT. The multifamily sector is benefitting from a strong fundamental environment, such as demographic trends, low supply and a declining homeownership rate. These unique conditions have resulted in high occupancy rates and the expectation of attractive rental growth.
Top detractors from the Fund’s performance included Henderson Land Development and Unite Group, two property development companies which experienced lackluster performance following strong returns in 2009. Henderson Land Development focuses on high-quality residential and commercial property development in Hong Kong and throughout mainland China. Unite Group, on the other hand, focuses on student residential accommodations in the U.K.
At the end of 2010 and relative to our style-specific benchmark, we were modestly overweight in Japan, Hong Kong/China and the Netherlands. Conversely, we were underweight in the U.S., Singapore and Canada. Additionally, the Fund had no exposure to Germany and Belgium, while the index held modest exposure to these countries.
We generally maintained our bias toward companies with higher quality assets and tenant rosters and flexible balance sheets with longer-term debt maturities. As a result of improvements in economic growth, we sought to add positions in companies capable of delivering higher cash flow growth. We continued to maintain a well-diversified portfolio across all property types and global economic regions, based on a combination of relative fundamentals and stock valuations.

Fund and index data from 3/31/98
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
An investment by an underlying fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; (4) failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and (5) holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which the Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.
The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
Short sales may cause the Fund to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how
much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.
The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
To the extent, the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
| | The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The Fund records as dividend income the amount recharacterized as ordinary income and as realized gain the amount recharacterized as capital gain in the Statement of Operations, and the amount recharacterized as return of capital as a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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 |
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds, and the value of the Fund’s investments may tend to rise and fall more rapidly. |
| | The Fund concentrates its assets in the real estate industry, an investment in the fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural or technological developments. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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:

Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,721.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $345,792 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,810 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 7,197,654 | | | $ | — | |
|
Invesco V.I. Global Real Estate Fund
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 7,672,227 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 21,403,412 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (4,422 | ) |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (22,756 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (29,456 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (37,492,779 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 173,949,870 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 165,476,096 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales passive foreign investment companies.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $3,823,926 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 14,871,434 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 22,621,345 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 37,492,779 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $130,898,932 and $122,272,867, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 22,411,762 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (1,008,350 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 21,403,412 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $141,792,772. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,722,563 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $1,722,563. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund underperformed its style-specific and broad market indexes. Duration positioning within the Fund contributed to slight underperformance relative to our style-specific benchmark. The Fund’s underperformance of its broad market index can be attributed to the Fund’s government securities-only mandate during a period when non-government securities outperformed.

How we invest
We invest primarily in debt securities issued, guaranteed or backed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. These securities include: U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, U.S. agency debentures and agency-backed mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as interest rate futures contracts and swap agreements and engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions, a form of repurchase agreement activity in the to-be-announced (TBA) market for agency mortgage-backed securities.
Our security selection is supported by a team of independent specialists. Team members conduct top-down macroeconomic as well as bottom-up analysis on individual securities. Recommendations are communicated to portfolio managers through proprietary technology that allows all investment professionals to communicate in a timely manner.
Portfolio construction begins with a well-defined Fund design that establishes
the target investment vehicles for generating the desired “alpha” (the extra return above a specific benchmark) as well as the risk parameters for the Fund. Investment vehicles are evaluated for liquidity and relative value.
Sell decisions are based on:
n | | A conscious decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning, sector exposure). |
|
n | | The need to limit or reduce exposure to a particular sector or issuer. |
|
n | | Degradation of an issuer’s credit quality. |
|
n | | Realignment of a valuation target. |
|
n | | Presentation of a better relative value opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
In the U.S. and much of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued during 2010, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures.
This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. However, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although the pace remained modest as stubbornly high unemployment and housing sector weakness continued to weigh on the economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by stating: “The Committee anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability, although the pace of economic recovery is likely to be more modest in the near term than had been anticipated.”2
U.S. Treasury yields for securities with maturities of two to 30 years ended the year lower than at the start, indicative of positive 12-month returns across government bond sectors.3 Treasuries performed well for the year despite a significant rise in yields for intermediate and longer maturity securities during the final three months of 2010, driven by rising inflation expectations and improving economic data. The broader U.S. investment grade bond market, as

measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, also generated positive total return for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. Slow economic growth, the avoidance of a double-dip recession, a recovery in corporate financial health, strong inflows into credit-related asset classes and low overall interest rates supported the performance of bonds, especially non-government sectors.
In this environment, the Fund generated positive returns, but slightly underperformed its style-specific index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Index, for the year. Within the Fund, allocation decisions that favored the yield advantage and price stability of short average life agency MBS, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and higher coupon agency pass-through MBS slightly benefited performance versus the style-specific index, and contributed to a higher-than-index average yield-to-maturity for the period.
To accommodate the emphasis on agency CMO and MBS, the Fund maintained an underweight allocation in lower yielding fixed-rate, fixed-maturity U.S. Treasuries. The Fund also benefited from incremental income earned by engaging in dollar (mortgage) roll activity, a type of repurchase transaction in the highly liquid TBA market for agency MBS. A dollar roll involves the Fund selling an MBS to a financial institution, with an agreement to repurchase a substantially similar security at an agreed upon price and date. Cash proceeds from the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, generate income for the Fund.
The Fund also can use active duration and yield curve positioning for risk management and for generating alpha versus its style-specific benchmark. Duration measures a portfolio’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes, with a shorter duration portfolio tending to be less sensitive to these changes. The contribution to performance from duration positioning versus the style-specific benchmark was mixed over the period, but overall it had a negative effect. On average, we maintained duration positioning close to neutral versus the style-specific benchmark for the year, but the timing and magnitude of tactical changes were detrimental to relative returns. We were slightly shorter in duration than the style-specific index
for much of the first three quarters of the year when interest rates trended lower. This prevented us from fully participating in the rally as longer duration asset class prices rose. Likewise, a sustained longer-than-style-specific-index duration positioning during the fourth quarter of 2010 was also detrimental to performance as interest rates rose.
Yield curve positioning during the third and fourth quarters, when the portfolio held a greater quantity of longer duration securities than the index, also had a slight negative effect on performance. U.S. Treasury note futures contracts were an important tool used in the management of our targeted portfolio duration.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa.
Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
The Fund may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value.
The Fund may use enhanced investment techniques such as derivatives. The principal risk of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk — the risk that the other party will not complete the transaction with the Fund.
Leveraging entails risks such as magnifying changes in the value of the portfolio’s securities.
Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price or that the other party may default on its obligation, resulting in delays, additional costs or the restriction of proceeds from the sale.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the |
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
| | |
| | security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 — Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. |
| | 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund

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 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. | | Other Risks — The Funds may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. |
J. | | Dollar Roll and Forward Commitment Transactions — The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. |
| | In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a “fee” or a “drop”. “Fee” income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the “drop” which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. |
| | At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. |
| | Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. |
| | Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund’s overall interest rate exposure. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
L. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or |
Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
| | |
| | delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Over $250 million | | | 0 | .45% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.73% and Series II shares to 0.98% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $279,186.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $285,632 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,956,166 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $13,027,220, which resulted in net realized gains of $50,213.
NOTE 6—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $121.
NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $5,459 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets.

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 1,080,930,022 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 1,096,479,225 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $31,156,599 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |

NOTE 10—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $614,267,331 and $794,289,411, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $108,130,115 and $33,548,954, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period end.

Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (5,571,358 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 19,984,727 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,095,654,400. |
NOTE 11—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of paydown gains (losses), on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $13,929,055, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $13,929,055. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Government Securities Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund underperformed the Fund’s style-specific index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index, due mainly to the Fund’s conservative posture during the 12-month period.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We invest primarily in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality. These bonds, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are typically corporate bonds of U.S.-based companies, many of which are moderately sized firms. We principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above, although we regularly own bonds of lesser quality as well. We may invest in convertible bonds, preferred stock, derivatives and bank loans, but do not expect these instruments to currently be a substantial part of our portfolio. We may invest up to 25% of total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in developing markets.
The primary driver of our security selection is fundamental bottom-up credit analysis conducted by a team of analysts who specialize by industry. This approach is augmented with an on-going review of the relative value of securities and a top-down process that includes sector, economic and quantitative analysis. Changes in a security’s risk/return profile or relative value and top-down factors generally determine buy and sell decisions.
Portfolio construction begins with a well-defined Fund design that emphasizes diversification and establishes the target investment vehicles for generating the desired “alpha” (the return expected from an investment) as well as the risk parameters appropriate for the current positioning in the credit cycle.
Investments are evaluated for liquidity and risk versus relative value. Working closely with other investment specialists and traders, we determine the timing and amount of each “alpha” decision to use in the portfolio at any time, taking into account security selection skill and market opportunities.
Sell decisions are based on:
n | | Low equity value to debt, high subordination and negative free cash flow coupled with negative news, declining expectations or an increasing risk profile. |
|
n | | Very low yields. |
|
n | | Presentation of a better relative value opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. However, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although the pace of recovery remained modest as stubbornly high unemployment and export weakness continued to weigh on the economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S.

Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by stating: “The Committee anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability, although the pace of economic recovery is likely to be more modest in the near term than had been anticipated.”2 Consequently, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep interest rates low for an extended period.
Defaults in the high yield bond market reached extreme lows in 2010 and were below those recorded during the previous year.
The broad U.S. high yield bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index, generated strong positive total return for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. Slow but steady economic growth, the avoidance of a double-dip recession, a recovery in corporate financial health, strong inflows into the high yield asset class, low overall interest rates and a decline in defaults boosted the performance of high yield bonds. In May and November of 2010, debt concerns in Europe caused investors to scale back their risk profile and embrace the safe haven of U.S. government-related securities. Late in the year, U.S. Treasury yields began to rise. Nonetheless, the impact was insufficient to erase gains realized by non-government bonds over the reporting period.
On an absolute basis, the Fund generated positive returns for the 12-month period. We gradually tempered our risk taking throughout the year and reduced the Fund’s exposure to CCC-rated bonds to position the Fund for principal protection, given fewer opportunities in this segment of the market.
The main detractor from Fund performance was security selection in communications and financial institutions industries. Within communications, the wireless and media noncable industries were the primary detractors from Fund performance. The Fund’s wireless position was the largest detractor for the year, driven by a holding that was
affected by European sovereign debt problems. Within financial institutions, the Fund was hurt by not holding some of the more aggressive banking securities, as well as by an underweight position in the non-captive diversified and non-captive consumer finance bonds.
Investments that added to the Fund’s performance varied. The primary contributors to Fund performance were an underweight position in the electric industry and security selection in the automotive industry and the health care sector. Our underweight in the electric industry was beneficial as it was the second lowest-performing industry in the high yield market. Overall, consumer cyclical and consumer noncyclical securities enhanced Fund performance. Within the consumer cyclical asset class, security selection and overweight positions in the automotive and gaming industries were leading contributors to performance, and within consumer noncyclical market segment, security selection and a slight underweight position in the health care sector and the food and beverage industry were the top contributors to performance.
We remain generally positive in our assessment of high yield securities; however, macroeconomic risks, slow economic growth and the potential for a double-dip recession and current valuations make us cautious about owning riskier assets. We believe the risk of holding those highest risk securities outweighs potential benefits for the Fund at this time.
Thank you for investing in Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
The Fund has elected to use the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index as its style-specific benchmark instead of the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index because it will better align the Fund’s style-specific benchmark with its investment process and restrictions. Because this is the first annual report
since we have adopted the new index, SEC guidelines require that we compare performance for both the old and the new index.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the
one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa.
The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.
Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries.
Leveraging entails risks such as magnifying changes in the value of the portfolio’s securities.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The Fund may engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities, which may result in added expenses, lower return and increased tax liability.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities 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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
| | |
| | between the last bid and 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. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
| | |
F. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Lower-Rated Securities — The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims. |
J. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
L. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
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 $200 million | | | 0 | .625% |
|
Next $300 million | | | 0 | .55% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Over $1 billion | | | 0 | .45% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.95% and Series II shares to 1.20% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $124,628.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $132,873 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund
| | |
| 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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,615 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund may borrow for leveraging in an amount up to 5% of the Fund’s total assets (excluding the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made. In doing so, the Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when any borrowings from banks exceeds 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Distributions to Shareholders:
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 5,322,863 | | | $ | 4,461,104 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 4,263,103 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 1,905,236 | |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 55,240,044 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 56,299,542 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $3,585,252 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 3,209,400 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 1,834,418 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 5,043,818 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,905,236 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $52,829,491. |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $221,727, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $6,861,500 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $6,639,773. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund, (formerly known as AIM V.I. High Yield Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, all share classes of Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund delivered double-digit gains, outperforming its style-specific benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index. The Fund’s allocations in the Asia/Pacific region provided the largest contribution to performance. The Fund’s exposure to strong-performing emerging market stocks, a segment of the market not represented in the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, also enhanced relative returns.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
When selecting stocks for your Fund, we employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes fundamental research, supported by both quantitative analysis and portfolio construction techniques. Our EQV (earnings, quality, valuation) strategy focuses primarily on identifying quality companies that have experienced, or exhibit the potential for, accelerated or above-average earnings growth, but their stock prices have not fully reflected these attributes.
While research responsibilities within the portfolio management team are focused by geographic region, we select investments for the Fund using a bottom-up investment approach, which means we construct the Fund primarily on a stock-by-stock basis. We focus on the strengths of individual companies rather than sectors, countries or market-cap trends.
We believe disciplined sell decisions are key to successful investing. We consider selling a stock for one of the following reasons:
n | | A company’s fundamentals deteriorate, or it posts disappointing earnings. |
|
n | | A stock’s price seems overvalued. |
|
n | | A more attractive opportunity becomes available. |
Market conditions and your Fund
After rallying for much of 2009 on prospects of improving global economic conditions, global equity markets faced headwinds in early 2010. Notably, several southern European economies, including Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, faced solvency concerns amid massive fiscal deficits. Although the U.S. economy expanded in 2010, investors continued to be concerned about high unemployment and a still-weak housing market. However, equity markets seemed to shrug off some of the macroeconomic burdens that pulled them into double-digit losses in the first half of 2010, ending the year with strong gains.
Looking at Asian markets, the message was pretty simple — growth fundamentals remained stronger here than in the West.
And, although we saw marginal differences in stock valuations, with slight premiums in some areas, it was nothing overly concerning, in our opinion.
Emerging markets, the biggest winners in 2010, saw exports slow during the latter half of the reporting period. The deceleration in exports was offset, however, by strong growth in retail and auto sales, as well as strong housing markets within emerging economies. The key drivers for growth in domestic demand were low interest rates and underleveraged consumers.
Turning to Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) remained an interesting foil to the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed), as ECB officials showed little sign they were willing to provide additional economic stimulus. Instead, they seemed to be leaving the heavy global economic lifting to the Fed. As a result, we saw the slide in the euro’s value reverse during the first half of 2010. After June, the euro appreciated by double digits versus the dollar, which sparked numerous headlines downplaying growth prospects for the eurozone economy. Nevertheless, Europe’s solid performance during a period of marked volatility served as a useful reminder that, in general, when people focus disproportionately on macroeconomic or gross domestic product (GDP) trends in a market, stocks, when they move contrary to common wisdom, can surprise investors.
In this environment, we continued to construct the Fund’s portfolio on a bottom-up basis, selecting stocks on an individual basis. Meaningful outperformance versus the MSCI EAFE Growth Index came from the health care, financials and consumer discretionary sectors.
In the health care sector, strong stock selection in the pharmaceuticals industry led to outperformance versus the index’s

health care component. Top contributors to Fund performance included Denmark-based Novo Nordisk, a leading insulin and diabetes care company, and global biopharmaceutical company SHIRE (United Kingdom). In the consumer discretionary sector, particular strength was seen in the media, specialty retail and automobile industries. Top stock-level contributors to Fund performance included the world’s largest media company catering to a Spanish-speaking audience, Grupo Televisia of Mexico, Europe’s leading home improvement retailer, U.K.-based Kingfisher, and German auto manufacturer BMW.
In the financials sector, a meaningful underweight position versus the index was a key driver of outperformance. We remained underweight in large European banks, preferring to invest in higher quality, local customer-oriented emerging market banks in China and Brazil. Favorable stock selection, primarily in the commercial banking and capital markets industries, also enhanced returns.
Although our materials holdings delivered double-digit gains, our underweight position was a drag on relative performance. We questioned the ability of materials companies to maintain current return levels, and we were cautious about these companies’ ability to maintain capital discipline. Stock level detractors from performance included global insurance giants AXA Group (France) and QBE Group (Australia).
In broad geographic terms, the Fund meaningfully outperformed in Asia. Exposure to emerging Asian markets, including South Korea and India, was the key driver of relative performance in this region, as emerging markets saw signifi-cant gains during the reporting period. In contrast, relative gains were modestly offset by the negative impact of stock selection in Sweden, France and Italy.
Stock selection was driven primarily by the underlying fundamentals of companies rather than top-down macroeconomic considerations. That being said, our belief in growing consumer demand outside the U.S. explained the Fund’s overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector. Similarly, healthy technology spending over the last several months was supportive of our overweight position in the information technology sector. The Fund’s exposure to the health care sector was reduced slightly; however, we remained overweight in this sector. We ended the reporting period with the most significant underweight positions in the materials, industrials and consumer
staples sectors. Our underweight position in the financials sector narrowed over the year as we added to select positions in this market segment during the latter half of the reporting period.
Investor confidence rose, boosted by strong stock market performance in the second half of 2010, low interest rates, ample liquidity and improving global GDP projections. At the same time, the risks of tighter monetary policy in robust emerging market economies and the lingering sovereign debt situation in Europe meant investors should be prepared for volatility. At the close of the reporting period, we remained focused on investing according to our fundamentally driven investment process and maintaining our long-term investment view.

Index data from 4/30/93, Fund data from 5/5/93
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
| | |
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 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. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Over $250 million | | | 0 | .70% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $146,928.
Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $335,035 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $3,430,675 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $0 and securities sales of $30,109, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(1,349).
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $6,610 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.

| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 21,022,400 | | | $ | 25,209,571 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 15,257,998 | |
|

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 1,077,757,031 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 1,155,829,740 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 87,932,439 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 143,189,697 | |
|
December 31, 2018 | | | 37,802,555 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 268,924,691 | |
|

* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $512,908,794 and $1,336,207,806, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 334,653,685 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (2,893,932 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 331,759,753 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $835,346,896. |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $3,239,844 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $3,239,844. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. International Growth Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. International Growth Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
We believe a growth investment strategy is an essential component of a diversified portfolio. Our investment process emphasizes rigorous bottom-up analysis of individual companies. We seek to invest in companies with strong or improving fundamentals, attractive valuation relative to growth prospects and earnings expectations that appear fair to conservative.
To narrow our investment universe, we utilize a holistic approach that emphasizes fundamental research and, to a lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. At the end of this distillation process, we have a set of stocks to analyze in greater depth.
Our fundamental analysis focuses on identifying companies with strong drivers of growth. To accomplish this goal, we conduct rigorous bottom-up analysis to develop higher conviction in each company’s prospects for growth. Through our analysis, we develop a
mosaic of each company through detailed discussions with company management teams, competitors, distributors, suppliers, Wall Street analysts and customers. We also utilize a variety of valuation techniques based on the company in question, the industry in which the company operates, the stage of the business cycle and other factors that best reflect a company’s value.
Risk management plays an important role in portfolio construction, as our target portfolio attempts to maximize the relationship between risk and return. We seek to accomplish this goal by investing in companies with attractive fundamental prospects for growth, and we divide the portfolio between stable growth stocks and catalyst-driven stocks.
We consider selling a stock for any of the following reasons:
n | | The price target set at purchase has been reached. |
|
n | | There is deterioration in fundamentals. |
|
n | | The catalysts for growth are no longer present or are reflected in the stock price. |
|
n | | There is a more attractive investment opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
The U.S. economy showed signs of improvement during the Fund’s fiscal year, potentially indicating that the economy had transitioned from a contraction phase into an expansionary phase. Nevertheless, the pace of recovery remained modest, and the transition from government stimulus- induced growth to private economic recovery was uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) federal funds target rate remained low ranging from zero to 0.25%.1 Real gross domestic product (GDP) registered positive growth during the reporting period with quarterly annualized increases of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.2 Inflation, measured by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index, remained relatively benign. While labor markets improved as layoffs moderated, new hiring remained quite weak. Unemployment, after climbing steadily throughout 2009, fell slightly during 2010 to a rate of 9.4% nationwide as of December 2010.3
While stock market volatility increased significantly during the fiscal year, indexes measuring the performance of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks finished the period with positive, double-digit returns. In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed value stocks. The sectors with the highest returns in the Russell 1000 Growth Index included more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials, as well as the telecommunication services sector.

Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
Conversely, the health care and utilities sectors had the lowest returns but were still in positive territory.
The Fund had positive returns and outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Outperformance was driven primarily by stock selection in several sectors, including information technology (IT), industrials and consumer discretionary.
Over the year, the Fund outperformed by the widest margin in the IT sector, largely due to stock selection. The leading contributor to Fund performance was Apple. Apple continued to benefit from strong consumer demand for its innovative technology products, including the iPad tablet computer, as well as a new version of the iPhone. Rovi, a company that develops software for the interactive program guide for televisions, was also among the Fund’s leading contributors to performance.
The Fund also outperformed in the industrials sector, driven by stock selection. One of the leading contributors to performance was railroad operator Union Pacific, which continued to benefit from improving volume trends, stronger pricing and operation efficiency.
Outperformance in the consumer discretionary sector was due to stock selection. Two of the leading contributors to Fund performance were clothing retailer Limited Brands and casino operator Las Vegas Sands. Both companies benefited from improving consumer spending trends.
Some of this outperformance was offset by underperformance in other sectors, including financials, materials and telecommunication services. The Fund underperformed by the widest margin in the financials sector, driven by stock selection. One of the leading detractors from Fund performance was investment bank holding Goldman Sachs Group, which had weak performance caused by declining revenues and earnings in several areas in this more challenging economic environment. We sold this holding.
Underperformance in the materials sector was due to stock selection. One of the weakest performing stocks in this sector was Syngenta, a company that produces crop protection products and seeds. We sold this holding. Under-performance in the telecommunication services sector was also due to stock selection.
After taking over management of the Fund, we made several changes to the portfolio. The most significant changes included the sale of holdings in the health care, IT and consumer staples sectors. Proceeds from the sale of holdings in these sectors were used to add exposure in other sectors, including energy, materials and industrials.
As we’ve discussed, the stock market has experienced significant volatility during the last 12 months. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program. We thank you for your commitment to Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Classes since Inception
Fund data from 8/29/03, index data from 8/31/03
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

Performance includes litigation proceeds. Had these proceeds not been received, total return would have been lower.
The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses,
reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.02% and 1.27%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.16% and 1.41%, 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.
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly.
Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.
Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have been lower.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
An investment by the Fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.

Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .695% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .645% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .62% |
|

Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $85,832.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $154,146 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”).
The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $6,531,855 and securities sales of $3,531,838, which resulted in net realized gains of $417,974.
NOTE 5—Expense Offset Arrangement(s)
The expense offset arrangement is comprised of custodian credits which result from periodic overnight cash balances at the custodian. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund received credits from this arrangement, which resulted in the reduction of the Fund’s total expenses of $137.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,634 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 295,317 | | | $ | 225,976 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 184,485 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 13,764,139 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 1,943 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (38,578 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (6,332,704 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 61,051,135 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 68,630,420 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
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 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 utilized $7,599,209 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 898,943 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 5,433,761 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 6,332,704 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $93,134,807 and $105,515,879, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 14,088,503 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (324,364 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 13,764,139 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $54,813,935. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $36,210 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $36,210. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(e) | | Includes litigation proceeds received during the period. Had the litigation proceeds not been received Net gains on securities (both realized and unrealized) per share would have been $2.44 and $2.41 for Series I and Series II shares, respectively, and total returns would have been lower. |

Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the economy showed signs of improvement, fueling equity markets’ continued upward trajectory. The consumer discretionary sector benefited from a rotation to more cyclical stocks as investors anticipated an economic recovery. As a result, Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund outperformed the broad market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, for the reporting period. The Fund, however, underperformed the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index, its style-specific index, predominately as a result of security selection within the hotels, restaurants and leisure industry. An overweight exposure in the internet software and services industry and an underweight exposure in automobiles were also contributing factors to Fund underperformance.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, the major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a double-dip recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a subnormal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course and rallied in September and October on modestly better economic news, ending the year with double-digit gains.
The major equity indexes garnered positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
The Fund’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Index was primarily the result of security selection in the hotels, restaurants and leisure industry. The Fund’s underweight in retailing-focused industries, such as the automobiles industry and internet and catalog retail industry, also detracted as these industries experienced signifi-cant growth during the reporting period. Additionally, the Fund’s overweight in
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund
internet software and services also hurt relative performance. Top detractors to Fund performance included Google, International Game Technology and (The) Knot. The Fund no longer holds International Game Technology and (The) Knot.
The Fund’s lack of exposure to diversified consumer services was beneficial from a relative performance standpoint. Security selection and an underweight exposure in the media industry also contributed positively to relative performance during the fiscal year. Additionally, security selection in personal products also positively impacted benchmark-relative performance. Top individual contributors to performance during the period included Marriott International, Interpublic Group, Abercrombie & Fitch and Nike.
Significant allocation changes during the year included the introduction of automobile exposure to the Fund with the purchase of Ford Motor, Honda Motor and Harley-Davidson. We also increased the Fund’s weight in hotels, restaurants and leisure by purchasing Starbucks, Starwood Hotels & Resorts and PF Chang’s.
We sought to increase our consumer discretionary exposure and reduce our consumer staples exposure during the fiscal year. Thus, our allocation to beverages was significantly reduced through the sale of Anheuser-Busch, Heineken, Pepsico and Coca-Cola. Additionally, significant trims were made within the textile, apparel and luxury goods industry, and one holding, Carters, was completely sold during the reporting period.
We believe discretionary spending may continue to improve. However, its rate of growth may lag prior economic recoveries because consumer leverage remains above the long-term average and personal savings, as a percentage of disposable personal income, may remain above recent levels as consumers reduce their leverage. Thrifty consumers may place greater emphasis on the quality of products, not the quantity of products. Consumers may also shift from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption.
Finally, sales of luxury and big ticket items are beginning to improve as the stock market rises, housing prices stabilize and consumer confidence recovers from the lows experienced in early 2009.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
An investment by an underlying fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the ETFs shares to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the ETFs shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the ETFs shares; (4) failure of the ETFs shares to track the referenced index; and (5) holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which the Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile.
The leisure sector depends on consumer discretionary spending, which generally falls during economic downturns. Securities of gambling casinos are often subject to high price volatility and are considered speculative. Video and electronic games are subject to the risk of rapid obsolescence.
The Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund, (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile. |
| | The leisure sector depends on consumer discretionary spending, which generally falls during economic downturns. Securities of gambling casinos are often subject to high price volatility and are considered speculative. Securities of companies that make video and electronic games may be affected by the games’ risk of rapid obsolescence. |
J. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
L. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

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 $250 million | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .74% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .73% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .72% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .71% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .69% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .68% |
|
Under the terms of master intergroup sub-advisory contracts 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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual fund operating expenses to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $128,782.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $49,868 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund
| | |
| 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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been
designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $198,203 and securities sales of $150,339, which resulted in net realized gains of $21,255.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,529 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 105,063 | | | $ | 347,970 | |
|
Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 69,788 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 5,002,245 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (97 | ) |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (13,815 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (4,070,110 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (850 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 19,930,506 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 20,917,667 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $1,756,906 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2017 | | $ | 4,070,110 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $11,625,688 and $14,768,102, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 5,068,879 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (66,634 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 5,002,245 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $16,470,712 | | | | |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $12,051 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $12,051. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Leisure Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Leisure Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund lagged the broad market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, and the Russell Midcap Index, the Fund’s style-specific benchmark. The Fund’s underweight to the consumer discretionary sector and significant underweight in real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the financials sector also largely explains why it trailed the Russell Midcap Index. The Fund’s large allocation to cash detracted from relative returns in a rising market environment. Although the Fund’s overweight position in the health care sector detracted from results relative to the benchmark, it was a positive contributor to the Fund’s absolute returns. The industrials and energy sectors were also strong contributors to the Fund’s absolute returns.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We seek to manage your Fund using a conservative approach to mid-cap stock investing. We seek to provide attractive upside participation during buoyant equity markets and a measure of downside protection during weak equity markets. As part of a well-diversified asset allocation strategy, the Fund may complement more aggressive or cyclical investment strategies.
We conduct thorough fundamental research of companies and their businesses to gain a deeper understanding of their prospects, growth potential and return on invested capital (ROIC) characteristics. The process we use to identify potential investments for the Fund includes three phases: financial analysis, business analysis and valuation analysis.
Financial analysis provides insights into historical returns on invested capital, a key indicator of business quality, and historical capital allocation, a key indicator
of management quality. Business analysis, which evaluates the competitive landscape and any structural or cyclical business opportunities or threats, allows us to identify key revenue, profit and return drivers of the company. Both the financial and business analyses serve as a basis to construct valuation models that help us appraise a company’s fair value. In our valuation analysis, we use three primary techniques, including discounted cash flow, traditional valuation multiples and net asset value.
We consider selling a stock when it exceeds our target price, we have not seen a demonstrable improvement in fundamentals or a more compelling investment opportunity exists.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were volatile during 2010 as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings
were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, the major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting concerns of a double-dip recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a sub-normal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, markets reversed course and rallied again during the last four months of the year on better economic news, ending the year with double-digit gains.
All 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains for the year. The more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care and utilities had some of the lowest returns.
Commercial vehicle parts supplier WABCO Holdings was the largest contributor to Fund returns for the period, as shares of the company more than doubled during the year. The company’s earnings rose steadily throughout the year as growth in truck and bus production accelerated across the company’s geographic business segments; the company’s operations in Europe, South America, China, India and Brazil experienced double-digit growth. Both new vehicle technology and after-market sales increased, while operating margins improved, a result of the company’s prior year cost-cutting efforts.
Smith International, a diversified oilfield services company, was another contributor to Fund results. The company’s

Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
merger with Schlumberger was finalized in the third quarter of 2010. We held our shares of the company through the end of the acquisition, and also retained a position in Schlumberger.
H&R Block was the largest detractor from Fund returns as the company faced both cyclical and secular pressures. While the high unemployment rate lowered the number of tax filers, H&R Block continued to cede market share to less expensive online tax preparation providers and smaller independent providers. Shares were also negatively affected by the ongoing regulatory uncertainties with regards to mortgage repurchase liability. We sold our position in the company.
Medical device maker Boston Scientific was another key detractor from Fund returns. Early in the year, the company reported disappointing earnings results due to eroding profit margins, and management reduced its growth outlook for 2010 as a result. In addition, sales for one of the firm’s ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) devices were halted during the period, thus weighing on the company’s stock price. However, we believe the new management team has made progress in turning around the company, and we added to our investment on weakness during the year.
Maintaining a conservative approach is an enduring part of our investment philosophy. Amid the market’s volatility, we sought judicious long-term investments in high quality businesses. During the year, we increased our exposure to the consumer discretionary, materials, financials and industrials sectors, and reduced exposure to the health care and consumer staples sectors. These moves increased the number of holdings in the Fund, and at the end of the year, the Fund’s largest sector weightings were in information technology, health care, financials and industrials.
Over the past year, we witnessed significant dissonance in the market between strong corporate earnings and weak or erratic macro-economic data. At some point during this period, we believe we reached a crossroads in the current market cycle: In our view, we have likely entered a phase in which the economy is transitioning from recovery to possible expansion, or at least economic sustainability. Historically, as part of these transitions, market leadership typically shifts from early cycle to late cycle companies where profit stability, earnings visibility and positive — albeit modest — growth companies are favored. We believe this transition created good opportunities for investors to upgrade the quality of their equity exposure.
Regardless of market conditions, our goal remains the same: To serve as a conservative cornerstone for your mid-cap stock investment allocation, seeking to provide upside participation with a measure of downside protection, so that over a full market cycle we have the potential to deliver strong investment results with reduced risk relative to the benchmarks. As always, we thank you for your continued investment in Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund.

Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Classes since Inception
Index data from 8/31/01, Fund data from 9/10/01
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses,
reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. 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 Series I and Series II shares was 1.07% and 1.32%, 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.
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent
the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available on the Invesco automated information line, 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
An investment by the Fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each fund may invest are leveraged. The more a fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa.
The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the fund’s ability to recover should they default.
Stocks of small and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments in the above factors and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
Holding cash or cash equivalents may negatively affect performance.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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”). |
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
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 | .725% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .675% |
|
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .65% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $112,810.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $117,365 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,156,176 for services provided by insurance companies.

The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund
| | |
| 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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $12,589,221 and securities sales of $10,717,006, which resulted in net realized gains of $674,870.
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $3,643 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,460,214 | | | $ | 5,621,148 | |
|
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | 5,561,436 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 2,460,214 | | | $ | 11,182,584 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,096,457 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 89,287,047 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (228 | ) |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (71,822 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (30,475,922 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 413,564,041 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 473,399,573 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $40,263,751 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2017 | | $ | 30,475,922 | |

Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 91,482,380 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (2,195,333 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 89,287,047 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $399,545,544. | | | | |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $54,385 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $54,385. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity Fund, (formerly known as AIM V.I. Mid Cap Core Equity; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
Your Fund invests only in high-quality U.S. dollar-denominated short-term fixed-income obligations. During the fiscal year, as always, your Fund focused on three objectives:
n | | Safety of principal |
|
n | | Liquidity |
|
n | | The highest possible yield consistent with safety of principal |
Market conditions and your Fund
Economic uncertainty caused investors to seek out relatively safe, liquid and short-term investments for much of the period covered by this report. Strong demand for such investments and the monetary policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) were among the factors that caused yields on money market funds to remain low.
Although it was somewhat anemic and uneven, the economic expansion that began in the second half of 2009 continued in 2010. Gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, rose at annualized rates of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% in the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.1 The government’s initial estimate, subject to revision, of fourth quarter GDP growth was 3.2%.1
Despite this growth in the economy, unemployment remained stubbornly high and hovered near double-digits for most of the year covered by this report. Unemployment stood at 9.7% in January 2010 and declined only modestly to 9.4% by year-end.2 Among those who remained in the workforce, job insecurity was widespread – one reason many Americans spent less and saved more of their income.
In its final interest rate announcement of 2010, the Fed stated that “the economic recovery is continuing, though
at a rate that has been insufficient to bring down unemployment.”3 The Fed added that:
n | | Household spending was increasing at a moderate pace but continued to be hampered by high unemployment, modest income growth, lower housing wealth and tight credit. |
|
n | | Business spending on equipment was rising, but more slowly than earlier in the year. |
|
n | | The housing sector remained depressed. |
|
n | | Employers remained reluctant to add to their payrolls. |
|
n | | Measures of underlying inflation were somewhat low. |
These were among the factors that prompted the Fed to keep its federal funds target rate unchanged in a range of zero to 0.25% – and among the factors that it said “are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate for an extended period.”3
In early November, the Fed unveiled a plan to expand its purchase of longer term Treasury securities by $600 billion, or $75 billion per month, through mid-2011.3 This second round of “quantitative easing” is intended to force down yields on Treasury bonds (and interest rates closely tied to U.S. Treasury yields), thereby stimulating the economy. An earlier round of quantitative easing, in which the Fed purchased $1.7 trillion of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities between late 2008 and early 2010, was considered crucial in preventing an economic meltdown.4
Over the course of the year covered by this report, yields on short-term Treasury bills increased slightly while yields on long-term bonds declined slightly. From December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, yields on three-month Treasury notes rose from 0.07% to 0.13%.5 During the same period,
yields on 30-year Treasury bonds declined from 4.64% to 4.35%.5 Low yields on short-term Treasuries were chiefly due to the Fed’s accommodative monetary policies – as well as strong investor demand for relatively safe, liquid and short-term investments during a period of economic uncertainty. Because money market funds invest in such securities, the yield you earned on your investment in Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund remained low throughout the period covered by this report.
On a positive note, at the close of the reporting period, the yield curve was positive (meaning that short-term yields were lower than longer-term yields). A yield curve is a graph that shows the yields of similarly rated fixed income investments according to their maturities. While no one can predict the future performance of the economy, positive yield curves historically have signaled economic expansion.
Thank you for investing with us.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa.
The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
The value of, payment of interest and repayment of principal with respect to, and the ability of the Fund to sell, a municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions. Failure of the issuer of a municipal
security to comply with applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the value of such security.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
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, which may be affected by the following factors: the supply of short-term financing; changes in government regulation and interest rates; and overall economy.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
If the seller of a repurchase agreement in which the Fund invests defaults on its obligation or declares bankruptcy, the Fund may experience delays in selling the securities underlying the repurchase agreement, resulting in losses.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — The Fund’s securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts. |
| | 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, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on investments, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. |
| | 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 gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized gains (losses) on securities per share in the |
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund
| | |
| | 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, 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 to separate accounts of participating insurance companies. Distributions from net realized gain, if any, are generally paid annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Collateral on repurchase agreements, including the Fund’s pro-rata interest in joint repurchase agreements, is taken into possession by the Fund upon entering into the repurchase agreement. Eligible securities for collateral are securities consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and may consist of U.S. Government Securities, U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities and/or, Investment Grade Debt Securities. Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 102% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. Collateral consisting of Investment Grade Debt Securities is marked to market daily to ensure its market value is at least 105% of the sales price of the repurchase agreement. The investments in some repurchase agreements, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, are through participation with other mutual funds, private accounts and certain non-registered investment companies managed by the investment advisor or its affiliates (“Joint repurchase agreements”). The principal amount of the repurchase agreement is equal to the value at period-end. If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses, including a decline in the value of the collateral and loss of income. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .40% |
|
Over $250 million | | | 0 | .35% |
|
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 Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursment to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
The Adviser and/or Invesco Distributors, Inc., (“IDI”) voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimbursed expenses in order to increase the Fund’s yield. Voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified at any time upon consultation with the Board of Trustees without further notice to investors.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco voluntarily waived advisory fees of $122,854 and reimbursed class level expenses of $132,769 and 9,131 for Series I and Series II Shares, respectively.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $52,235 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or
Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund
common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $1,520,060 and securities sales of $660,016.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,558 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The Bank of New York Mellon, the custodian bank. 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.

Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Money Market Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Money Market Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
Our investment process seeks to identify attractively valued small-cap companies with high-growth potential, demonstrated by consistent and accelerating revenue and earnings growth.
We begin with a quantitative model that ranks companies based on a set of fundamental, valuation and timeliness factors. This proprietary model provides an objective approach to identifying new investment opportunities, as the highest ranked stocks become the primary focus of our research efforts.
Our stock selection process is based on a rigorous three-step process:
1. | | Fundamental analysis. Building financial models and conducting in-depth interviews with company management. |
|
2. | | Valuation analysis. Identifying attractively valued stocks given their |
| | growth potential over a one- to two-year horizon. |
|
3. | | Timeliness analysis. Identifying the “timeliness” of a stock purchase. We review trading volume characteristics and trend analysis to make sure there are no signs of the stock deterioration. This also serves as a risk management measure that helps us confirm our high conviction candidates. |
Portfolio construction plays an important role in risk management. We align the Fund with the S&P 600 Small Cap Index, the benchmark we believe represents the small-cap core asset class. We seek to manage risk by keeping the Fund’s sector weightings in line with the benchmark by staying fully diversified in all those sectors. We also seek to limit stock-specific risk by investing in typically 120 to 130 holdings.
We consider selling a stock when it no longer meets our investment criteria, based on:
n | | Our original investment thesis is not valid because the fundamentals are no longer intact. |
|
n | | The price target set at purchase is exceeded. |
|
n | | The company’s timeliness profile deteriorates. |
Market conditions and your Fund
The U.S. economy provided signs of improvement during the Fund’s fiscal year, potentially indicating that the economy has transitioned from a contraction phase into an expansionary phase. Nevertheless, the pace of recovery remained modest and the transition from government stimulus-induced growth to private economic recovery was uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) federal funds target rate remained low in a range of zero to 0.25%.1 Real gross domestic product (GDP) registered positive growth during the reporting period with quarterly increases of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.2 Inflation, measured by the seasonally-adjusted Consumer Price Index, remained relatively benign. While labor markets improved as layoffs moderated, new hiring remained quite weak. Unemployment, after climbing steadily throughout 2009, fell slightly during 2010 to a rate of 9.4% nationwide as of December 2010.3
While stock market volatility increased significantly during the fiscal year, indexes measuring the performance of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks finished the period with positive, double-digit

Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
returns. In terms of investment style, growth stocks generally outperformed value stocks. The sectors with the highest returns in the Russell 2000 Index included more economically sensitive sectors such as information technology (IT), consumer discretionary and industrials, as well as the energy and materials sectors. Conversely, more defensive sectors such as utilities, health care and telecommunication services had the lowest returns but were still in positive territory.
The Fund had double-digit absolute returns and outperformed versus the Russell 2000 Index primarily due to stock selection in the health care and industrials sectors. The Fund also outperformed by a narrow margin in other sectors, including utilities, consumer staples and consumer discretionary.
The Fund outperformed by the widest margin in the health care sector, driven by stock selection in the pharmaceutical/ biotechnology/life sciences industry groups. Two holdings in this area made strong contributions to performance: Biovail and Viropharma. Biovail is no longer held by the Fund. A third health care holding that made a key contribution to performance was endovascular device maker ev3. The stock price of this holding appreciated following the announcement that the company would be acquired by a competitor. We sold the Fund’s position in this holding after the positive news, locking in gains for shareholders.
The Fund also outperformed in the industrials sector due to stock selection. Two of the leading contributors to overall Fund performance were industrial wheel and tire maker Titan International and electrical products maker Baldor Electric. Titan benefited from significantly improved demand for its products during the year. The stock price of Baldor Electric appreciated following the announcement that the company was being acquired at a premium by a competitor. We subsequently sold the Fund’s position in this holding, locking in gains for shareholders.
Some of this outperformance was offset by underperformance in other sectors, including IT, financials and energy. The Fund underperformed by the widest margin in the IT sector, driven by stock selection. Two holdings in the technology hardware and equipment industry group were among the leading detractors to performance during the period: communication products and services provider Comtech Telecommunications and broadband
products and services provider Arris Group. We sold the Fund’s position in both holdings due to deteriorating fundamentals.
Underperformance in the financials sector was also due to stock selection. One holding that detracted from performance was investment management firm GAMCO Investors. GAMCO is no longer held by the Fund.
The Fund also underperformed in the energy sector due to stock selection. One of the leading detractors to performance was natural gas and oil production holding Comstock Resources. This company had weak performance as natural gas prices continued to fall during much of the period. Arena Resources was also a key detractor to performance. Arena Resources is no longer held by the Fund.
During the year, the most significant positioning changes included additions in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors. Purchases in these sectors were funded by reducing exposure to the health care, IT, industrials and telecommunication services sectors. All changes to the Fund were based on our bottom-up stock selection process of identifying high-quality growth companies trading at what we believe are attractive valuations.
As we’ve discussed, the stock market experienced significant volatility during the fiscal year. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult your financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program. We thank you for your commitment to Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Classes since Inception
Fund data from 8/29/03, index data from 8/31/03
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

The performance of the Fund’s Series I and Series II share classes will differ primarily due to different class expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes
in net asset value. 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 Series I and Series II shares was 1.09% and 1.34%, 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.
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses
and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.
Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the past, performance would have been lower.
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
An investment by the Fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain shares of the ETFs in which each fund may invest are leveraged. The more a fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
Stocks of small and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments in the above factors and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and
social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
Industry classifications used in this report are generally classified according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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 |
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
| | |
| | institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 |
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .745% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .73% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .715% |
|
Next $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .685% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $2.5 billion | | | 0 | .655% |
|
Over $10 billion | | | 0 | .64% |
|
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.15% and Series II shares to 1.40% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $7,662.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $60,044 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $541,944 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $652,150 and securities sales of $326,114, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(94,460).
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,971 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 293,939 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 66,005,751 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (28,013 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (36,001,360 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 224,619,001 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 254,595,379 | |

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:

Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Small Cap Equity Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the economy showed signs of improvement, fueling equity markets’ continued upward trajectory. Invesco V.I. Technology Fund outperformed both the S&P 500 Index and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 100 Technology Index (BOA ML 100 Tech Index), the Fund’s broad market and style-specific indexes, respectively, during the reporting period. Relative to the BOA ML 100 Tech Index, the Fund’s security selection in the communications equipment, software and electronic equipment industries positively affected performance.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We seek to grow capital by investing in companies we believe generate sustainable, superior earnings and cash flow growth that is not fully reflected in investor expectations or equity valuations. The Fund emphasizes companies believed to have a strategic advantage over their competition and operating in industries believed to be beneficiaries of secular trends. The Fund invests in industries such as hardware, software, telecommunications equipment and services, semiconductors and service-related companies in the information technology (IT) sector. We use a research oriented bottom-up investment approach focusing on company fundamentals and growth prospects.
We place great emphasis on companies exhibiting high returns on invested capital and generating free cash flow, metrics we believe are good indicators of financial health and growth potential. Also, we seek companies with management teams
that maintain high quality balance sheets and manageable debt levels. Valuation also plays a critical role in stock selection.
Risk management is an integral part of our portfolio construction, as our target portfolio attempts to limit volatility and downside risk. Only stocks that exhibit a proper balance of risk and reward are chosen for inclusion in the portfolio. We seek to accomplish this goal by thoroughly understanding the key business drivers of companies in which we invest. The portfolio is constructed with the goal of holding approximately 40-60 individual stocks we believe are best suited to capitalize on secular trends prevalent in the IT sector.
We may reduce or eliminate our holding in a stock when:
n | | A stock’s price reaches its valuation target. |
|
n | | A company’s fundamentals change or deteriorate. |
|
n | | It no longer meets our investment criteria. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were volatile in 2010 as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macro-economic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but were often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, the major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting concerns of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a sub-normal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course and rallied in September and October on modestly better economic news, ending the year with double-digit gains.
Major equity indexes had positive returns for the year, and all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns
Relative to the BOA ML 100 Tech Index, the Fund’s security selection in the communications equipment, software and electronic equipment industries enhanced performance during the reporting period. On the other hand, the Fund’s security selection and underweight exposure in Internet software and services stocks detracted from relative performance. Additionally, the Fund’s lack of holdings in the office electronics

Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
industry, an industry which performed well for the index, and the Fund’s exposure to wireless telecommunication services, an underperforming industry, which was not represented in the index, negatively affected Fund performance in 2010.
Top contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance during the year included Apple and Check Point Software Technologies. Apple continued to introduce new innovative products during the reporting period, unveiling a new version of the iPhone and introducing the iPad. Check Point develops enterprise and consumer security software to help protect against hackers, spyware and identity theft.
Western Digital and Smart Technologies were among the top detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance during the reporting period. Industry fundamentals, particularly pricing and inventory, in the hard disk drive market deteriorated. Smart Technologies, maker of interactive white boards for the educational market, suffered due to investor concerns of potential state and local budget cuts, and therefore, concerns over future demand for the company’s products. We sold Smart Technologies due to deteriorating fundamentals.
During the reporting period, we reduced exposure to the semiconductors industry through the sale of Intersil and Applied Materials. In addition, we sold Hewlett-Packard following the CEO’s departure from the company, which reduced our weight in the computer and peripherals industry. Portfolio additions included Rovi, Red Hat, Tibco Software and Quest Software, thus increasing our exposure to the software industry. We also made significant additions within the communications equipment industry through such stocks as Ciena, JDS Uniphase and Acme Packet.
The IT sector had the most exposure to domestic financial services firms. As such, we remained conscious of the headwinds affecting business and consumer spending on IT products. Longer term, we continued to see positive trends in the IT sector because we believe three key secular themes, which are independent of short-term catalysts, continued to offer support: 1) globalization — productivity gains supported increased technology use in international markets; 2) consumeriza-tion — technology demand is consumer-driven; 3) proliferation — technology continues to penetrate products ranging from automobiles and industrial controls to sporting gear and alternative energy.
As always, we thank you for your continued investment in Invesco V.I. Technology Fund.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
An investment by the Fund in ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each fund may invest are leveraged. The more a fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the fund more volatile.
Many products and services offered in technology-related industries are subject to rapid obsolescence, which may lower the value of the issuers in this sector.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the fund.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
| | |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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. |
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
| | |
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 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. | | Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile. |
| | Many products and services offered in technology-related industries are subject to rapid obsolescence, which may lower the value of the issuers in this sector. |
J. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
L. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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:
| | | | |

|
First $250 million | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .74% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .73% |

Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.30% and Series II shares to 1.45% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses during the period under this expense limitation.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $5,592.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $285,028 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $8,248.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,752 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
There were no ordinary income or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 200,163 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 33,194,887 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 795 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (42,768 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (13,733,913 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 109,883,197 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 129,502,361 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and partnership interests.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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.
Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
The Fund utilized $7,468,131 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 2,325,577 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 11,408,336 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 13,733,913 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $47,676,545 and $60,714,616, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 37,939,894 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (4,745,007 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 33,194,887 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $99,290,385. | | | | |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward and partnership adjustments, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $95,585, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $26,229,782 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $26,325,367. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |

Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco V.I. Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Technology Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Technology Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Technology Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Technology Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, the utilities sector lagged the broad market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, which posted a double-digit return. Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund had a positive return but lagged the S&P 500 Index for the period. Investment results for the Fund compared favorably to its style-specific benchmark, the S&P 500 Utilities Index. The Fund’s positive results relative to the S&P 500 Utilities Index largely were due to our holdings in the gas utilities and oil, gas and consumable fuels industries. Performance drivers were largely stock specific, though the Fund’s gas and multiutilities industry holdings had the largest positive impact on the Fund’s absolute returns.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
In selecting investments, we focus on companies within the electric utility, natural gas, water and telecommunications industries. We emphasize companies with solid balance sheets and operational cash flows that support sustained or increasing dividends. Fundamental research and financial statement analysis are the backbone of our bottom-up investment process. Using a variety of valuation techniques, we estimate the potential return of holdings over a two-year investment period. We construct the portfolio to provide the best combination of price appreciation potential, dividend income and risk profile; the Fund typically maintains full sector exposure. We seek to manage risk by maintaining an average of 30 to 50 positions, low turnover and a rigorous sell discipline.
We are committed to providing strategic exposure to a traditionally defensive
and income-oriented asset class by using a total return approach to managing the Fund, emphasizing capital appreciation, current income and capital preservation.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets delivered strong returns but were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profitability and soft, albeit improving, macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings improved considerably over the past year as high productivity growth and cost-cutting measures made during the economic downturn led to a rebound in margins and profits. However, high unemployment, weak consumer spending and tepid housing data remained as overhangs to the recovery. The sovereign debt crisis also contributed to market volatility as European countries began implementing austerity programs. Most recently, the
market reversed course and rallied again during the last four months of the year on better economic news, ending the fiscal year with double-digit gains.
All 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains for the year. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care and utilities had some of the lowest returns. The S&P 500 Utilities sector returned 5.46% for the period, as compared with the 15.08% return for the overall S&P 500 Index.
The largest contributor to the Fund’s overall return was CMS Energy in the multiutilities industry. During the year, the company announced a reduction in the capital investment plan for its Michigan-based coal plant of $800 million over the next five years. The reduced expenditures will minimize future rate increases for its utility customers. The company also announced a 40% increase in its dividend — its second dividend increase during the year. Both of these events were greeted favorably by investors.
Another significant contributor to the Fund’s return was Dominion Resources. During the year, the company closed the sale of its Appalachian exploration and production (E&P) acreage, effectively exiting the E&P business. The sale was viewed favorably by the market as it reduces the company’s need for equity financing to fund infrastructure projects, it reduces the company’s commodity sensitivity and it focuses the company on its core regulated businesses.
The largest detractor from results was E.ON, a diversified utility provider based in Germany. The company recently sold its U.S. operations to PPL Corporation, which reduced debt and streamlined operations.

Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund
However, weakness in the stock was driven by uncertainty regarding whether the company’s nuclear plants in Germany will be granted extensions to operate for timeframes beyond those currently permitted.
Ohio-based power producer FirstEnergy was another detractor from returns. In the first quarter of the year, the company announced an acquisition of Allegheny Energy in an all-stock transaction. While the proposed merger is expected to increase FirstEnergy’s customer base, as well as its power generation in the region, the company’s shares were negatively impacted following the announcement as the market questioned projected synergies of the deal. We trimmed our position in the company during the year.
There were no major positioning changes during the year; however, we increased the number of Fund holdings by initiating new positions in the telecommunications, electric and multiutilities industries. We continue to emphasize regulated over unregulated utilities given their relatively attractive valuations. At the end of the year, the Fund’s largest industry allocations were in the electric and multiutilities industries.
As the Fund’s fiscal year closed, a dominant issue surrounding the utility sector was the multiyear decline in both consumer and industrial electrical consumption. While investors debate the ultimate trajectory of electrical demand, a tepid recovery could result in further pressure on state utility commissions to deny rate increases or for utilities to file for lower returns on equity (ROEs). An additional overhang is the lack of transparency on timing and content of environmental regulations. Positively, many companies, as a result of the improvement in credit markets, have reduced their debt and generally improved their financial metrics. The volatility and level of commodity prices also has decreased from peak levels, enabling regulated utilities to better manage their input costs. Valuations for the group have improved and remain modestly attractive relative to historical levels.
In closing, we would like to thank you for your continued investment in Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund. We are committed to providing investors strategic exposure to a traditionally defensive and income-oriented asset class through our total return approach.

Fund data from 12/30/94, index data from 12/31/94
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a
doubling, or 100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
An investment by the Fund in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following: a discount of the ETF’s shares to its net asset value; failure to develop an active trading market for the ETF’s shares; the listing exchange halting trading of the ETF’s shares; failure of the ETF’s shares to track the referenced index; and holding troubled securities in the referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each fund may invest are leveraged. The more a fund invests in such leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.
The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile.
The following factors may affect the Fund’s investments in the utilities sector: governmental regulation, economic factors, ability of the issuer to obtain financing, prices of natural resources and risks associated with nuclear power.
The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in the foreign country’s exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund.
The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
Industry classifications used in this report are generally classified according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund (the ��Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
The Fund’s investment objectives are long-term growth of capital and, secondarily, current income.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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”). |
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Other Risks — The Fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the Fund more volatile. |
| | The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities or other instruments, which could negatively affect the value of the Fund. |
| | The following factors may affect the Fund’s investments in the utilities sector: governmental regulation, economic factors, ability of the issuer to obtain financing, prices of natural resources and risks associated with nuclear power. |
J. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
L. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund
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 Trimark 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 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 April 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.93% and Series II shares to 1.18% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on April 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $77,324.
At the request of the Trustees of the Trust, Invesco Ltd. agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with market timing matters in the Invesco Funds, which may include legal, audit, shareholder reporting, communications and trustee expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Ltd. did not reimburse any expenses.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $50,000 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $149,065 for services provided by insurance companies.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund
NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $2,639 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,364,336 | | | $ | 3,218,442 | |
|

|
Total distributions | | $ | 2,364,336 | | | $ | 4,028,505 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,168,788 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 9,041,335 | |

|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (48,991 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (1,436,392 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 55,921,999 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 65,650,238 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $2,208,857 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2017 | | $ | 1,436,392 | |

|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 11,048,879 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (2,007,544 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 9,041,335 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $56,372,441. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $14,613 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $14,613. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund (formerly known as AIM V.I. Utilities Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Invesco V.I. Utilities Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
Effective June 25, 2010, Meggan Walsh assumed management of Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund as lead portfolio manager, along with portfolio manager Jonathan Harrington and a team of equity analysts. Our team has extensive industry experience and we specifically focus on dividend-paying stocks. We appreciate the opportunity to manage your Fund and look forward to a long-term partnership.
For the year end December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund underperformed its style-specific benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. While we managed the Fund for only part of this time, our comments encompass the entire period. Investments in the industrials and consumer staples sectors were large contributors to Fund returns. However, the Fund’s underperformance for the period was largely due to an underweight in the energy sector relative to the index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
Our total return approach focuses on balancing long-term capital appreciation, current income and capital preservation. The Fund can serve as a conservative cornerstone within a well-diversified asset allocation strategy, complementing more aggressive and cyclical investments.
We seek companies that we believe have normalized earnings power greater than implied by their current market valuation and that also return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. All stocks in the portfolio pay a dividend, and the Fund pays a
quarterly dividend to shareholders. We manage risk using a valuation framework, careful stock selection and a rigorous buy-and-sell discipline.
We look for dividend-paying companies with strong profitability, solid balance sheets and capital allocation policies that support sustained or increasing dividends and share repurchases. We perform extensive fundamental research, incorporating both financial statement analysis and an assessment of the potential reward relative to the downside risk, to determine a fair valuation over our two-year investment horizon for each stock.

Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets delivered strong returns but were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profitability and soft, albeit improving, macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings have improved considerably over the past year as high productivity growth and cost-cutting measures made during the economic downturn led to a rebound in margins and profits. However, high unemployment, weak consumer spending and tepid housing data remained as overhangs to the recovery. The sovereign debt crisis also contributed to market volatility as European countries began implementing austerity programs. Most recently, the market reversed course and rallied again during the last four months of the year on better economic news, ending the fiscal year with double-digit gains.
All 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index (S&P) posted gains for the year. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care and utilities had some of the lowest returns.
A number of Fund holdings in the industrials sector were among the top contributors during the period, including Caterpillar and Snap-on. Snap-on manufactures and distributes premium professional-grade power and hand tools. The company delivered stronger-than-expected earnings due to robust revenue growth and improving margins, as demand continued to expand. Caterpillar continued to see a rebound in machinery and engine sales, particularly increased emerging market infrastructure and commodity demand. Dealer inventories remained low despite the uptick in orders.
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
Other strong contributors during the period included holdings such as Phillip Morris in the consumer staples sector, and Lubrizol and DuPont in the materials sector. DuPont, a diversified chemicals company, had strong sales growth during the year, particularly in its Asian markets. Higher volumes and better pricing power in its agriculture and nutrition segment also contributed to strong results. DuPont improved its financial position by cutting costs and reducing its net debt. DuPont is no longer held by the Fund.
Some of the Fund’s information technology (IT) holdings detracted from results, including Google and Microsoft. Shares of Microsoft were negatively impacted by a slowdown in PC demand, as well as market concerns about the company’s positioning in newer form factors such as tablet PCs and smartphones. We eliminated our position in Google, but continued to hold Microsoft at the end of the period.
The Fund’s exposure to the health care sector also had a negative affect on absolute returns, with WellPoint and Pfizer among the top detractors. We eliminated our position in WellPoint, and reduced our position in Pfizer during the period.
Since taking over the Fund, we added new consumer staples holdings, such as Coca Cola and Walgreens. We also increased exposure to the financials sector, adding a number of commercial bank holdings including SunTrust and Fifth Third Bancorp. The Fund benefited from these purchases as the companies delivered positive returns. At the end of the period, consumer staples and financials were our largest sector overweights relative to the S&P. We also decreased our exposure to the energy, health care and IT sectors. These sectors represent our largest underweights compared to the index.
The fiscal period witnessed a broad recovery in corporate earnings led by strong operating leverage. Balance sheets remained strong, and an increasing number of companies deployed cash into higher levels of capital spending, increased dividends and share buyback programs. Merger and acquisition activity and corporate debt issuance also increased. However, the unemployment rate remains high and we are cautiously monitoring the durability of the economy’s recovery.
We believe one of our competitive advantages is a disciplined approach to evaluating stocks from a total return perspective, focusing not only on their capital appreciation potential, but also on their current dividend income and capital preservation. This approach helps create a well-diversified Fund that can serve as a cornerstone allocation within an overall portfolio. As always, we thank you for your investment in Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund.

This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
A principal risk of investing in the Fund is associated with its common stock investments. In general, stock values fluctuate in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions. Stock prices can fluctuate widely in response to these factors.
The Fund’s investments in foreign securities involve risks that are in addition to the risks associated with domestic securities. One additional risk is currency risk. While the price of Fund shares is quoted in U.S. dollars, the Fund may convert U.S. dollars to a foreign market’s local currency to purchase a security in that market. If the value of that local currency falls relative to the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar value of the foreign security will decrease. This is true even if the foreign security’s local price remains unchanged.
Foreign securities also have risks related to economic and political developments abroad, including expropriations, confiscatory taxation, exchange control regulation, limitations on the use or transfer of Fund assets and any effects of foreign social, economic or political instability. Foreign companies, in general, are not subject to the regulatory requirements of U.S. companies and, as such, there may be less publicly available information about these companies. Moreover, foreign accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards generally are different from those applicable to U.S. companies. Finally, in the event of a default of any foreign debt obligations, it may be more difficult for the Fund to obtain or enforce a judgment against the issuers of the securities.
Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid than comparable securities of U.S. issuers and, as such, their price changes may be more volatile. Furthermore, foreign exchanges and broker-dealers are generally subject to less government and exchange scrutiny and regulation than their U.S. counterparts. In addition, differences in clearance and settlement procedures in foreign markets may cause delays in settlement of the Fund’s trades effected in those markets
and could result in losses to the Fund due to subsequent declines in the value of the securities subject to the trades.
Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.
A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, risks of default by the other party to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with other portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different from those associated with other portfolio investments.
Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage associated with derivative transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations, or may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. Although the Adviser seeks to use derivatives to further the Fund’s investment objectives, there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.
A futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specific price at a specific future time. The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease
in tandem with the value of the underlying instrument. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled through either physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. In addition to the derivatives risks discussed above, the prices of futures can be highly volatile, using futures can lower total return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the Fund’s initial investment in such contracts.
If the Fund buys an option, it buys a legal contract giving it the right to buy or sell a specific amount of the underlying instrument or futures contract on the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price typically in exchange for a premium paid by the Fund. If the Fund sells an option, it sells to another person the right to buy from or sell to the Fund a specific amount of the underlying instrument or futures contract on the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price typically in exchange for a premium received by the Fund. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well conceived option transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. The prices of options can be highly volatile and the use of options can lower total returns.
A swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are
continued on following page
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
netted out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other). The Fund’s obligations or rights under a swap contract entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty. Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps. Therefore, swaps are subject to credit risk or the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty. Swaps could result in losses if interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by the Fund or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected.
The performance of the Fund also will depend on whether or not the portfolio managers are successful in applying the Fund’s investment strategies. The Fund is also subject to other risks from its permissible investments, including the risks associated with its investments in convertible securities, fixed-income securities and REITs.
About indexes used in this report
The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. stock market.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here,and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es).

Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.
Industry classifications used in this report are generally classified according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Dividend Growth (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”). Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares received Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide reasonable current income and long-term growth of income and capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the |
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
| | |
| | security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
K. | | Call Options Written — The Fund may write call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Written call options are recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently valued to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. |
L. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
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 $250 million | | | 0 | .545% |
|
Next $750 million | | | 0 | .42% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .395% |
|
Over $2 billion | | | 0 | .37% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $558,503 to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.67% and Series II shares to 0.92% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class Shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $257,255 and $871, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $35,818 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $325,594 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $82,180 to MSIM and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $207 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $60,866 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y Shares. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
| | |
| 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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $2,507,025 and securities sales of $13,571,530, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(7,576,291).
NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
For the period June 1, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $734 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank (“SSB”), the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,059,693 | | | $ | 4,452,371 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | | | | | $ | 3,554,972 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | | | | | 23,510,689 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)–other investments | | | | | | | (2,426 | ) |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | | | | | (11,431 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | | | | | (3,441 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | | | | | (104,586,461 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | | | | | 308,449,711 | |
|
Total net assets | | | | | | $ | 230,911,613 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $1,775,537 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2011 | | $ | 48,222,156 | |
|
December 31, 2016 | | | 19,116,895 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 37,247,410 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 104,586,461 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $175,171,271 and $229,424,375, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 27,087,142 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (3,576,453 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 23,510,689 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $208,101,060. |
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $21,372, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $105,161,822 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $105,140,450. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 93% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. |

NOTE 13—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund (the “Target Funds”) in exchange for shares of the Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Target Funds’ shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 14—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund (formerly known as Dividend Growth Portfolio, one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
The Fund invests primarily in stocks of mid- and large-capitalization global companies with a record of stable earnings and strong balance sheets that are offering attractive valuations relative to the broad market and peers.
We take a bottom-up, research-driven approach. We begin with a universe of global equity securities with greater than $1 billion in market capitalization and up to 10 years of financial statement information from both developed and emerging markets. We adjust each company’s financial history for inflation rates and select accounting conventions, creating a comparable basis for analysis. We then rank the universe using a proprietary three-factor valuation ranking model that combines the company’s implied return, price/book and price/earnings. Attractively ranked companies are then subjected to rigorous fundamental research focused on
evaluating the sustainability of company profitability. The most attractive stocks from the valuation screen, that have also successfully passed rigorous fundamental research, are candidates for inclusion in the Fund. We seek to achieve appropriate diversification relative to the benchmark index and take a long-term investment horizon in evaluating companies, resulting in relatively low rates of portfolio turnover.
We strive to maintain a consistent investment discipline through varying market conditions and an appropriate level of overall portfolio diversification. Individual holdings are selected based on their own merits, however, and not on projections of country or sector performance.
Our sell discipline is a replication of the security selection process in that we look to trim or liquidate positions in the portfolio based on valuation, fundamentals or portfolio design considerations.
Market conditions and your Fund
After rallying for much of 2009 on prospects of improving global economic conditions, global equity markets faced headwinds in 2010. Notably, several southern European economies, including Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, faced solvency concerns amid massive fiscal deficits. Although the U.S. economy continued with a positive growth rate in 2010, investors continued to be concerned about high unemployment and a weak housing market. The period ended with a market upswing as a flurry of private sector merger and acquisition activity began — a sign of cash-rich corporations and strong balance sheets.
In contrast, China enacted credit tightening measures in early 2010 in an attempt to slow its economy. The combination of robust domestic economic developments and largely upbeat corporate earnings supported Asian equity markets during the period. Fears of potential overheating in emerging market economies, coupled with concerns of a potential double-dip recession in developed economies, however, continued to foster uncertainty about the pace and vigor of a global economic recovery.
At the beginning of the year, riskier assets, like stocks, outperformed securities considered safe havens, such as U.S. Treasuries. This trend continued through the middle of April 2010. Renewed credit problems overseas and the market correction that occurred in May, June and August, however, created a more uncertain environment, which prompted many investors to favor safety over risk. Although the path to economic recovery remains uncertain, several positive trends fueled resurgence in global equity markets during the last few months of the reporting period. As bottom-up investors, we have seen the number of potential investment opportunities in

Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund
attractive companies increase materially in recent months. With above-average market volatility likely to persist for some time, we believe our investment approach is well suited for the current climate.
We stayed true to our investment process — seeking quality-oriented stocks — and the Fund benefited overall. Stock selection within the consumer staples and IT sectors made the largest contribution to the Fund’s relative results. Within IT, U.S.-based Oracle, an enterprise software company, acquired Sun Microsystems and Silver Creek Systems. Stock selection and an underweight position in consumer discretionary and financials detracted from relative performance, failing to keep pace with the benchmark’s gains. Within the financials sector, U.K.-based Prudential, an international financial services company with principal operations in the U.K., U.S. and Asia, was liquidated from the Fund. The Fund’s negative performance in the energy sector largely was due to our allocation to energy corporation BP, which faced a difficult environment in the wake of the well disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. BP is no longer held by the Fund. On an absolute basis, all sectors in the Fund posted positive returns during the year with the exception of our utilities holdings.
From a geographical perspective, all global regions in the Fund generated positive absolute performance during the fiscal year. Japan contributed the most to absolute returns, while North America contributed the least on a relative basis. The Fund’s exposure to Greece, Canada and the U.S. detracted from performance during the year. Conversely, our stock selection in Spain, Germany and the U.K. helped Fund performance versus the benchmark index. The Fund also benefited from favorable Japanese stock selection throughout the period, leading to profit taking in a number of stocks. The allocation to Japan remained neutral to the benchmark during the year. Additionally, exposures to nonbenchmark areas, such as emerging markets, were positive contributors during the period.
From a positioning perspective, the Fund remained underweight in financials relative to the benchmark index. From a geographic perspective, the Fund maintained a healthy weighting in emerging markets and a modestly overweight position in Japan, while being underweight in Canada and the U.S., relative to the benchmark index. Fund holdings are determined based on the merits of individual securities and not on a country or sector basis.
Market participants are vacillating between inconsistent economic data and strong momentum in earnings from the corporate sector. At the same time, balance sheet repair has been actively pursued on multiple fronts by consumers, financial institutions and select governments. While these ultimately healthy initiatives may temper the pace of economic recovery in the near term, falling government bond yields have lowered mortgage rates to even more affordable levels, thus providing some level of support for the housing market. In the face of these conflicting signals, we believe above-average equity market and foreign exchange volatility may persist. Our emphasis on profitability and attractive valuations has the potential to serve clients well over the long-term.
We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult your financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.
We welcome any new investors who joined the Fund during the year, and to all of our shareholders, we would like to say thank you for your continued investment in the Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund.

This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
A principal risk of investing in the Fund is associated with its common stock investments. In general, stock values fluctuate in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions. Stock prices can fluctuate widely in response to these factors.
Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risks than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. Often, the stocks of these companies, particularly small companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt and erratic price movements. These stocks may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall stock market. Often small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and, while this may offer better growth potential than larger, more established companies, it also may make them more sensitive to changing market conditions.
The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced. Different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions and the Fund’s performance may sometimes be lower or higher than that of other types of funds (such as those emphasizing growth stocks).
The Fund’s investments in foreign and emerging market securities involve risks that are in addition to the risks associated with domestic securities. One additional risk is currency risk. While the price of Fund shares is quoted in U.S. dollars, the Fund may convert U.S. dollars to a foreign market’s local currency to purchase a security in that market. If the value of that local currency falls relative
to the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar value of the foreign security will decrease. This is true even if the foreign security’s local price remains unchanged.
Foreign securities also have risks related to economic and political developments abroad, including expropriations, confiscatory taxation, exchange control regulation, limitations on the use or transfer of Fund assets and any effects of foreign social, economic or political instability. Foreign companies, in general, are not subject to the regulatory requirements of U.S. companies and, as such, there may be less publicly available information about these companies. Moreover, foreign accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards generally are different from those applicable to U.S. companies. Finally, in the event of a default of any foreign debt obligations, it may be more difficult for the Fund to obtain or enforce a judgment against the issuers of the securities.
Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid than comparable securities of U.S. issuers and, as such, their price changes may be more volatile. Furthermore, foreign exchanges and broker-dealers are generally subject to less government and exchange scrutiny and regulation than their U.S. counterparts. In addition, differences in clearance and settlement procedures in foreign markets may cause delays in settlement of the Fund’s trades effected in those markets and could result in losses to the Fund due to subsequent declines in the value of the securities subject to the trades.
The foreign securities in which the Fund may invest may be issued by issuers located in emerging market or developing countries. Compared to the United States and other developed countries, emerging market or developing countries may have relatively unstable governments, economies based on only a few industries and securities markets that trade a small number of securities. Securities issued by companies located in these countries tend to be especially volatile and may be less liquid than securities traded in developed countries. In the past, securities in these countries have been characterized by greater potential loss than securities of companies located in developed countries.
Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.
Hedging the Fund’s currency risks involves the risk of mismatching the Fund’s objectives under a forward or futures contract with the value of securities denominated in a particular currency. Furthermore, such transactions reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken. There is an additional risk to the effect that currency contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are not denominated. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not entered into such contracts.
A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, risks of default by the other party to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with other portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different from those associated with other portfolio investments.
Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage associated with derivative transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations, or may cause the

Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. Although the Adviser seeks to use derivatives to further the Fund’s investment objectives, there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.
The performance of the Fund also will depend on whether or not the Adviser is successful in applying the Fund’s investment strategies. The Fund is also subject to other risks from its permissible investments, including the risks associated with its investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and foreign real estate companies.
About indexes used in this report
The MSCI World IndexSM is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of developed countries.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index,
including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es).
A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Dividend Growth Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares received Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide reasonable current income and long-term growth of income and capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund
| | |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund
| | |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund
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 $1 billion | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .645% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .62% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .595% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .57% |
|
Over $4.5 billion | | | 0 | .545% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s). Prior to the Reorganization, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited served as sub-adviser to the Acquired Fund.
Effective on the Reorganization, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.94% and Series II shares to 1.19% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $100,505 and $739, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,315 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $120,123 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administrative fee of $29,075 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $2 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $30,425 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund
(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 December 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $636 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,522,006 | | | $ | 4,364,595 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,744,260 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 12,764,628 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — other investments | | | 1,333 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (4,695 | ) |
|
Post-October deferrals | | | (4,761 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (12,609,466 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 82,667,230 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 85,558,529 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $7,442,686 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2017 | | $ | 12,609,466 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $106,239,343 and $116,298,160, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 13,314,137 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (549,509 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 12,764,628 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $72,850,859. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,352,734 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $1,352,734. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 11—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund (formerly known as Global Dividend Growth Portfolio, one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
As part of Invesco’s June 1, 2010, acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series V.I. High Yield Portfolio was reorganized into Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund.
On June 25, 2010, Peter Ehret, head of High Yield and portfolio manager, and his investment team took over management of the Fund. A listing of your Fund’s managers appears later in this report.
For the reporting period ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund underperformed the Fund’s style-specific index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index, due mainly to the Fund’s conservative posture during the 12-month period.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We invest primarily in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality. These bonds, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are typically corporate bonds of U.S.-based companies, many of which are moderately sized firms. We principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above, although we regularly own bonds of lesser quality as well. We may invest in convertible bonds, preferred stock, derivatives and bank loans, but do not expect these instruments to currently be a substantial part of our portfolio. We may invest up to 30% of total assets in foreign securities.
The primary driver of our security selection is fundamental bottom-up credit analysis conducted by a team of analysts who specialize by industry. This approach is augmented with an on-going review of the relative value of securities
and a top-down process that includes sector, economic and quantitative analysis. Changes in a security’s risk/ return profile or relative value and top-down factors generally determine buy and sell decisions.
Portfolio construction begins with a well-defined Fund design that emphasizes diversification and establishes the target investment vehicles for generating the desired “alpha” (the return expected from an investment) as well as the risk parameters appropriate for the current positioning in the credit cycle. Investments are evaluated for liquidity and risk versus relative value. Working closely with other investment specialists and traders, we determine the timing and amount of each “alpha” decision to use in the portfolio at any time, taking into account security selection skill and market opportunities.
Sell decisions are based on:
n | | Low equity value to debt, high subordination and negative free cash flow coupled with negative news, declining expectations, or an increasing risk profile. |
|
n | | Very low yields. |
|
n | | Presentation of a better relative value opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. However, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although the pace of recovery remained modest as stubbornly high unemployment and export weakness continued to weigh on the economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by stating:

Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund
“The Committee anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability, although the pace of economic recovery is likely to be more modest in the near term than had been anticipated.”2 Consequently, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep interest rates low for an extended period.
Defaults in the high yield bond market reached extreme lows in 2010 and were below those recorded during the previous year.
The broad U.S. high yield bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index, generated strong positive total return for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. Slow but steady economic growth, the avoidance of a double-dip recession, a recovery in corporate financial health, strong inflows into the high yield asset class, low overall interest rates and a decline in defaults boosted the performance of high yield bonds. In May and November of 2010, debt concerns in Europe caused investors to scale back their risk profile and embrace the safe haven of U.S. government-related securities. Late in the year, U.S. Treasury yields began to rise. Nonetheless, the impact was insufficient to erase gains realized by non-government bonds over the reporting period.
On an absolute basis, the Fund generated positive returns for the 12-month period. The prior managers of the Fund maintained a defensive posture and were underweight in lower quality CCC-rated issues for the first half of the reporting period. This was the main detractor from performance as lower credit quality issues experienced the most significant positive returns in the high yield market.3 The previous managers de-emphasized highly cyclical (or economically sensitive) industries and focused on more stable industry groups that have performed relatively well throughout an economic cycle. The Fund’s overweight positions in the oil field services industry and the telecommunication wirelines industry detracted from its performance as these asset classes underperformed for the first half of the reporting period. The Fund’s underweight in the financials sector, particularly in the banking and finance company industries, also was a significant detractor as these assets outperformed for the period.
Since taking over management of the Fund on June 25, 2010, we have worked on aligning the Fund to the Invesco research team’s outlook. We have
gradually built up our investment weights in financial companies, particularly in banking and insurance companies; however, we remained cautious about the lower quality bonds. The largest detractors for the second half of the reporting period were the non-captive diversified, media non-cable and home construction industries. The Fund benefited from its overweight position in the financials sector, an underweight position in the electric industry, which underperformed during the period, and exposure to the automotive and wireless industries.
We remain generally positive in our assessment of high yield securities; however, macroeconomic risks, slow economic growth and the potential for a double-dip recession and current valuations make us cautious about owning riskier assets. We believe the risk of holding those highest-risk securities outweighs potential benefits for the Fund at this time.
Thank you for investing in Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
All fixed income securities are subject to two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed income securities go up.
Lower rated securities may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Certain public bank loans are illiquid, meaning the fund may not be able to sell them quickly at a fair price. Illiquid securities are also difficult to value. Bank loans are subject to the risk of default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan, which will result in a reduction of income to the fund, and a potential decrease in the fund’s net asset value. Public bank loans present a greater degree of investment risk due to the fact that the cash flow or other property of the borrower securing the bank loan may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments.
About indexes used in this report
The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index is an unmanaged index that covers U.S. corporate, fixed-rate, non-investment grade debt with at least one year to maturity and at least $150 million in par outstanding. Index weights for each issuer are capped at 2%.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es).
A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment High Yield (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares received Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting principally of fixed-income securities, which may include both non-convertible and convertible debt securities and preferred stocks. As a secondary objective the Fund will seek capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its primary objective.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund
| | |
| | are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund
| | |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 | .42% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .345% |
|
Next $250 billion | | | 0 | .295% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .27% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .245% |
|
Over $3 billion | | | 0 | .22% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management,
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund
Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.75% and Series II shares to 2.00% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds–Money Market Portfolio–Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $941 and $863, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,315 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $20,480 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $11,025 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $208 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $17,330 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $602 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Distributions to Shareholders:

Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,239,436 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — investments | | | (5,795,852 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (203 | ) |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 219,408,208 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 32,176,551 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, defaulted securities and bond discount amortization.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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.
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund
The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:

NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $36,282,093 and $38,456,500, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

|
Net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation of investment securities | | $ | (5,795,852 | ) |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $37,466,393. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $15,165, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $63,603,205 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $63,588,040. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. High Yield Securities Fund (formerly known as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series High Yield Portfolio one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, but outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index. Stock selection in various sectors was the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance based on our bottom-up stock selection approach.

How we invest
We describe our investment philosophy as “value with a catalyst.” We believe that undervalued companies experiencing positive changes (i.e., “catalysts”) have the potential to generate long-term stock price growth for shareholders. We generally seek to identify companies that are out of favor with investors, underearning relative to their potential and attractively valued. For these companies, we attempt to identify catalysts that may improve the financial results and/or correct the undervaluation. Examples of catalysts typically include improved operational efficiency, changing industry dynamics and/or a change in management.
We initially identify potential investments through a series of quantitative screens including, but not limited to, return on capital and enterprise value to sales metrics. We then conduct fundamental research on the most attractive opportunities. The research process includes a thorough review of a company’s financial statements, an evaluation of its competitive position and
stability, and meetings with its executives. During the research process, we also value the company under various scenarios to determine if the investment is an attractive opportunity relative to its risks. This is also where we typically identify the positive catalyst, a prerequisite for potential investment. Finally, we generally set a price target for a stock based on normalized earnings and historical valuation multiples.
In short, our objective is to exploit negative sentiment toward a company’s stock by analyzing the company’s operations in the context of a cyclical environment and identifying one or more catalysts that may improve the company’s financial performance. Improved financial performance, in turn, has the potential to drive the company’s stock price higher.
We typically sell an investment when it reaches our estimate of fair value or when we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
The Fund also invests in convertible securities, investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. government issued bonds.
The fixed-income portion of the portfolio has the potential to reduce volatility compared to an equity-only portfolio and provide some downside protection during periods of stock market volatility.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a double-dip recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a subnormal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news. The major equity indexes garnered positive returns for the year, and all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
The broad U.S. bond market — as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index — generated positive total return for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010. At the beginning of the period, falling interest

rates across maturities combined with tighter credit spreads (the difference between the yields of U.S. Treasuries and other types of fixed-income securities that carry credit risk) caused bond prices to rise. Conversely, during the fourth quarter, a marked rise in rates late in the year negatively affected bond prices, particularly in U.S. Treasuries.
Stock selection and an underweight position within the health care sector contributed the most to relative performance. The portfolio owned Genzyme, a biotechnology company that received a takeover offer from Sanofiaventis (not a Fund holding). The stock rose significantly on the news, and the team eliminated the position. Genzyme is no longer held by the Fund.
Stock selection in the telecommunication services sector also aided relative performance. Vodafone helped performance, and the company has about a 45% ownership stake in Verizon Wireless. The wireless carrier has been able to grow its subscriber base, and investors are anticipating the introduction of the iPhone into the network.
However, offsetting the positive results was the negative impact of the consumer discretionary and the information technology (IT) sectors.
Security selection within consumer discretionary was one of the largest detractors from performance. A convertible security within the consumer services industry, specifically a hotel chain, lagged in performance during the period.
The portfolio had an overweight position in IT stocks throughout the period, with most of the exposure in hardware/equipment stocks and software services. Stock selection in hardware and equipment detracted the most from relative performance. Additionally, the unexpected departure of Hewlett Packard’s CEO weighed heavily on its stock price. As of the end of the period, the Fund continued to own the stock.
Equity markets experienced a strong recovery during the period covered by this report. We believe the market volatility that occurred during 2010 may continue to create opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations and strong fundamentals. We believe that ultimately those valuations and fundamentals may be reflected in companies’ stock prices.
As always, we would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. We recommend that you consult your financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
In general, prices of equity securities are more volatile than those of fixed income securities. Prices of equity securities will rise and fall in response to events that affect entire financial markets or industries and to events that affect particular issuers. Investing in convertible securities may subject the portfolio to the risks associated with both fixed income securities and common stocks.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. The Fund may also invest in issuers in developing or emerging market countries, which are subject to greater risks than investments in securities of issuers in developed countries.
Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/ or repay the principal on its debt. In the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. Zero coupon securities are typically subject to greater price fluctuations than comparable securities that pay current interest.
Investments in small- and mid-size companies may involve greater risk than investments in larger, more established companies. Small-to-mid capitalization value-oriented equity securities may underperform relative to the overall market. The securities issued by small and mid-size companies may be less liquid and their prices subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements.
The Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities rated lower than investment grade, or if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by the adviser, otherwise known as junk bonds, pose significant risks. The prices of junk bonds are likely to be more sensitive to adverse economic changes or individual corporate developments than higher rated securities. The secondary market for junk bonds may be less liquid than the market for higher quality securities.
The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Income Builder Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”). Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares received Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek reasonable income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks growth of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, |
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund
| | |
| | maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities 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. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees |
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund
| | |
| | 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 and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. |

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 | .67% |
|
Over $500 million | | | 0 | .645% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $91,470 to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.02% and Series II shares to 1.27% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class Shares.
For the year ending December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIA waived advisory fees of $68,364 and $323, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $44,997 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $29,315 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $10,922 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $207 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $16,369 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $18,896 and securities sales of $1,133, which resulted in net realized gains of $232.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $601 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 746,066 | | | $ | 977,624 | |
|
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | 15,596 | |
|
Total distributions | | $ | 746,066 | | | $ | 993,220 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 467,828 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 3,063,192 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (2,260 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (2,927,720 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 31,248,781 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 31,849,821 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $1,600,384 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2017 | | $ | 2,927,720 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities

Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 3,731,891 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (668,699 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 3,063,192 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $28,785,409. |
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of real estate investment trusts and bond premiums, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $27,219 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $27,219. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 13—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) and
Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Income Builder Fund (formerly known as Income Builder Portfolio, one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

How we invest
The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks represented in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a well-known stock market index that includes common stocks of 500 companies. The Fund generally invests in each stock included in the S&P 500 Index in proportion to its market value or market capitalization. The Fund may invest in foreign securities represented in the S&P 500 Index, including depositary receipts. Sale of a security in this Fund is a function of Standard & Poor’s either adding or deleting a security from the S&P 500 Index. Securities that are added or deleted are driven by the index, not a stock selection model.
The Fund may also invest in S&P 500 Index futures contracts. This type of investment is a derivative instrument since the price is derived from one or more underlying assets. The purpose of this investment is to provide full stock market exposure to the Fund’s nominal cash holdings.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were volatile during the year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending and soft housing data. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May, as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone.
Meanwhile, U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting concerns of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis, combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a sub-normal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, markets reversed course during the last quarter of the year and rallied on modestly better economic news: Inflation was tame, industrial production climbed and third quarter gross domestic product was revised
upward. Retail sales — arguably the most influential data for the end of the year — was 5.5% higher for the most recent holiday season compared to 2009.1 Equity markets ended the year with double-digit gains.
The major equity indexes had positive returns for the year, and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains. All investment styles had positive returns, with small-cap stocks outperforming large-cap stocks and growth stocks slightly edging value stocks for the period.
The Fund stayed true to its process by investing in all components of the S&P 500 Index. On an absolute basis, all sectors in the Fund posted positive returns for the reporting period. Sectors that contributed most to overall Fund performance were the consumer discretionary, energy, financials and industrials sectors. The health care and utilities sectors contributed the least. In addition the exposure to S&P 500 Index futures was a slight detractor from overall performance.
Within the industrials sector, General Electric (GE) was a top contributor to Fund performance. GE’s products and services range from aircraft engines, power generation, water processing and security technology to medical imaging, business and consumer financing, media content and industrial products. The company has adopted strategic imperatives to strengthen its business by building strong growth platforms and generating cash from low-return businesses. Its focus is on accelerating organic growth and achieving technical and service excellence, while building enduring customer relationships around the world.
Also contributing to the Fund’s positive performance were integrated oil and gas companies Exxon Mobil and Chevron.

Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
Detracting from Fund performance were select holdings in the information technology sector, including Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Cisco Systems. Hewlett-Packard was busy in 2010 with acquisitions. In April 2010, the company completed its purchase of 3Com. Then, in July 2010, Hewlett-Packard acquired Palm. During September and October, the company acquired Fortify Software, 3PAR, a global provider of utility storage, and ArcSight, a security and compliance management company.
While the global economy appeared more stable entering 2011 than it did for the prior year, forecasting the future direction of the economy remained highly challenging. The bursting of the U.S. housing bubble and rising unemployment seemed likely to impede future economic growth, while massive fiscal and monetary stimulus seemed likely to promote economic growth.
During the year, we were cautiously optimistic about the prospects for equities. Faced with moderate but positive economic growth, low inflation and prolonged government liquidity support, we believed equities could achieve gains. Further, valuations remained reasonable by historic standards, especially after the pullback during the second quarter of 2010.
We welcome new investors who joined the Fund during the fiscal year and thank all of our shareholders for your investment in Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund.

Your Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Class since Inception
Fund data from 5/18/98, index data from 5/31/98
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
A principal risk of investing in the Fund is associated with its common stock investments. In general, stock values fluctuate in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions. Stock prices can fluctuate widely in response to these factors.
The Fund is operated as a passively managed index fund. As such, the adverse performance of a particular stock ordinarily will not result in the elimination of the stock from the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund will remain invested in common stocks even when stock prices are generally falling. Ordinarily, the adviser will not sell the Fund’s portfolio securities except to reflect additions or deletions of the stocks that comprise the S&P 500 Index, or as may be necessary to raise cash to pay Fund shareholders who sell Fund shares. The Fund’s ability to correlate its performance, before expenses, with the S&P 500 Index may be affected by, among other things, changes in securities markets, the manner in which the S&P 500 Index is calculated and the timing of the purchases and sales, and also depends to some extent on the size of the Fund’s portfolio, the size of cash flows into and out of the Fund and differences between how and when the Fund and the Index are valued.
About indexes used in this report
The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. stock market.
A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.
Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Variable Investment S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Morgan Stanley Variable Investment Series. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”). Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares received Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I and II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond to the total return (i.e., the combination of capital changes and income) of the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an |
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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 |
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
J. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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 $2 billion | | | 0 | .12% |
|
Over $2 billion | | | 0 | .10% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $64,290 to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.28% and Series II shares to 0.53% of average daily net assets, through at least June 30, 2012. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, 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.
Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund
Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds-Money Market Portfolio-Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $148,399 and reimbursed expenses of $25,148 and MSIA waived advisory fees of $311.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,315 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $175,879 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $42,860 to Morgan Stanley Services Company, Inc.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $207 to Morgan Stanley Trust, which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees of $93,622 to Morgan Stanley Distributors Inc. based on the annual rate of 0.25% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class Y shares. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $662 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,191,757 | | | $ | 3,051,139 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,996,976 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 36,444,242 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (6,098 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (20,006,774 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 107,629,539 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 126,057,885 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $972,761 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss

NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $7,140,853 and $26,712,228, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 44,286,000 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (7,841,758 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 36,444,242 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $87,734,600. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $3,447, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $8,199,562 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $8,196,115. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 13—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) and
Shareholders of Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. S&P 500 Index Fund (formerly known as S&P 500 Index Portfolio, one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund’s Long-Term Performance
Results of a $10,000 Investment – Oldest Share Class since Inception
Index data from 10/31/94, Fund data from 11/9/94
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Effective June 1, 2010, Class X and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund advised by Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. were reorganized into Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund. Returns shown above for Series I and Series II shares are blended returns of the predecessor fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund. Share class returns will differ from the predecessor fund because of different expenses.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future
results; current performance may be lower or higher. Please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser for the most recent month-end variable product performance. Performance figures reflect Fund expenses, reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
The net annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 0.82% and 1.07%, respectively.1 The total annual Fund operating expense ratio set forth in the most recent Fund prospectus as of the date of this report for Series I and Series II shares was 1.12% and 1.37%, 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.
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund, a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco
Variable Insurance Funds), is currently offered through insurance companies issuing variable products. You cannot purchase shares of the Fund directly. Performance figures given represent the Fund and are not intended to reflect actual variable product values. They do not reflect sales charges, expenses and fees assessed in connection with a variable product. Sales charges, expenses and fees, which are determined by the variable product issuers, will vary and will lower the total return.
The most recent month-end performance data at the Fund level, excluding variable product charges, is available at 800 451 4246. As mentioned above, for the most recent month-end performance including variable product charges, please contact your variable product issuer or financial adviser.

Index data from 10/31/94, Fund data from 11/9/94
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance Summary - Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index but outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index. Because the Fund uses a bottom-up stock selection approach, stock selection in various sectors was the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We call our investment philosophy “value with a catalyst.” We believe that undervalued companies which are experiencing positive changes (i.e., “catalysts”) have the potential to generate long-term stock price growth for shareholders. We generally seek to identify companies that are out of favor with investors, underearning relative to their potential and attractively valued. For these companies, we attempt to identify catalysts that may improve the financial results and/or correct the undervaluation. Examples of catalysts typically include improved operational efficiency, changing industry dynamics and/or a change in management.
We initially identify potential investments through a series of quantitative screens including, but not limited to, return on capital and enterprise value to sales metrics. We then conduct fundamental research on the most attractive opportunities. The research process includes a thorough review of a company’s financial statements, an evaluation of its competitive position and stability and meetings with its executives. During the research process, we also value the company under various scenarios to determine if the investment is an attractive opportunity relative to its risks. This is also where we typically identify the
positive catalyst, a pre-requisite for potential investment. Finally, we generally set a price target for a stock based on normalized earnings and historical valuation multiples.
In short, our objective is to exploit negative sentiment toward a company’s stock by analyzing the company’s operations in the context of a cyclical environment and identifying one or more catalysts that may improve the company’s financial performance. Improved financial performance, in turn, has the potential to drive the company’s stock price higher.
We typically sell an investment when it reaches our estimate of fair value or when we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
The Fund also invests in investment grade corporate bonds and U.S. government-issued bonds. The fixed income portion of the portfolio has the potential to reduce volatility compared to an equity-only portfolio and the potential to provide some downside protection during periods of stock market volatility.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive
but often were overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, weak consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis – combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data – added to concerns that the recovery was slowing. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news.
Major equity indexes produced positive returns for the year, and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
The broad U.S. bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, generated positive total returns for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. At the beginning of the year, falling interest rates across maturities combined with tighter credit spreads (the difference between the yields of U.S. Treasuries and other types of fixed income securities that carry credit risk) caused bond prices to rise. Conversely, during the fourth quarter, a marked rise in interest rates negatively affected bond prices, particularly U.S. Treasuries.
The Fund benefited from an overweight exposure to, and stock selection in, the consumer discretionary sector. The Fund’s overweight position in the sector was concentrated among media stocks, which benefited from an increase in advertising revenue during the reporting period. Viacom, a top Fund holding, performed well throughout the reporting

period. The company reduced costs, was disciplined with its capital and grew advertising revenue. Stock selection in the telecommunication services sector also aided the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific index. Vodafone helped performance. The company owns approximately 45% of Verizon Communications. Verizon has been able to grow its subscriber base, and investors are anticipating the introduction of the iPhone onto the network.
Stock selection in the health care sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund owned Genzyme, a biotechnology company that received a takeover offer from Sanofi-Aventis (not a Fund holding). As a result, Genzyme rose significantly on the news and we sold our position.
However, offsetting the positive results was the negative impact of the information technology sector and the financial services sector.
The Fund was overweight in technology stocks throughout the reporting period, and most of our exposure was to hardware and equipment and software services stocks. Stock selection in hardware and equipment detracted the most from relative performance. Fund holding Hewlett Packard sold off on the news its chief executive officer was leaving the company due to expense-related improprieties. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund continued to own the stock.
Although the Fund was underweight in the financials sector relative to its style-specific index during the reporting period, we cautiously increased our exposure to some banks and capital markets companies that we believed had improved their balance sheets and were better capitalized. Also, real estate was a strong performing asset class during the reporting period. The Fund had no exposure to this asset class, however, and therefore did not benefit from real estate’s strong performance.
The Fund’s fixed income holdings produced positive returns for the reporting period, despite a marked rise in interest rates late in the year that caused bond prices to fall. Fixed income performance was mainly due to a sustained overweight position in investment grade corporate bonds. A consistent underweight position in U.S. government securities also aided both the Fund’s absolute and relative performance as investor preference for credit risk and rising interest rates late in the year dampened returns for U.S. government bonds.
The Fund used active duration and yield curve positioning to manage risk
and generate outperformance versus its benchmark index. U.S. Treasury futures were the main tool used in managing the portfolio’s duration. The contribution to relative performance from both duration and yield curve positioning was, overall, negligible for the year.
Equity markets experienced a strong recovery during the period covered by this report. We believe that the market volatility that occurred during 2010 may continue to create opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations and strong fundamentals. We believe that ultimately those valuations and fundamentals may be reflected in those companies’ stock prices.
As always, we would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. We recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance Summary - Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund
Effective June 25, 2010, Meggan Walsh assumed management of Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund as lead portfolio manager along with portfolio manager Jonathan Harrington and a team of equity analysts. Our team has extensive industry experience and, more specifically, experience with strategies that focus on dividend-paying stocks. We appreciate the opportunity to manage your Fund.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. While we managed the Fund for only part of the reporting period, our comments will encompass the entire period. Investments in the industrials and consumer staples sectors were large contributors to the Fund’s returns. However, the Fund’s underperformance for the reporting period was largely due to an underweight position in the energy sector relative to its benchmark.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
Our total return approach focuses on balancing long-term capital appreciation, current income and capital preservation. The Fund can serve as a conservative cornerstone within a well-diversified asset allocation strategy, complementing more aggressive and cyclical investments.
We seek companies that we believe have normalized earnings power greater than that implied by their current market valuation and that also return capital to shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. All stocks in the portfolio pay a dividend, and the Fund pays a quarterly dividend to shareholders. We manage risk utilizing a valuation framework, careful stock selection and a rigorous buy-and-sell discipline.
We look for dividend-paying companies with strong profitability, solid balance sheets and capital allocation policies that support sustained or increasing dividends
and share repurchases. We perform extensive fundamental research, incorporating both financial statement analysis and an assessment of the potential reward relative to the downside risk to determine a fair valuation over our two-year investment horizon for each stock. We believe our process may provide the best combination of dividend income, price appreciation and capital preservation.
We maintain a rigorous sell discipline and consider selling or trimming a stock when it no longer meets our investment criteria, including when:
n | | A stock reaches its fair valuation (target price). |
|
n | | The company’s fundamental business prospects deteriorate. |
|
n | | A more attractive investment opportunity presents itself. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets delivered strong returns but were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profitability and soft, albeit improving, macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings improved considerably over the past year as high productivity growth and cost cutting measures made during the economic downturn led to a rebound in margins and profits. However, high unemployment, weak consumer spending and tepid housing data remained as overhangs to the recovery. The sovereign debt crisis also contributed to market volatility as European countries began implementing austerity programs. Most recently, major equity indexes reversed course and rallied again during the last four months of 2010 on better economic news, ending the year with double-digit gains.
All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains for the year. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials and materials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care and utilities had some of the lowest returns.
A number of Fund holdings in the industrials sector, including Caterpillar and Snap-on, were among the top contributors to performance during the reporting period. Snap-on manufactures and distributes premium professional-grade power and hand tools. The company delivered stronger-than-expected earnings due to robust revenue growth and improving profit margins, as demand for its products continued to expand. Caterpillar continued to see a rebound in machinery and engine sales, particularly driven by increased emerging-market infrastructure and commodity demand. Dealer inventories remained low despite the uptick in orders.

Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds |
Other strong contributors to Fund performance during the year included holdings such as Phillip Morris in the consumer staples sector and Lubrizol and DuPont in the materials sector. DuPont, a diversified chemicals company, had strong sales growth during the year, particularly in its Asian markets. Higher volumes and better pricing power in its agriculture and nutrition segment also contributed to strong results. DuPont improved its financial position by cutting costs and reducing its net debt.
Some of the Fund’s information technology (IT) holdings detracted from results, including Google and Microsoft. Shares of Microsoft were negatively affected by a slowdown in PC demand, as well as market concerns about the company’s positioning in new product lines such as tablet PCs and smart-phones. We eliminated our position in Google before the close of the year, but continued to hold Microsoft.
The Fund’s exposure to the health care sector also had a negative impact on absolute returns, with WellPoint and Pfizer among the top detractors. We eliminated our position in WellPoint and reduced our position in Pfizer before the close of the reporting period.
Since taking over management of the Fund in June, we added new consumer staples holdings, such as Coca Cola and Walgreen. We also increased our exposure to the financials sector, adding a number of commercial bank holdings including SunTrust and Fifth Third Bancorp. The Fund benefited from these purchases as the companies delivered positive returns.
At the end of the reporting period, consumer staples and financials were our largest sector overweights relative to the S&P 500 index. We decreased our exposure to the energy, health care and IT sectors. These sectors represented our largest underweight positions compared to the index.
During the reporting period, the Fund used options contracts (a derivative security) in order to manage market risk and exposure. These positions produced a small gain for the fiscal year.
The year witnessed a broad recovery in corporate earnings led by strong operating leverage. Balance sheets remain strong, and an increasing number of companies began deploying cash into higher levels of capital spending and increased dividends and share buyback programs. Merger and acquisition activity
and corporate debt issuance also increased. However, the unemployment rate remains high, and we are cautiously monitoring the durability of the economy’s recovery.
We believe one of our competitive advantages is a disciplined approach to evaluating stocks from a total return perspective – focusing not only on their capital appreciation potential, but also on their current dividend income and capital preservation. We believe this approach helps create a well-diversified fund that may serve as a cornerstone allocation within an overall portfolio.

Performance Summary - Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
As part of Invesco’s June 1, 2010, acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, Morgan Stanley V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P Portfolio was reorganized into Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund. A listing of your Fund’s managers appears later in this report.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Series I shares of Invesco Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund, excluding product issuer charges, performed in line with the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index. The Fund seeks to achieve a high level of total return on its assets through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks represented in the S&P 500 Index (the S&P 500). The S&P 500 is a well known stock market index that includes common stocks of 500 companies. The Fund generally invests in each stock included in the S&P 500 in approximately equal proportions. This approach differs from the S&P 500 because stocks in the S&P 500 are represented in proportion to their market value or market capitalization. For example, the 50 largest companies in the S&P 500 represent approximately 50 percent of the S&P 500’s value; however, these same 50 companies represent roughly 10 percent of the Fund’s value. The Fund may invest in foreign securities represented in the S&P 500, including depositary receipts. Sale of a security in this Fund is a function of Standard & Poor’s either adding or deleting a security from the S&P 500. Securities that are added or deleted are driven by the index, not a stock selection model.
The Fund may also invest in S&P 500 future contracts. This type of investment is a derivative instrument since the price is derived from one or more underlying assets. The purpose of this investment is to provide full stock market exposure to the Fund’s nominal cash holdings.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending and soft housing data. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May, as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone. Meanwhile, U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis, combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data
added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a sub-normal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course during the last quarter of the year and rallied on modestly better economic news: tame inflation, rising industrial production and upwardly revised third quarter gross domestic product. Retail sales – arguably the most influential data point near year end – climbed 5.5% higher this holiday season.1 U.S. equity markets ended the year with double-digit gains.
The Fund stayed true to its process by maintaining balanced exposure to all constituents of the S&P 500. On an absolute basis, all sectors in the Fund posted positive returns for the reporting period. Sectors that contributed most to overall Fund performance were the consumer discretionary, financials, industrials and information technology sectors.

It offers application performance services, services and solutions for digital media and software distribution and storage, content and application delivery, online advertising-related services and other specialized Internet-based offerings.
Detracting from Fund performance were Dean Foods and H&R Block. H&R Block’s problems involve regulatory issues regarding refund anticipation loans, a large source of earnings for the company. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency recently ordered the company’s banking partner not to be involved in these types of loans, and the company may not be able to find another partner so close to tax season.
Forecasting the future direction of the economy remains highly challenging. The bursting of the U.S. housing bubble and continued high unemployment seemed likely to impede future economic growth, while massive fiscal and monetary stimulus seemed likely to promote economic growth.
During the reporting period, the Fund used futures contracts (a derivative security) in order to manage market risk and exposure. These positions produced a small gain for the fiscal year.
During the year, we were cautiously optimistic about the prospects for equities. In a world of moderate but positive economic growth, low inflation and prolonged government liquidity support, we believe equities can achieve gains. Further, valuations remain reasonable by historic standards, especially after the pullback during the second quarter of 2010.
We welcome new investors who joined the Fund during the year, and thank all of our shareholders for your investment in Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in common stocks and other equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of such securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among securities with longer maturities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security.
All fixed income securities are subject to two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed income securities go up.
Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which includes the possibility that, as interest rates fall, securities with stated interest rates may have the principal prepaid earlier than expected, requiring the Fund to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates. The Fund may invest in mortgage pass-through securities that are issued of guaranteed by the U.S. government. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. To the extent the Fund invests in mortgage securities offered by nongovernmental issuers, such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers, the risks of investing in mortgage-backed securities may be enhanced.
Because of the uncertainty of the cash flows, the market prices and yields of collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are more volatile and may increase or decrease in value substantially with changes in interest rates and/or the rates of prepayment. In addition, if the
collateral securing CMOs or any third-party guarantees are insufficient to make payments, the Fund could sustain a loss.
Asset-backed securities have risk characteristics similar to mortgage-backed securities, as well as risks that legal, regulatory and economic factors may result in the collateral backing the securities being insufficient to support payment on the securities.
Lower rated securities may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The Funds covered in this report are Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund, Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund (each “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Funds. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund, V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and V.I. Select Dimensions Equally Weighted S&P 500 Fund operated as Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Balanced Fund, Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund, respectively (each “Acquired Fund”) as a separate portfolio of Morgan Stanley Select Dimensions Investment Series. Each Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund, V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund, and V.I. Select Dimensions Equally Weighted S&P 500 Fund, respectively (the “Reorganization”).
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class X and Y shares received Series I and II shares, respectively, of each corresponding Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class X and Y shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I and II shares, respectively of each Fund throughout this report.
The investment objective’s: to provide capital growth with reasonable current income for Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund; to provide reasonable current income and long-term growth of income and capital for Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund; and to achieve a high level of total return on its assets through a combination of capital appreciation and current income for Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund.
Each Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 Funds may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, each 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. |
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds
| | |
| | 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. |
| | Each Fund allocates income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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 Funds 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 Funds file tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions. Generally the Funds are subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period. |
F. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Funds and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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, each 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 performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each 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. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Funds may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Funds may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
K. | | Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or |
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds
| | |
| | delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Funds currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | | Call Options Written — The Funds may write call options, including options on futures. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Written call options are recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. |
| | An option on a futures contract gives the holder the right to receive a cash “exercise settlement amount” equal to the difference between the exercise price of the option and the value of the underlying futures contract on the exercise date. The value of a futures contract fluctuates with changes in the market values of the securities underlying the futures contract. In writing covered futures contract options, the principal risk is that the Fund could bear a loss on the options that would be only partially offset (or not offset at all) by the increased value or reduced cost of underlying portfolio securities. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | | Collateral — To the extent each Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is such Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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, each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Adviser based on the annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc. (“MSIA”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | |
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund | | $ | 90,265 | |
|
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund | | | 219,791 | |
|
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund | | | 50,210 | |
|
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 Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I and Series II shares of each Fund as shown in the following table:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Series I | | Series II |
|
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund | | | 0.82 | % | | | 1.07 | % |
|
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund | | | 0.72 | % | | | 0.97 | % |
|
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund | | | 0.37 | % | | | 0.62 | % |
|
In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, to waive the advisory fee payable by each Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the affiliated money market funds on investments by such Fund of uninvested cash in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by each Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees and /or reimbursed Fund expenses in the following amounts:
| | | | | | | | |

The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to such Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts.

The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which each Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to such Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of

The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to such Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). Each Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of such Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of such Fund.

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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 6—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by each Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price.

NOTE 7—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Funds in aggregate paid legal fees of $1,892 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees as shown below. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds
NOTE 8—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. 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.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds net unrealized appreciation differences are attributable primarily to wash sales, bond premiums and straddles.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Funds temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 Funds to utilize. 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 Funds utilized capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund,
Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund, Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund (formerly known as Morgan Stanley V.I. Select Dimensions Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund, Morgan Stanley V.I. Select Dimensions Dividend Growth Fund and Morgan Stanley V.I. Select Dimensions Balanced Fund), three of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Funds” at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Invesco V.I. Select Dimensions Funds
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

How we invest
We believe a growth investment strategy is an essential component of a diversified portfolio.
Our investment process emphasizes rigorous bottom-up analysis of individual companies. We seek to invest in companies with strong or improving fundamentals, attractive valuation relative to growth prospects and earnings expectations that appear fair to conservative.
To narrow our investment universe, we utilize a holistic approach that emphasizes fundamental research and, to a lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. At the end of this distillation process, we have a set of stocks to analyze in greater depth.
Our fundamental analysis focuses on identifying companies with strong drivers of growth. To accomplish this goal, we conduct rigorous bottom-up analysis in order to develop higher conviction in each company’s prospects for growth. Through our analysis, we develop a mosaic of each company through detailed discussions with company management teams, competitors, distributors, suppliers, Wall Street analysts, and customers. We also utilize a variety of valuation techniques based on the company in question, the
industry in which the company operates, the stage of the business cycle, and other factors that best reflect a company’s value.
Risk management plays an important role in portfolio construction, as our target portfolio attempts to maximize the relationship between risk and return. We seek to accomplish this goal by investing in companies with attractive fundamental prospects for growth, and we divide the portfolio between stable growth stocks and catalyst-driven stocks.
We consider selling a stock for any of the following reasons:
n | | The price target set at purchase has been reached. |
|
n | | There is deterioration in fundamentals. |
|
n | | The catalysts for growth are no longer present or are reflected in the stock price. |
|
n | | There is a more attractive investment opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
The U.S. economy showed signs of improvement during the Fund’s fiscal year, potentially indicating that the economy has transitioned from a contraction phase into an expansionary phase. Nevertheless, the pace of
recovery remained modest and the transition from government stimulus-induced growth to private economic recovery was uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) federal funds target rate remained low ranging from zero to 0.25%.1 Real gross domestic product (GDP) registered positive growth during the reporting period with annualized increases of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% in the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.2 Inflation, measured by the seasonally-adjusted Consumer Price Index, remained relatively benign. While labor markets improved as layoffs moderated, new hiring remained quite weak. Unemployment, after climbing steadily throughout 2009, fell slightly during 2010 to a rate of 9.4% nationwide as of December 2010.3
While stock market volatility increased significantly during the fiscal year, indexes measuring the performance of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks finished the reporting period with positive, double-digit returns.4 In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed value stocks. Sectors with the highest returns in the Russell 1000 Growth Index included more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials, materials and telecommunication services. Conversely, the health care and utilities sectors had the lowest returns but were still in positive territory for the year.
The Fund had positive returns and outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the reporting period. Outperformance was driven primarily by stock selection in the information technology (IT) and consumer discretionary sectors. Over the course of the fiscal year, the Fund outperformed by the widest margin in the IT sector, largely due to stock selection. The leading contributor to Fund performance was

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund
Apple. Apple continued to benefit from strong consumer demand for its innovative technology products, including the iPad tablet computer as well as a new version of the iPhone. Chinese Internet search engine provider Baidu and interactive program guide software developer Rovi also made key contributions to performance in this sector.
The Fund also outperformed in the consumer discretionary sector due to stock selection. Among the leading contributors to Fund performance from this sector were casino operators Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts, as well as clothing retailer Limited Brands. These companies benefited from improving consumer spending trends. We sold our position in Wynn Resorts before the close of the reporting period.
Some of this outperformance was offset by underperformance in other sectors, including materials, consumer staples and financials. The Fund underperformed by the widest margin in the materials sector, largely due to stock selection. One of the weakest performing stocks in this sector was Monsanto, a company that produces genetically altered seeds and crop protection products. The Fund also underperformed in the consumer staples sector, primarily due to stock selection. Beverage maker Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group was one of the leading detractors from performance in this sector. We sold our position in Dr. Pepper/Snapple before the close of the reporting period. Underperformance in the financials sector also was driven by stock selection.
After taking over management responsibilities for the Fund in June, we made several changes to the portfolio. The most significant changes included the sale of some holdings in the consumer discretionary, IT and financials sectors. Proceeds from the sale of these holdings were used to add exposure to other sectors, including energy, industrials and health care. As we’ve discussed, the stock market experienced heavy volatility during the last 12 months. We’d like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.
We thank you for your commitment to Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Index data from 6/30/95, Fund data from 7/3/95
Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Investments in common stocks and other equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. The Fund emphasizes a growth style of investing. The market values of growth securities may be more volatile than other types of investments. The returns on growth securities may or may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock markets. Different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions. Thus, the value of the Fund’s investments will vary and at times may be lower or higher than that of other types of investments.
Investments in growth-oriented equity securities may have above-average volatility of price movement. The returns on growth securities may or may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock markets.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

Other information

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Capital Growth Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I and Class II shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund
| | |
| | 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund
| | |
| | Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
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 | .70% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .65% |
|
Over $1 billion | | | 0 | .60% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $534,567 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.84% and Series II shares to 1.09% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 period ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $212,825.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,883 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $273,106 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investment Inc., provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $9,903 to Van Kampen Investments Inc.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $8,107 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund
(“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class II shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $114,899 to VKFI. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., an affiliate of the Acquired Fund, totaling $2,138.
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 December 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $705 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $2,038 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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.

Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 41,701,852 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (3,976 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (33,999,632 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 177,091,719 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 184,789,963 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $0 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |

NOTE 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
NOTE 11—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of Invesco V.I. Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Target Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Target Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Capital Growth Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Capital Growth Fund; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

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. |
3 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio indicated above multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect a one-half year period. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund outperformed its style-specific benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Fund’s outperformance was largely due to stock selection and an overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector. Alternatively, stock selection in information technology (IT) detracted the most from the Fund’s performance versus the benchmark index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We seek to exploit market inefficiencies by investing in companies that appear undervalued relative to the overall market. Ultimately, we believe that the market will recognize the value in these companies and will sell as these stock prices begin to reflect their intrinsic value. We feel that stock picking, as opposed to making sector bets, provides a more consistent path to success. In addition, we may be able to take advantage of pricing anomalies by purchasing undervalued stocks before a recognizable catalyst arises.
The Fund’s investable universe includes all large-cap U.S.-denominated equities. To distill these investments, we filter for

companies with sufficient liquidity. We filter the remaining securities on valuation metrics depending upon the growth or cyclical nature of their business. The result of this filtering process is a pool of highly liquid securities that we believe are statistically inexpensive relative to the broader market. Companies identified in the filtering process are thoroughly analyzed to assess intrinsic value and their ability to achieve fair value.
We initiate a purchase of a security only if we believe the potential for stock price appreciation outweighs potential downside risk. To be eligible for inclusion in the Fund, a stock must meet the following criteria:

The Fund’s holdings are subject to change, and there is no assurance that the Fund will continue to hold any particular security.
*Excluding money market fund holdings.
n | | If the security is statistically cheap on the basis of its primary valuation criteria, which depends upon the cyclical or growth nature of its business. |
|
n | | If rigorous fundamental analysis shows that the company is undervalued and possesses potential financial strength and improved quality of management for future growth. |
We maintain an intense focus on the quality of a company’s accounting and on financial statement analysis. Portfolio construction is bottom up and stock specific, concentrating on individual company fundamental analysis and valuations. Therefore, while we monitor and are aware of our positions relative to the benchmark, it does not play a major role in the construction of the Fund.
We seek to manage risk through portfolio construction, mainly though diversification across most major sectors, and through the assistance of an independent quantitative risk control group. Risk management is continuous. The Fund is regularly reviewed to ensure it is optimally constructed on a risk/reward basis. We have the final say on the construction of the Fund and a collegial relationship exists between the risk management team and the Fund teams.
Our sell discipline is just as important as the buy decision and is based on the same principles: relative value and fundamentals. While no sale is automatic, a security is typically sold if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
n | | The target price has been realized, and we no longer consider the company undervalued. |
|
n | | A better value opportunity can be found elsewhere. |
|
n | | A company is experiencing deteriorating fundamentals beyond what we feel to be a tolerable level and the trend is likely to be a long-term issue. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak,
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund
prompting fears of a double-dip recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a subnormal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news. The major equity indexes garnered positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while the less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
In this environment, the Fund outperformed its style-specific benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Fund’s consumer discretionary exposure acted as the largest contributor to relative and absolute returns. The Fund’s notable overweight combined with strong stock selection aided performance. Specifically, the Fund’s holdings in media companies Comcast and Viacom made significant contributions to results as both stocks posted strong double-digit returns during the fiscal year.
The financials sector was another primary driver of relative outperformance when measured against the Russell 1000 Value Index. Specifically, the Fund’s material overweight in the property and casualty insurance industry boosted performance. Chubb, a property and casualty insurance company, was one of the largest holdings in the Fund for much of the previous year. The company’s strong performance is reflective of a strong balance sheet and a well-diversified, conservative underwriting platform. Chubb has done an admirable job of returning cash to shareowners through buybacks and dividends, while operating in a difficult pricing environment.
The information technology (IT) sector was the largest detractor from relative performance. Among IT stocks, the Fund’s overweight exposure combined with unfavorable stock selection among hardware and select internet related companies dampened shareholder returns. More specifically, the unexpected departure of Hewlett Packard’s CEO temporarily weighed heavily on its stock price. Shares of Yahoo, a relatively new addition to the Fund, were weak as investors questioned the rate and sustainability of the recovery in advertising and the economic environment in general.
Stock selection in the materials sector and a small overweight position in the health care sector also detracted from results relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index.
Toward the end of the period, we paired down exposure to select insurance and media stocks, using the proceeds to opportunistically increase the Fund’s energy and industrials exposure.
We believe the market volatility and the market correction that began in the second quarter of 2010 created opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations. We stand by our contrarian philosophy and deep value approach of buying extremely undervalued companies, and capitalizing on market volatility and periods of down markets as value is created for new investment opportunities.
Markets experienced a strong recovery in 2010. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program. Thank you for your investment in the Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
During an overall stock market decline, stock prices of small- or medium-sized companies often fluctuate more than stock prices of larger companies or the market averages in general. In addition, such companies typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger companies and may be less liquid than larger-sized companies. In addition, small- and medium-sized companies may have more limited markets, financial resources and product lines, and may lack the depth of management of larger companies.
Value investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock markets.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses. In addition, REITs depend upon specialized management skills, may be less diversified, may have lower trading volume, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid.
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Investments in equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. The ability of the Fund’s investment holdings to generate income depends on the earnings and the continuing declaration of dividends by the issuers of such securities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security.

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Comstock Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital growth and income through investments in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund
| | |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund
| | |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 | .60% |
|
Over $500 million | | | 0 | .55% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $5,353,503 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.62% and Series II shares to 0.87% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the net annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund
Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I and Class II shares. Van Kampen did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this agreement.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,400,396.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $249,476 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,477,130 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”), provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $132,079 to VKII.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $6,763 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class II shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $2,234,083 to VKFI. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between levels.

|
NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,737 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $25,856 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,082,298 | | | $ | 103,611,352 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 25,920,907 | |
|
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — investments | | | (57,574,491 | ) |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (11,197 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (549,284,891 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 2,469,055,472 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 1,888,105,800 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund
The Fund utilized $49,021,247 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 208,187,062 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 341,097,829 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 549,284,891 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $385,998,311 and $1,044,894,421, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 147,522,622 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (205,097,113 | ) |
|
Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities | | $ | (57,574,491 | ) |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,891,398,098. |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $5,717, undistributed net realized gain was decreased by $5 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $5,722. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 77% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, distribution, third party record keeping and account servicing.

NOTE 11—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Comstock Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Equity and Income Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, but, excluding variable product issuer charges, outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index. Stock selection in various sectors was the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance, based on our bottom-up stock selection approach.

How we invest
We describe our investment philosophy as “value with a catalyst.” We believe that undervalued companies that are experiencing positive changes (i.e., “catalysts”) have the potential to generate long-term stock price growth for shareholders. We generally seek to identify companies that are out of favor with investors, underearning relative to their potential and are attractively valued. For these companies, we attempt to identify catalysts that may improve the financial results and/or correct the undervaluation. Examples of catalysts typically include improving operational efficiency, changing industry dynamics and/or a change in management.
We initially identify potential investments through a series of quantitative screens including, but not limited to, return on capital and enterprise value to sales metrics. We then conduct fundamental research on the most attractive opportunities. The research process includes a thorough review of a company’s financial statements, an evaluation of its competitive position and stability, and meetings with its executives. During the research process, we
also value the company under various scenarios to determine if the investment is an attractive opportunity relative to its risks. This is also where we typically identify the positive catalyst, a prerequisite for potential investment. Finally, we generally set a price target for a stock based on normalized earnings and historical valuation multiples.
In short, our objective is to exploit negative sentiment toward a company’s stock by analyzing the company’s operations in the context of a cyclical environment and identifying one or more catalysts that may improve the company’s financial performance. Improved financial performance, in turn, has the potential to drive the company’s stock price higher.
We typically sell an investment when it reaches our estimate of fair value or when we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
The Fund also invests in convertible securities, investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. government-issued bonds. The fixed-income portion of the portfolio has the potential to reduce volatility compared to an equity-only portfolio and provide some downside protection during periods of stock market volatility.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive, but often overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, a lack of consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a double-dip recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data added to concerns that the recovery was slowing to a subnormal growth rate. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news. The major equity indexes produced positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
The broad U.S. bond market — as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index — generated positive total return for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010. At the beginning of the period, falling interest rates across maturities combined with tighter credit spreads (the difference between the yields of U.S. Treasuries and other types of fixed-income securities that carry credit risk) caused bond prices to rise. Conversely, a marked rise in rates late in the year negatively affected bond

prices, particularly in U.S. Treasuries.
The Fund benefitted from an overweight position and stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. The Fund’s overweight position in the sector was an emphasis mainly within media stocks, which benefited from an increase in advertising revenue during the period. Viacom, a top holding, performed well throughout the period. The company reduced costs, was disciplined with its capital and grew advertising revenue.
Stock selection within the health care sector also contributed to relative performance. Genzyme, a biotechnology company, received a takeover offer from Sanofi-aventis (not a Fund holding). The stock rose significantly on the news and we eliminated the position.
The information technology and financial sectors detracted from Fund performance. Within technology, an overweight position coupled with large exposure to hardware/equipment stocks and software services dampened returns. Stock selection in hardware and equipment detracted the most from relative performance. Additionally, the unexpected departure of Hewlett Packard’s CEO weighed heavily on the shares. The Fund continued to own the stock as of the end of the reporting period.
The Fund maintained a relative underweight to the financials sector, although we cautiously increased exposure to some banks and capital markets companies that we believe had improved their balance sheets and are now better capitalized.
Real estate was a strong performing asset class during the fiscal year, but the Fund had no exposure and did not participate in the upside within the industry.
The Fund’s fixed-income holdings also produced positive returns for the full period despite a marked rise in rates late in the year that negatively affected bond prices. Outperformance was mainly due to a sustained overweight position in investment-grade corporate bonds. A consistent underweight position in U.S. government securities also aided both absolute and relative performance as investor preference for credit risk and rising interest rates late in the year dampened returns for U.S. government bonds. The Fund also used active duration and yield curve positioning within the fixed income allocation for risk management and generating outperformance versus its benchmark. U.S. Treasury futures were the main tool used in managing portfolio level duration. The contribution to relative performance from both duration and yield curve positioning
was mixed over the Fund’s fiscal year, but overall had a negligible effect.
Equity markets experienced a strong recovery during the period covered by this report. We believe the market volatility that occurred during 2010 will continue to create opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations and strong fundamentals. We believe that ultimately those valuations and fundamentals will be reflected in those companies’ stock prices.
As always, we would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. We recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The ability of the Fund’s equity securities to generate income generally depends on the earnings and the continuing declaration of dividends by the issuers of such securities. The interest income on debt securities generally is affected by prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short- and long-term. If dividends are reduced or discontinued or interest rates drop, distributions to shareholders from the Fund may drop as well.
If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of callable securities held by the Fund will call or prepay their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would most likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Funds’ income and distributions to shareholders and termination of any conversion option on convertible securities.
Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Because the Fund generally invests only in investment grade-quality debt securities, it is subject to a lower level of credit risk than a fund investing in lower-quality securities.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. The Fund may also invest in issuers in developing or emerging market countries, which are subject to greater risks than investments in securities of issuers in developed countries.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses. In addition, REITs depend upon specialized management skills, may be less diversified, may have lower trading volume, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid.
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. The securities of small- and medium-sized companies are subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements and may have lower trading volumes or more erratic trading than securities of larger companies or the market averages in general. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The prices of such securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among securities with longer maturities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds Equity and Income Portfolio (“the Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (“the Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class II shares received Series II shares of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class II shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series II shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objectives are both capital appreciation and current income.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund
| | |
| | between the last bid and 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
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 $150 million | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Next $100 million | | | 0 | .45% |
|
Next $100 million | | | 0 | .40% |
|
Over $350 million | | | 0 | .35% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.70% and Series II shares to 0.75% of average daily net assets, through at least June 30, 2012. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class II shares to 1.00% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund
funds. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the MS Investment Management and the Advisor waived advisory fees of $10,775 and $25,597, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $103,659 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $1,063,122 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $726,293 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $2,702 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. IDI has contractually agreed to waive 0.20% of Rule 12b-1 plan fees on Class II shares through at least June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to Morgan Stanley Distribution Inc. (“MSDI”) based on the annual rate of 0.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. MSDI had voluntarily agreed to waive 0.30% distribution fee that it received from the Acquired Fund. MSDI was paid distribution fees of $145,245, after fee waivers of $870,959.
12b-1 fees before fee waivers under this agreement are shown as Distribution fees in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2010, fees incurred after fee waivers for Series II shares were $357,866.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Fund may either (1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
NOTE 7—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 13,994,794 | | | $ | 15,771,072 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 12,048,991 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 87,004,975 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (5,501 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (48,332,887 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 749,744,038 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 800,459,616 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $23,205,519 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |

Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2017 | | $ | 48,332,887 | |

|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $712,085,745. |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $2,507,810, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $2,506,812 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $998. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Equity and Income Fund, (formerly known as Universal Institutional Funds Equity and Income Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund relies on an actively managed quantitative strategy designed to generate absolute returns from a macroeconomic, multi-asset overlay investment discipline.
The research and investment process is focused on understanding the differentiating factors of each market. Accordingly, each decision is represented by an individual model. These models determine the buy/sell decisions across the asset classes. We believe this strategy has the potential to improve diversification and improve the team’s ability to realize excess returns from each market over a full cycle.
The Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation overlay strategy is reset on a monthly basis and implemented with derivatives, mainly futures. It is designed to align the portfolio with the prevailing economic environment and to take advantage of relative price trends without disrupting the underlying bottom-up security selection process.
From an equity standpoint, our philosophy is based on certain assumptions: We believe that markets are inefficient and offer exploitable opportunities. Thus, we strive to achieve outperformance. Risk and return are the focus of our efforts.
We work on a stock-picking level and calculate an estimated attractiveness for each security in the universe. We purely focus on stock selection and keep country/currency, industry and style exposures very close to the benchmark. When considering risk, we take into account the active risk versus our benchmark, which we manage through the use of an optimizer, as well as limiting active factor exposures.
Our stock picking is based on fundamental or behavioral finance concepts. We believe we employ a highly efficient and systematic process in an effort to capture the insight contained in these concepts in our portfolios. We endeavor to minimize transaction costs through state of the art trading techniques. Our research effort is directed to continually enhance and update the investment process to stay ahead of the competition.
The global fixed-income exposure, gained through the use of sovereign debt instruments, is implemented through swaps and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Market conditions and your Fund
The first quarter of 2010 was characterized by a healthy recovery in global equities from the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Hopes for a relatively rapid, sustained recovery were fueled by record amounts of monetary and fiscal stimulus and an exceptionally low interest rate policy. Not surprising, cyclical assets, such as equities, enjoyed significant price advances during that period driven by anticipation that improving economic conditions would boost earnings growth.
The Fund’s exposure to equity, specifically emerging markets, and U.S. high yield fixed-income securities, enhanced performance during this time. Conversely, an underweight position in U.S. equities detracted from returns,

as the U.S. equity market advanced on better-than-expected economic data and resilient corporate profits.
Active currency decisions, implemented through forward contracts, also hampered results. Losses from underweight positions in the Japanese yen, U.S. dollar and Australian dollar, and overweight positions in the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real, overwhelmed gains from an overweight position in the Korean won and the underweight position in the euro.
At the onset of the second quarter of 2010, Chinese officials began to tighten monetary policy in response to fears about inflation, creating concerns about the pace of growth for the Chinese economy and its impact on demand for commodities. Furthermore, concerns about a double-dip recession in the U.S. and fiscal concerns in the peripheral European economies, such as Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, ignited fears of a renewed global economic slowdown. These developments led to a flight to safety approach among global investors driving government bond yields of the world’s largest industrial countries to multidecade lows.
In the final months of the reporting period, equities began to rebound helped by two rather unusual events. In the case of Europe, the creation of a facility to support weaker economies removed the worst of the uncertainty. Domestically, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) unveiled a second round of quantitative easing (QE2). Government bonds benefited from both the economic events and the U.S. policy response, resulting in yields across the yield curve dropping at or near multidecade lows. By year’s end, however, bond yields began to rise. Riskier assets, such as equities, rebounded substantially, posting significant gains in the fourth quarter. Commodities had a very eventful quarter as well with all the major segments rising.
Within the Fund, emerging markets equity exposure continued to contribute positively to performance. With the exception of Australia, where yields declined only modestly, all government fixed income markets benefited from substantial price advances during the period. As a result, the developed market fixed-income strategy had a positive effect on the Fund’s results. Strong performance from both the equity and fixed-income components of the Fund in the fourth quarter contributed to the outperformance for the reporting period.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Foreign markets may, but often do not, move in tandem with U.S. markets, and foreign markets, especially developing or emerging market countries, may be more volatile than U.S. markets. Investments in common stocks and other equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. The prices of fixed income securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among fixed income securities with longer maturities. The yields and market prices of U.S. government securities may move differently and adversely compared to the yields and market prices of the overall securities market, and while backed by the U.S. government, are not guaranteed against declines in their market prices. As interest rates change, zero coupon bonds often fluctuate more in price than securities that make regular interest payments and therefore subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that does not own these types of securities. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to changes in market conditions from the time of the commitment until settlement.
Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. The credit quality of noninvestment grade securities is considered speculative by recognized rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to pay interest and principal. Lower-grade securities (also sometimes known as junk bonds) may have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than higher-grade securities. The Fund may incur higher expenses to protect the Fund’s interest in such securities. The credit risks and market prices of lower-grade securities generally are more sensitive to negative issuer developments or adverse economic conditions than are higher-grade securities.
The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on interest rates, which can very widely over the short- and
long-term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well. The more the Fund invests in adjustable, variable or floating rate securities or in securities susceptible to prepayment risk, the greater the Fund’s income risk.
If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of fixed income securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the prepaid or called securities would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders. Mortgage-related securities are especially sensitive to prepayment risk because borrowers often refinance their mortgages when interest rates drop.
The prices of fixed income securities tend to fall as interest rates rise. For mortgage-related securities, if interest rates rise, borrowers may prepay mortgages more slowly than originally expected. This may further reduce the market value of the securities and lengthen their durations.
Unlike a conventional bond, whose issuer makes regular fixed interest payments and repays the face value of the bond at maturity, an inflation-indexed security provides principal payments and interest payments, both of which are adjusted over time to reflect a direct correlation to either a rise (inflation) or a drop (deflation) in the general price level. There is generally some lag between the time that inflation occurs in the economy and when it is factored into inflation-indexed security valuations. In addition, the inflation index generally used is the non-seasonally adjusted index, which is not statistically smoothed to overcome highs and lows observed at different points each year. The use of the non-seasonally adjusted index can cause the Portfolio’s income level to fluctuate.
Risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. To the extent the Fund
focuses its assets in a single country or region, its portfolio would be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers in that country or region.
Investing in REITs and foreign real estate companies makes the Fund susceptible to the risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general, and may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses. In addition, REITs and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volume, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. The Fund’s investments in commodity linked derivatives to gain exposure to investment returns of assets that trade in the commodity market may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investment in traditional securities. The value of commodity linked derivative investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or sectors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The prices of precious metals and precious metal related securities have historically been very volatile.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each authorized to issue an unlimted number of shares of benefical interest”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Global Tactical Asset Allocation Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation over time. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified mix of equity securities and fixed income securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund
| | |
| | Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund
| | |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
K. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
L. | | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. |
| | Interest rate, total return, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. |
| | A CDS is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. |
| | Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets. |
| | Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund
| | |
| | the counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. |
M. | | Other Risks — The Fund may invest in affiliated mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”) or unaffiliated exchange-traded funds (“underlying funds”). Each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks and those risks can affect the value of the underlying funds’ shares and therefore the value of the Fund’s investments. Each underlying fund’s accounting policies are outlined in the underlying fund’s financial statements and are available upon request. |
N. | | Offering Costs — Offering costs are amortized, on a straight-line basis, over a twelve month period. |
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 $750 million | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Next $750 million | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Over $1.5 billion | | | 0 | .65% |
|
Prior to the reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $311,560 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark Ltd. (collectively, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisers”) the Adviser, not the Funds, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the Adviser to any such Affiliated Sub-Adviser(s) that provide discretionary investment management services to each Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization Date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.90% and Series II shares to 1.15% of average daily net assets, respectively. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Fund’s expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I and Class II shares of $108,733.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 period ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $211,320.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the period ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $7,390 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $93,546 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments, Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, the Acquired Fund paid $47,201 to VKII.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $6,508 to Van Kampen Investor Services, Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class II shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $103,730 to VKFI. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 6—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $623 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $1,410 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 7—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Distributions to Shareholders:
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Year Ended December 31, 2010 and Period Ended December 31, 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 62,312,858 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 74,692,663 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
The Fund does not have a capital loss carryforward at period-end.
NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $222,137,886 and $219,527,172, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 6,222,615 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (168,234 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 6,054,381 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $67,626,511. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) was decreased by $450,507, accumulated net realized gain was increased by $450,109 and capital was increased by $398. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Tactical Asset Allocation Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Global Tactical Asset Allocation Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
The Fund invests primarily in stocks of mid- and large-cap global companies with a record of stable earnings and strong balance sheets that are attractively valued relative to the broad market and their peers. We take a bottom-up, research driven approach to investing. We begin with a universe of global equity securities, from both developed and emerging markets, with greater than $1 billion in market capitalization and up to 10 years of financial statement information. We make adjustments to each company’s financial history for inflation rates and select accounting conventions to create a comparable basis for analysis.
We then rank the universe using a proprietary, three-factor valuation ranking model that combines a company’s implied return, price/book ratio and price/earnings ratio. Attractively ranked companies are then subjected to rigorous fundamental research focused on evaluating the sustainability of company profitability. The most attractive stocks from the valuation screen which have
also successfully passed rigorous fundamental research are candidates for inclusion in the portfolio. At the portfolio level, we seek to achieve appropriate diversification relative to the index and take a long-term investment horizon in evaluating companies, which results in relatively low rates of portfolio turnover.
We strive to maintain a consistent investment discipline through varying market conditions and an appropriate level of overall portfolio diversification. Individual holdings are selected based on their own merits, however, and not on projections of country or sector performance.
Our sell discipline is a replication of the security selection process as we look to trim or liquidate positions in the portfolio based on valuation, fundamentals or portfolio design considerations.
Market conditions and your Fund
After rallying for much of 2009 on prospects of improving global economic conditions, global equity markets faced headwinds in 2010. Notably, several
southern European economies, including Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, faced solvency concerns amid massive fiscal deficits. Although the U.S. economy continued with a positive growth rate in 2010, investors continued to be concerned about high unemployment and a still-weak housing market. The period ended with a market upswing as a flurry of private sector merger and acquisition activity began – a sign of cash-rich corporations and strong balance sheets.
In contrast, China enacted credit-tightening measures in early 2010 in an attempt to slow its economy. The combination of robust domestic economic developments and largely upbeat corporate earnings supported Asian equity markets during the period. However, concerns about potential overheating in emerging market economies, coupled with concerns of a potential double-dip recession in developed economies, continued to foster uncertainty about the pace and vigor of a global economic recovery.
At the beginning of the year, riskier assets, like stocks, were outperforming securities considered safe havens, such as U.S. Treasuries. This trend continued through the middle of April 2010. Renewed credit problems overseas, and the market corrections that occurred in May, June and August, however, created a more uncertain environment, which prompted many investors to favor safety over risk. Although the path to economic recovery remained uncertain, several positive trends fueled a resurgence in global equity markets during the last few months of the reporting period. As bottom-up investors, we have seen the number of potential investment opportunities in attractive companies increase

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund
materially in recent months. With above-average market volatility possibly persisting for some time, we believe our investment approach is potentially well suited for the current climate.
The Fund stayed true to its process by maintaining its quality orientation in stock selection. Our stock selection in the consumer staples and IT sectors made the largest contribution to the Fund’s relative results. Within IT, U.S.-based Oracle, an enterprise software company, acquired Sun Microsystems and Silver Creek Systems. Stock selection and our underweight position in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors detracted from relative performance, failing to keep pace with the benchmark’s gains. Within the financials sector, U.K.-based Prudential PLC, is an international financial services company with its principal operations in the U.K., the U.S. and Asia. We liquidated this holding from the Fund.
The Fund’s performance in the energy sector was hurt by our allocation to energy corporation BP, which faced a difficult environment in the wake of the well disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. We sold BP. On an absolute basis, all sectors in the Fund posted positive returns during the year with the exception of our utilities holdings.
From a geographical perspective, all global regions represented in the Fund generated positive absolute performance during the year. Japan contributed the most to absolute returns, while Europe contributed the least on a relative basis. The Fund’s exposure to Hong Kong, Greece and Canada detracted from performance during the year. Conversely, our stock selection in Spain, the U.S. and the U.K. helped Fund performance versus the benchmark. The Fund also benefited from favorable Japanese stock selection throughout the period, leading to profit taking in a number of stocks. The allocation to Japan remained neutral to the benchmark during the year. Additionally, exposure to non-benchmark areas such as emerging markets contributed during the period.
From a positioning perspective, the Fund remained underweight in financials relative to the benchmark. From a geographic perspective, the Fund maintained a healthy weighting in emerging markets and Canada, while being overweight in Japan and underweight in the U.S. relative to the benchmark. Fund holdings are determined based on the merits of individual securities and not on a country or sector basis.
Market participants are vacillating between inconsistent economic data and strong momentum in earnings from the corporate sector. At the same time, balance sheet repair has been actively pursued on multiple fronts by consumers, financial institutions and select governments. While these ultimately healthy initiatives may temper the pace of economic recovery in the near term, falling government bond yields lowered mortgage rates to even more affordable levels, thus providing some level of support for the housing market. In the face of these conflicting signals, we believe above-average equity market and foreign exchange volatility could persist. We believe our emphasis on profitability and attractive valuations has the potential to serve clients well over the long-term.
We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult your financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.
We welcome any new investors who joined the Fund during the year, and to all of our shareholders, we thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
In general, prices of equity securities are more volatile than those of fixed income securities. Prices of equity securities will rise and fall in response to events that affect entire financial markets or industries and to events that affect particular issuers. Investing in convertible securities may subject the portfolio to the risks associated with both fixed income securities and common stocks.
Value stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Value stocks can continue to be undervalued for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.
Investing in the securities of foreign issuers, particularly those located in emerging market or developing countries entails the risk that news and events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers generally will be denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in the value of a country’s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Fund’s investments.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid.
About indexes used in this report
The MSCI World IndexSM is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of developed countries.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es).
A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.
Other information
The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
Industry classifications used in this report are generally according to the Global Industry Classification Standard, which was developed by and is the exclusive property and a service mark of MSCI Inc. and Standard & Poor’s.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Funds Global Value Equity Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Series I shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers throughout the world, including U.S. issuers.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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”). |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
K. | | Foreign Currency Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to manage or minimize currency or exchange rate risk. The Fund may also enter into foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of that security. A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The use of foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the contract date and reporting date exchange rates and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on the contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks may be in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

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 $1 billion | | | 0 | .67% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .645% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .62% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .595% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .57% |
|
Over $4.5 billion | | | 0 | .545% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MSIM”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of master sub-advisory agreements 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 Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s). Prior to the Reorganization, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited served as sub-adviser to the Acquired Fund.
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.15% and Series II shares to 1.40% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, MSIM had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I shares to 1.15% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIM waived advisory fees of $11,659 and $169, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,315 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $61,435 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $46,176 to MSIM and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $568 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Derivative Investments
The Fund has implemented the required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $609 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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.

|
Total net assets | | $ | 44,729,134 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $1,219,041 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 2,956,661 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 17,917,975 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 20,874,636 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 6,168,922 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (291,905 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 5,877,017 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $38,905,132 |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $731,437, and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $731,437. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 12—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of Invesco V.I. Global Dividend Growth Fund (the “Target Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Target Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 13—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Global Value Equity Fund, (formerly known as Universal Institutional Global Value Equity Portfolio; one of the funds constituting Invesco Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
We invest primarily in debt securities issued, guaranteed or backed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. These securities include: U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, U.S. agency debentures and agency-backed mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as interest rate futures contracts and engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions, a form of repurchase agreement activity in the to-be-announced (TBA) market for agency MBS.
Our security selection is supported by a team of independent specialists. Team members conduct top-down macroeconomic, as well as bottom-up analysis on individual securities. Recommendations are communicated to portfolio managers through proprietary technology that allows all investment professionals to communicate in a timely manner.
Portfolio construction begins with a well-defined Fund design that establishes the target investment vehicles for
generating the desired “alpha” (the extra return above a specific benchmark), as well as the risk parameters for the Fund. Investment vehicles are evaluated for liquidity and relative value.
Sell decisions are based on:
n | | A conscious decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning, sector exposure). |
|
n | | The need to limit or reduce exposure to a particular sector or issuer. |
|
n | | Degradation of an issuer’s credit quality. |
|
n | | Realignment of a valuation target. |
|
n | | Presentation of a better relative value opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
In the U.S. and much of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued during 2010, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies
improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. However, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although the pace remained modest as stubbornly high unemployment and housing sector weakness continued to weigh on the economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at an annual rate of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by stating: “The Committee anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability, although the pace of economic recovery is likely to be more modest in the near term than had been anticipated.”2
U.S. Treasury yields for securities with maturities of two to 30 years ended the year lower than at the start, indicative of positive 12-month returns across government bond sectors.3 Treasuries performed well for the year despite a significant rise in yields for intermediate and longer maturity securities during the final three months of the year, driven by rising inflation expectations and improving economic data. The broader U.S. investment grade bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, also generated a

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund
positive total return for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. Slow economic growth, the avoidance of a double-dip recession, a recovery in corporate financial health, strong inflows into credit-related asset classes and low overall interest rates supported the performance of bonds, especially in non-government sectors.
In this market environment, the Fund generated positive returns, but slightly underperformed its style-specific index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/ Mortgage Index, for the year. Since taking over management of the Fund in June, sector allocation and security selection decisions that favored the yield advantage and price stability of short average life agency MBS collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and higher coupon agency pass-through MBS benefited total return performance versus the style-specific index, and contributed to a higher-than-index average yield-to-maturity for the period. To accommodate the emphasis on agency CMO and MBS, the Fund maintained an underweight allocation in lower yielding fixed-rate, fixed-maturity U.S. Treasuries. Security selection among Treasuries and agency MBS benefited the Fund. We emphasized higher coupon 30-year MBS during the period when the high coupon portion of the style-specific benchmark outperformed Treasuries by a significant margin.3 The Fund also benefited from incremental income earned by engaging in dollar (mortgage) roll activity, a type of repurchase transaction in the highly liquid TBA market for agency MBS. A dollar roll involves the Fund selling an MBS to a financial institution, with an agreement to repurchase a substantially similar security at an agreed upon price and date. Cash proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, generate income for the Fund.
The Fund also uses active duration and yield curve positioning for risk management and for generating alpha versus its benchmark. Duration measures a portfolio’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes, with a shorter duration portfolio tending to be less sensitive to these changes. The contribution to performance from duration position versus the style-specific benchmark was mixed over the period, but overall it had a negative effect. A sustained, longer-than-style-specific benchmark duration posture during much of the second half of the
year was beneficial to relative returns during the third quarter as rates continued to decline. However, this strategy was detrimental during the fourth quarter of 2010 as there was a significant rise in interest rates. Yield curve positioning during the third quarter, when the Fund held a greater quantity of longer duration securities than the index, also had a slight negative effect on performance. U.S. Treasury note futures contracts were an important tool used in the management of our targeted portfolio duration.

This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid.
Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Credit risk should be low for the Fund because it invests substantially all of its assets in U.S. Government securities.
The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on interest rates, which can vary widely over the short-and long-term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well. The more the Fund invests in adjustable, variable or floating rate securities or in securities susceptible to prepayment risk, the greater the Fund’s income risk.
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among debt securities with longer maturities. The yields and market prices of U.S. government securities may move differently and adversely compared to the yields and market prices of the overall securities markets. U.S. government securities, while backed by the U.S. government, are not guaranteed against declines in their market prices. As interest rates change, zero coupon bonds often fluctuate more in price than securities that make regular interest payments and therefore subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that does not own these types of securities.
If interest rates fall, the principal on debt securities held by the Fund may be paid earlier than expected. If this happens, the proceeds from a prepaid security would likely be reinvested by the Fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders. Mortgage-related securities are especially sensitive to prepayment risk because borrowers often refinance their mortgages when interest rates drop.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the Fund that it is obligated to repurchase. Also, in the event the buyer of mortgage-related files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale may be restricted pending a decision whether the Fund is obligated to repurchase mortgage-related securities.
Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of securities to be repurchased may decline below the repurchase price, or that the other party may default on its obligation, resulting in the Fund being delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s repurchase obligation.
The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise. For mortgage-related securities, if interest rates rise, borrowers may prepay mortgages more slowly than originally expected. This may further reduce the market value of the securities and lengthen their durations.

The Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designation is globally recognized and attests to a charterholder’s success in a rigorous and comprehensive study program in the field of investment management and research analysis.
The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of the AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Government Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively, of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide investors with high current return consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II shares, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund
| | |
| | Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Other Risks — The Funds may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the underlying fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. Many securities purchased by the Fund are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. |
J. | | Swap Agreements — The Fund may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. |
| | Interest rate, total return, index, and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund
| | |
| | A CDS is an agreement between two parties (“Counterparties”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer. A buyer of a CDS is said to buy protection by paying a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and in some situations an upfront payment to the seller of the CDS. If a defined credit event occurs (such as payment default or bankruptcy), the Fund as a protection buyer would cease paying its fixed payment, the Fund would deliver eligible bonds issued by the reference entity to the seller, and the seller would pay the full notional value, or the “par value”, of the referenced obligation to the Fund. A seller of a CDS is said to sell protection and thus would receive a fixed payment over the life of the agreement and an upfront payment, if applicable. If a credit event occurs, the Fund as a protection seller would cease to receive the fixed payment stream, the Fund would pay the buyer “par value” or the full notional value of the referenced obligation, and the Fund would receive the eligible bonds issued by the reference entity. In turn, these bonds may be sold in order to realize a recovery value. Alternatively, the seller of the CDS and its counterparty may agree to net the notional amount and the market value of the bonds and make a cash payment equal to the difference to the buyer of protection. If no credit event occurs, the Fund receives the fixed payment over the life of the agreement. As the seller, the Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the CDS. In connection with these agreements, cash and securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default under the swap agreement or bankruptcy/insolvency of a party to the swap agreement. |
| | Implied credit spreads represent the current level at which protection could be bought or sold given the terms of the existing CDS contract and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the CDS. An implied spread that has widened or increased since entry into the initial contract may indicate a deteriorating credit profile and increased risk of default for the reference entity. A declining or narrowing spread may indicate an improving credit profile or decreased risk of default for the reference entity. Alternatively, credit spreads may increase or decrease reflecting the general tolerance for risk in the credit markets. |
| | Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of a Fund under any swap transaction. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate; the counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. |
K. | | Dollar Roll and Forward Commitment Transactions — The Fund may engage in dollar roll and forward commitment transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. These transactions are often conducted on a to be announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA mortgage-backed transaction, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Rather, a Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms, such as an agreed upon issuer, coupon rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. TBA mortgage-backed transactions generally settle once a month on a specific date. |
| | In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security held in the Fund to a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously agrees to purchase a substantially similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) from the institution at an agreed upon price and future date. The mortgage-backed securities to be purchased will bear the same coupon as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. Based on the typical structure of dollar roll transactions by the Fund, the dollar roll transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in which the Fund receives compensation as either a “fee” or a “drop”. “Fee” income which is agreed upon amongst the parties at the commencement of the dollar roll and the “drop” which is the difference between the selling price and the repurchase price of the mortgage-backed securities are amortized to income. During the period between the sale and purchase settlement dates, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on securities purchased and not yet settled. Proceeds of the sale may be invested in short-term instruments, and the income from these investments, together with any additional fee income received on the sale, could generate income for the Fund exceeding the yield on the security sold. Dollar roll transactions are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve commitments by the Fund to acquire or sell TBA mortgage-backed securities from/to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer at a specified future date and amount. The TBA mortgage-backed security is marked to market until settlement and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded in the statement of operations. |
| | At the time the Fund enters into the dollar roll or forward commitment transaction, mortgage-backed securities or other liquid assets held by the Fund having a dollar value equal to the purchase price or in an amount sufficient to honor the forward commitment will be segregated. |
| | Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to purchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to purchase the securities. The return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the return on the securities sold. |
| | Forward commitment transactions involve the risk that a counter-party to the transaction may fail to complete the transaction. If this occurs, the Fund may lose the opportunity to purchase or sell the security at the agreed upon price. Settlement dates of forward commitment transactions may be a month or more after entering into these transactions and as a result the market values of the securities may vary from the purchase or sale prices. Therefore, forward commitment transactions may increase the Fund’s overall interest rate exposure. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund
| | |
L. | | Futures Contracts — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate, equity and market price movements and/or currency risks. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified underlying security, currency or commodity (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of an index future) for a fixed price at a future date. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a daily basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The primary risks associated with futures contracts are market risk and the absence of a liquid secondary market. If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
M. | | Collateral — To the extent the Fund has pledged or segregated a security as collateral and that security is subsequently sold, it is the Fund’s practice to replace such collateral no later than the next business day. |
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 | .50% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .45% |
|
Over $1 billion | | | 0 | .40% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $653,673 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rate above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.60% and Series II shares to 0.85%, of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I and Class II shares. Van Kampen did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this agreement.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 period ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $364,858 under this limitation.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services to the fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreements, for the period ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $47,816 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $453,173 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and chief compliance officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $12,616 to VKII.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $8,024 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for Class II shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $292,458 to VKFI. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
For the period June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $796 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $2,550 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 8,536,343 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 3,065,735 | |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 297,836,564 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 297,191,611 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $0 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 10,072,819 | |
|
December 31, 2018 | | | 1,179,521 | |
|
Total | | $ | 11,252,340 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 8—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $16,859,637 and $61,253,506, respectively. During the same period, purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations were $897,071,514 and $844,340,949. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period end.

|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 4,040,517 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (974,782 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 3,065,735 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $322,525,139. |
NOTE 9—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of paydown: gains (losses), on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $1,580,052, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $1,584,726 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $4,674. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 85% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund,Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services.

NOTE 11—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco V.I. Government Securities Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Government Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Government Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index. Because the Fund uses a bottom-up stock selection approach, stock selection in various sectors was the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We call our investment philosophy “value with a catalyst.” We believe that undervalued companies which are experiencing positive changes (i.e., “catalysts”) have the potential to generate long-term stock price growth for shareholders. We generally seek to identify companies that are out of favor with investors, underearning relative to their potential and attractively valued. For these companies, we attempt to identify catalysts that may improve the financial results and/or correct the undervaluation. Examples of catalysts typically include improved operational efficiency, changing industry dynamics and/or a change in management.
We initially identify potential investments through a series of quantitative screens including, but not limited to, return on capital and enterprise value to sales metrics. We then conduct fundamental research on the most attractive opportunities. The research process includes a thorough review of a company’s financial statements, an evaluation of its competitive position and stability and meetings with its executives. During the research process, we also value the company under various scenarios
to determine if the investment is an attractive opportunity relative to its risks. This also is where we typically identify the positive catalyst, a prerequisite for potential investment. Finally, we generally set a price target for a stock based on normalized earnings and historical valuation multiples.
In short, our objective is to exploit negative sentiment toward a company’s stock by analyzing the company’s operations in the context of a cyclical environment and identifying one or more catalysts that may improve the company’s financial performance. Improved financial performance, in turn, has the potential to drive the company’s stock price higher.
We typically sell an investment when it reaches our estimate of fair value or when we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive but often were overshadowed by concerns
about high unemployment, weak consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis – combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data – added to concerns that the recovery was slowing. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news.
Major equity indexes produced positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
The Fund benefited from an overweight exposure to, and stock selection in, the consumer discretionary sector. The Fund’s overweight position in the sector was concentrated among media stocks, which benefited from an increase in advertising revenue during the reporting period. Viacom, a top Fund holding, performed well throughout the reporting period. The company reduced costs, was disciplined with its capital and grew advertising revenue.
Stock selection in the telecommunication services sector also aided the Fund’s performance relative to its style-specific index. Vodafone helped performance. The company owns approximately 45% of Verizon Communications. Verizon has been able to grow its subscriber base,

and investors are anticipating the introduction of the iPhone onto the network.
Stock selection in the health care sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund owned Genzyme, a biotechnology company that received a takeover offer from Sanofi-aventis (not a Fund holding). As a result, Genzyme rose significantly on the news, and we sold our position.
Offsetting these positive results was the negative impact of the information technology and financials sectors.
The Fund was overweight in technology stocks throughout the reporting period, and most of our exposure was to hardware and equipment and software services stocks. Stock selection in hardware and equipment detracted the most from relative performance. Fund holding Hewlett Packard sold off on the news its chief executive officer was leaving the company due to expense-related improprieties. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund continued to own the stock.
Although the Fund was underweight in the financials sector relative to its style-specific index during the reporting period, we cautiously increased our exposure to some banks and capital markets companies that we believed had improved their balance sheets and were better capitalized. Also, real estate was a strong performing asset class during the reporting period. The Fund had no exposure to this asset class, however, and therefore did not benefit from real estate’s strong performance.
Equity markets experienced a strong recovery during the period covered by this report. We believe that the market volatility that occurred during 2010 will continue to create opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations and strong fundamentals. We believe that ultimately those valuations and fundamentals may be reflected in those companies’ stock prices.
As always, we would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. We recommend that you consult your financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Investments in equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. The ability of the Fund’s equity securities holdings to generate income is dependent on the earnings and the continuing declaration of dividends by the issuers of such securities. The values of income-producing equity securities may or may not move in tandem with overall changes in the stock market. The Fund’s investments in fixed income or debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The market prices of such securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines may be greater among securities with longer maturities. The values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tend to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Growth and Income Portfolio (“the Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (“the Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares received Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series I and Series II shares, respectively of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objectives are both capital appreciation and income.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund
| | |
| | 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund
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 | .60% |
|
Over $500 million | | | 0 | .55% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $4,000,003 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.62% and Series II shares to 0.87% of average daily net assets, through at least June 30, 2012. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I and Class II shares. Van Kampen did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under this agreement.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 period ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $2,323,699.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $220,432 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $2,490,210 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) Employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $39,772 to VKII.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $9,145 to Van Kampen Investor Services, Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class II shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $1,609,660 to VKFI. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund
(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 December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Equity Securities | | $ | 1,875,083,478 | | | $ | 17,458,431 | | | $ | -0- | | | $ | 1,892,541,909 | |
|
NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $1,732 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $7,320 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,712,421 | | | $ | 52,250,407 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 20,044,581 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 196,450,212 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (10,366 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (104,664,620 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 1,768,047,228 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 1,879,867,035 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund
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 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 utilized $91,339,394 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2017 | | $ | 104,664,620 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $514,442,686 and $496,474,574, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 228,781,223 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (32,331,011 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 196,450,212 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $1,696,091,697. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, accumulated undistributed net investment income was decreased by $609 and capital increased by $609. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.
NOTE 9—Share Information

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 81% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund
NOTE 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Growth and Income Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Growth and Income Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
As part of Invesco’s June 1, 2010, acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, Morgan Stanley Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. V.I. High Yield Portfolio was reorganized into Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund.
On June 25, 2010, Peter Ehret, head of High Yield and portfolio manager, and his investment team took over management of the Fund. A listing of your Fund’s managers appears later in this report.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Series I shares of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund underperformed the Fund’s broad market index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index, due mainly to the Fund’s conservative posture during the 12-month period.
The Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We invest primarily in debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality. These bonds, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are typically corporate bonds of U.S. based companies, many of which are moderately sized firms. We principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above, although we regularly own bonds of lesser quality as well. We may invest in convertible bonds, preferred stock, derivatives and bank loans, but do not expect these instruments to be a substantial part of our portfolio. We may invest up to 30% of total assets in foreign securities.
The primary driver of our security selection is fundamental bottom-up credit analysis conducted by a team of analysts who specialize by industry. This approach is augmented with an
on-going review of the relative value of securities and a top-down process that includes sector, economic and quantitative analysis. Changes in a security’s risk/return profile or relative value and top-down factors generally determine buy and sell decisions.
Portfolio construction begins with a well-defined Fund design that emphasizes diversification and establishes the target investment vehicles for generating the desired “alpha” (the return expected from an investment) as well as the risk parameters appropriate for the current positioning in the credit cycle. Investments are evaluated for liquidity and risk versus relative value. Working closely with other investment specialists and traders, we determine the timing and amount of each alpha decision to use in the portfolio at any time, taking into
account security selection skill and market opportunities.
| | Sell decisions are based on: |
|
n | | Low equity value to debt, high subordination and negative free cash flow coupled with negative news, declining expectations, or an increasing risk profile. |
|
n | | Very low yields. |
|
n | | Presentation of a better relative value opportunity. |
Market conditions and your Fund
In the U.S. and most of the developed world, a gradual and somewhat lackluster recovery continued, with central banks keeping interest rates at low levels and with few of them withdrawing their quantitative easing measures. This helped private sector companies improve their balance sheets and earnings following the global financial crisis that began to dissipate in early 2009. However, investor skepticism of global governments’ abilities to retire huge amounts of debt without affecting economic growth rates caused sovereign debt distress (especially for eurozone countries) and became a focal point of investor concern.
In the U.S., economic recovery was present, although the pace of recovery remained modest as stubbornly high unemployment and export weakness continued to weigh on the economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of overall U.S. economic activity, increased at annual rates of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.1 The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a very accommodative monetary policy throughout the period, with the federal funds target rate

unchanged in its range of zero to 0.25%.2 The Fed recently described its view of the U.S. economy by stating: “The Committee anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability, although the pace of economic recovery is likely to be more modest in the near term than had been anticipated.”2 Consequently, it was widely expected that the Fed would continue to keep interest rates low for an extended period.
Defaults in the high yield bond market reached extreme lows in 2010 and were below those recorded during the previous year.
The broad U.S. high yield bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index, generated strong positive total return for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010. Slow but steady economic growth, the avoidance of a double-dip recession, a recovery in corporate financial health, strong inflows into the high yield asset class, low overall interest rates and a decline in defaults boosted the performance of high yield bonds. In May and November of 2010, debt concerns in Europe caused investors to scale back their risk profile and embrace the safe haven of U.S. government-related securities. Late in the year, U.S. Treasury yields began to rise. Nonetheless, the impact was insufficient to erase gains realized by non-government bonds over the reporting period.
On an absolute basis, the Fund generated positive returns for the 12-month period. Prior to the current management taking control, the Fund maintained a defensive posture and was underweight in lower quality CCC-rated issues for the first half of the reporting period. This was the main detractor from performance as lower credit quality issues experienced the most significant positive returns in the high yield market. The previous managers de-emphasized highly cyclical (or economically sensitive) industries and focused on more stable industry groups that have performed relatively well throughout an economic cycle. The Fund’s overweight positions in the oil field services and telecommunication wirelines industries detracted from its performance as these asset classes underperformed for the first half of the reporting period. The Fund’s underweight position in the financials sector, particularly in the banking and finance company industries, was a significant detractor as these assets outperformed during the period.
Since taking over management of the Fund on June 25, 2010, we have worked on aligning the Fund to the Invesco research team’s outlook. We have gradually built up our investment weights in financial companies, particularly in banking and insurance companies; however, we remained cautious about the lower quality bonds. The largest detractors for the second half of the reporting period resulted from security selection in the consumer cyclical services and media non-cable industries, and security selection and an underweight allocation in the information technology sector. The Fund outperformed in the electric, automotive and non-captive diversified industries.
We remain generally positive in our assessment of high yield securities; however, macroeconomic risks, slow economic growth and the potential for a double-dip recession and current valuations make us cautious about owning riskier assets. We believe the risk of holding those highest risk securities outweighs potential benefits for the Fund at this time.
Thank you for investing in Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund and for sharing our long-term investment horizon.

This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Because the Fund invests primarily in medium- and lower-grade securities, the Fund is subject to a higher level of credit risk than a fund that invests only in investment grade securities. The credit quality of noninvestment-grade securities is considered speculative by recognized rating agencies with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to pay interest and principal. Lower-grade securities (also sometimes known as junk bonds) may have less liquidity and a higher incidence of default than higher-grade securities. The Fund may incur higher expenses to protect the Fund’s interests in such securities. The credit risks and market prices of medium- and lower-grade securities, especially those with longer maturities or those that do not make regular interest payments, generally are more sensitive to negative issuer developments or adverse economic conditions and may be more volatile than are higher-grade securities.
The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates and credit risk, which can vary widely over the short- and long-term. If interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well.
If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of income securities with high interest rates will prepay or “call” their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from these securities would likely be reinvested in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in the Fund’s income and distributions to shareholders.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Risks of derivatives include imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to certain transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid.
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in income securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the credit-worthiness of the issuer. The prices of such securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among income securities with longer maturities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying security.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund (the “Fund”), is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as High Yield Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund Class I shares received Series I shares of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund — Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high yield securities.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund
| | |
| | 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. |
| | 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) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund
| | |
F. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Lower-Rated Securities — The Fund may invest in lower-quality debt securities, i.e., “junk bonds”. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims. |
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 | .42% |
|
Over $250 million | | | 0 | .345% |
|
Next $250 million | | | 0 | .295% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .27% |
|
Next $1 billion | | | 0 | .245% |
|
Over $3 billion | | | 0 | .22% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $64,669 to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.80% and Series II shares to 1.05% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I shares to 0.80% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIM waived advisory fees of $72,612 and $2,657, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,315 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $46,643 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $38,274 to MSIM and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.

Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $154 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $602 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,242,255 | | | $ | 2,924,346 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,791,516 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 1,579,953 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (142 | ) |

|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 49,180,326 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 30,639,658 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $3,167,730 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2011 | | $ | 12,174,856 | |

|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 22,905,085 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |
NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $35,599,468 and $43,429,625, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.
| | | | |
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,698,841 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (118,888 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 1,579,953 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $28,498,730 | | | | |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of expired capital loss carryforward, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was increased by $9,102, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $6,651,739 and shares of beneficial interest decreased by $6,660,841. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 11—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees of the Trust unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Agreement”) pursuant to the Fund would transfer all of its assets to Invesco V.I. High Yield Fund (“Acquiring Fund”), a series of the Trust. Upon closing of the reorganization, shareholders of the Fund will receive a corresponding class of shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund, and the Fund will liquidate and cease operations. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
The Fund is a new fund that was formed to acquire the assets and liabilities of a predecessor fund in a shell fund reorganization (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the organization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. High Yield Fund, (formerly known as Universal Institutional Funds High Yield Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
As part of Invesco’s June 1, 2010, acquisition of Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, Universal Institutional Funds International Growth Equity Portfolio was reorganized as Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund. Effective June 1, 2010, Clas Olsson, Barrett Sides, Steve Cao, Matt Dennis and Jason Holzer managed the Fund. A listing of your Fund’s managers appears later in this report.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, excluding variable product issuer charges, Series I shares delivered a double-digit gain and outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund’s allocations in the Asia/Pacific region provided the largest positive contribution to this outperformance. Relative results also benefited from the Fund’s exposure to strong performing emerging market stocks, a segment of the market not represented in the MSCI EAFE Index.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
When selecting stocks for your Fund, we employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes fundamental research, supported by both quantitative analysis and portfolio construction techniques. Our EQV (earnings, quality, valuation) strategy focuses primarily on identifying quality companies that have experienced, or exhibit the potential for, accelerated or above-average earnings growth, but their stock prices have not fully reflected these attributes.
While research responsibilities within the portfolio management team are focused by geographic region, we select
investments for the Fund using a bottom-up investment approach, which means we construct the Fund primarily on a stock-by-stock basis. We focus on the strengths of individual companies rather than sectors, countries or market-cap trends.
We believe a disciplined sell decision is key to successful investing. We consider selling a stock for one of the following reasons:
n | | A company’s fundamentals deteriorate or it posts disappointing earnings. |
|
n | | A stock’s price seems overvalued. |
|
n | | A more attractive opportunity becomes available. |

Market conditions and your Fund
After rallying for much of 2009 on prospects of improving global economic conditions, global equity markets faced headwinds in early 2010. Notably, several southern European economies, including Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, faced solvency concerns amid massive fiscal deficits. Although the U.S. economy returned to a positive growth rate in 2009, investors continued to be concerned about high unemployment and a still-weak housing market. However, not all news was bad. Equity markets seemed to shrug off some of the macroeconomic burdens that pulled them into double-digit losses in the first half of 2010, ending the year with strong positive gains.
Looking to Asian markets, the message was pretty simple — growth fundamentals remain stronger there than in the west. Although we see marginal differences in stock valuations, with slight premiums in some areas, we believe it is nothing overly concerning.
Emerging markets, the biggest winners in 2010, saw exports slow down during the latter half of the period. The deceleration in exports was offset, however, by strong growth in retail and auto sales, as well as strong housing markets within emerging economies. The key driver for growth in domestic demand was low interest rates and underleveraged consumers.
Turning to Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) remained an interesting foil to the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed), as ECB officials showed little sign that they were willing to provide additional economic stimulus. Instead, they left the heavy global economic lifting to the Fed. As a result, we saw the slide in the euro’s value reverse during the first half of 2010. Europe’s solid performance during a period of marked volatility served as a useful reminder that, in general, when people focus disproportionately on macroeconomic or gross domestic product (GDP) trends in a market, equity markets can surprise investors when they move against conventional wisdom.
In this environment, we continued to construct the Fund’s portfolio on a bottom-up basis, selecting stocks on an individual basis. Meaningful outperformance versus the MSCI EAFE Index came from the telecommunication services and industrials sectors.
In the telecommunication services sector, strong stock selection, predominantly across Latin America focused
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund
wireless providers, led to outperformance versus the index. Top contributors included Mexico based America Movil and Millicom International Cellular (Luxembourg). Millicom International Cellular is no longer held by the Fund.
Stock selection was the key driver of outperformance across the industrials sector as well. Particular strength was seen in the capital goods industry. Top contributors included Singapore-based Keppel, a global leader in offshore rig construction, and industry leader of robotics and factory automation solutions Fanuc (Japan).
By contrast, despite delivering double-digit gains in the materials sector, the Fund’s continued underweight exposure was a drag on relative results. We question the ability of materials companies to maintain current returns and we are cautious about their ability to maintain capital discipline. The largest detractor over the period was Israel-based Teva Pharmaceuticals.
In broad geographic terms, the Fund saw meaningful outperformance in both Europe and Asia. Exposure to emerging markets, markets not included in the index, was supportive as well as this segment of the market saw significant gains during the reporting period. By contrast, relative gains were modestly offset by the negative impact of stock selection in Sweden and the Netherlands. A meaningful underweight in Japan detracted from relative results as well.
Stock selection in the portfolio was driven by the underlying fundamentals of a company, not any top-down macroeconomic views. That being said, our belief in the strength of consumer growth outside the U.S. explains the Fund’s overweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector. Similarly, healthy technology spending over the last several months of 2010 was supportive of our overweight exposure to the information technology sector.
Following strong market performance in the second half of 2010, investor sentiment rose to the high end of historic norms supported by low interest rates, ample liquidity and improving global GDP outlooks versus this time last year. At the same time, the risks of tighter monetary policy in robust emerging market economies and the lingering sovereign debt situation in Europe means investors should be prepared for volatility. At the close of the reporting period, we remained focused on investing according to our fundamentally driven investment process and maintaining our long-term investment view. We
thank you for your continued investment in Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
In general, prices of equity securities are more volatile than those of fixed income securities. Prices of equity securities will rise and fall in response to events that affect entire financial markets or industries and to events that affect particular issuers.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
The adviser may invest in certain instruments, such as derivatives, and the portfolio managers may use certain techniques, such as hedging, to manage these risks. However, the adviser cannot guarantee that it will be practical to hedge these risks in certain markets or under particular conditions or that it will succeed in doing so. The adviser may use derivatives for other purposes, such as gaining exposure to foreign markets.
While a substantial portion of the Fund’s assets generally are invested in the developed countries of Europe and the Far East, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in securities of issuers in emerging market or developing countries. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in debt securities issued or guaranteed by non-U.S. governments, but will invest only in securities issued or guaranteed by the governments of countries which are members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The Fund may purchase and sell certain derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, structured investments and currency-related transactions involving options, futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps, and may purchase contracts for difference (CFDs), for various portfolio management purposes, including to facilitate portfolio management and to mitigate risks.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of issuers from at least three different foreign countries. Derivative instruments used by the Fund will be counted toward the 80% policy to
the extent they have economic characteristics similar to the securities included within that policy. This policy may be changed without shareholder approval; however, you will be notified in writing of any changes.
The Fund considers an issuer to be from a particular country if (i) its principal securities trading market is in that country; (ii) alone or on a consolidated basis it derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services performed in that country; or (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in that country. By applying these tests, it is possible that a particular issuer could be deemed to be from more than one country.
The Fund may invest in the equity securities of any company regardless of market capitalization size. Investing in the securities of smaller companies involves greater risk and price volatility than investing in larger, more established firms. In addition, such companies typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger companies.
About indexes used in this report
The MSCI EAFE® Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of stocks of Europe, Australasia and the Far East.
The Fund is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Fund may deviate significantly from the performance of the index(es).
A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges. Performance of the peer group, if applicable, reflects fund expenses; performance of a market index does not.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds International Growth Equity Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class II shares received Series II shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class II shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series II shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation, with a secondary objective of income.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund
| | |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
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 $1 billion | | | 0 | .75% |
|
Over $1 billion | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $837,127 to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MSIM”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursements (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.11% and Series II shares to 1.36% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursements to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund
Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class II shares to 1.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds. Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIM waived advisory fees of $85,279 and $4,286, respectively.

These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,316 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $92,914 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $282,480 to MSIM and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
Also, Invesco has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as the custodian, fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services.

The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (“MSDI”) based on the annual rate of 0.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. MSDI had voluntarily agreed to waive 0.10% distribution fee that it received from the Acquired Fund. MSDI was paid distribution fees of $279,036 after fee waivers of $111,434.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $649 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $4,408,363 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:

NOTE 7—Investment Securities

Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $282,804 and undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $282,804. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 11—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco V.I.

The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.

NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. International Growth Equity Fund, (formerly known as Universal Institutional Funds International Growth Equity Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

How we invest
We believe a growth investment strategy is an essential component of a diversified portfolio.
Our investment process combines fundamental and quantitative analysis to uncover companies exhibiting long-term, potentially sustainable revenue, earnings and cash flow growth that is not yet reflected by the stock’s market price.
Our quantitative model ranks companies based on a set of fundamental, valuation and timeliness factors. This quantitative model is designed to identify stocks with the highest probability of meeting our team’s investment criteria. Stocks that are ranked highest by our quantitative model are the focus of our fundamental research efforts.
Our fundamental analysis focuses on identifying companies and industries with strong drivers of growth. To accomplish this goal, we develop a fully integrated financial model to gain a more complete understanding of the financial health of each investment candidate. Additionally, our research involves due diligence of the company, which includes a detailed
analysis of the strategic plans of the company’s management team. We also analyze key competitors, customers and suppliers to assess the overall attractiveness and growth potential of the industry.
Risk management plays an important role in portfolio construction, as our target portfolio attempts to limit volatility and downside risk. We seek to accomplish this goal by investing in sectors, industries and companies with attractive fundamental prospects. We limit the Fund’s sector exposure and also seek to minimize stock-specific risk by building a diversified portfolio. (Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of a loss.)
We consider selling a stock for any of the following reasons:
n | | There is a change in fundamentals, market capitalization or deterioration in the timeliness profile. |
|
n | | The price target set at purchase has been reached. |
|
n | | The investment thesis is no longer valid. |
|
n | | Insider selling indicates potential issues. |
Market conditions and your Fund
The U.S. economy showed signs of improvement in 2010, potentially indicating that the economy had transitioned from a contraction phase into an expansionary phase. Nevertheless, the pace of recovery remained modest, and the transition from government stimulus-induced growth to private economic recovery was uncertain.
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) federal funds target rate remained low in a range of zero to 0.25%.1`Real gross domestic product (GDP) registered positive growth during the reporting period with annualized increases of 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.6% for the first, second and third quarters of 2010, respectively.2 Inflation, measured by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index, remained relatively benign. While labor markets improved as layoffs moderated, new hiring remained quite weak. Unemployment, after climbing steadily throughout 2009, fell slightly during 2010 to a rate of 9.4% nationwide as of December 2010.3
While stock market volatility increased signifycantly during the year, indexes measuring the performance of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks finished the period with positive, double-digit returns. In terms of investment style, growth stocks outperformed value stocks. The sectors with the highest returns in the Russell Midcap Growth Index included more economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrials, materials and information technology (IT). Conversely, the utilities sector was the only sector with a negative return during the period.
The Fund had double-digit absolute returns, and performed in line versus the Russell Midcap Growth Index during

the fiscal year. The Fund outperformed by the widest margin in the IT, utilities and energy sectors. Some of this outperformance was offset by underperformance in other sectors, including financials, consumer discretionary and materials.
The Fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index by the widest margin in the IT sector, driven by stock selection. The leading contributor to overall Fund performance was Chinese Internet search engine provider Baidu. We sold this holding. Other key contributors to Fund performance in this sector included Internet services provider Akamai Technologies and customer relationship software maker Salesforce.com.
Outperformance in the utilities sector was driven by an underweight position. The Fund had no exposure in the utilities sector during the year. This was a benefit to performance as the utilities sector was the weakest performing sector in the Russell Midcap Growth Index for the year.
The Fund also outperformed in the energy sector. Outperformance was due to both stock selection and an overweight position. Holdings that made solid contributions to performance included oil and gas exploration and production firms Concho Resources and Oasis Petroleum, as well as coal producer Alpha Natural Resources.
Some of this outperformance was offset by underperformance in other sectors. The Fund underperformed by the widest margin in the financials sector due to stock selection. Key detractors to performance included credit rating services provider Moody’s and insurance and investment services provider Genworth Financial. We sold Genworth Financial.
Underperformance in the consumer discretionary sector was also driven by stock selection. Within this sector, detractors from performance included online travel services provider Priceline.com as well as for-profit education services providers Capella Education and Strayer Education. While we continued to own Capella Education and Strayer Education, we sold Priceline.com due to deteriorating fundamentals.
Another area of weakness for the Fund was the materials sector, where the Fund’s holdings generally underperformed those of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Within this sector, holdings that detracted from performance included glass container manufacturer Owens-Illinois and water treatment chemical maker Nalco Holding.
During the year, the most significant changes to Fund positioning included an increase in the industrials and consumer staples sectors and a decrease in the consumer discretionary sector.
As we’ve discussed, the stock market experienced significant volatility during the year. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. As always, we recommend that you consult a financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program. We thank you for your commitment to Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $3,000 and $6,000 is the same size as the space between $6,000 and $12,000.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Medium-sized companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or few key people. The market movements of equity securities of medium-sized companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general. Historically, medium-sized companies have sometimes gone through extended periods when they did not perform as well as larger companies. In addition, equity securities of medium-sized companies generally are less liquid than larger companies. This means that the Fund could have greater difficulty selling such securities at the time and price that the Fund would like.
Investments in growth-oriented equity securities may have above-average volatility of price movement. The returns on growth securities may or may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock markets.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

The returns shown in management’s discussion of Fund performance are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to be made to the net assets of the Fund at period end for financial reporting purposes, and as such, the net asset values for shareholder transactions and the returns based on those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns reported in the Financial Highlights. Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Mid Cap Growth Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of Van Kampen Life Investment Trust. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class II shares received Series II shares of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class II shares prior to the Reorganization are included with Series II shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital growth.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund
| | |
| | between the last bid and 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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 |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Foreign Currency Translations — Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. |
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 | .75% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .70% |
|
Over $1 billion | | | 0 | .65% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $165,682 to Van Kampen Asset Management (“Van Kampen”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.01% and Series II shares to 1.26% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, Van Kampen had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class II shares of $26,591.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
For the period ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $42,323.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,317 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $100,680 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, under separate accounting services and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) employment agreements, Van Kampen Investments, Inc. (“VKII”) provided accounting services and the CCO provided compliance services to the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $4,050 to VKII.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian and fund accountant and provides certain administrative services to the Fund.
Prior to June 1, 2010, under a legal services agreement, VKII provided legal services to the Fund. Pursuant to such agreement, the Fund paid $10,056 to VKII.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $7,134 to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund had entered into master distribution agreements with Van Kampen Funds Inc. (“VKFI”) to serve as the distributor for the Class II shares. Pursuant to such agreements, the Acquired Fund paid $55,227 to VKFI. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $626 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund recognized expense of $526 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a director of the Acquired Fund was a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provided legal services as legal counsel to the Acquired Fund.
NOTE 5—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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 6—Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
There were no ordinary or long-term capital gain distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | $ | 14,037,850 | |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (1,308 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (1,976,558 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 67,413,700 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 79,473,684 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $2,009,408 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 593,897 | |
|
December 31, 2017 | | | 1,382,661 | |
|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 1,976,558 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

NOTE 7—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $81,447,049 and $58,453,870, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 14,786,715 | |

|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 14,037,850 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $67,408,167. |
NOTE 8—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency and convertible preferred stock transactions and net operating losses, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income (loss) was increased by $480,256, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was decreased by $50,711 and capital decreased by $429,545. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

(a) | | There are entities that are record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund and in the aggregate own 93% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund and the Fund’s principal underwriter or adviser, are parties to participation agreements with these entities whereby these entities sell units of interest in separate accounts funding variable products that are invested in the Fund. The Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates may make payments to these entities, which are considered to be related to the Fund, for providing services to the Fund, Invesco and/or Invesco affiliates including but not limited to services such as, securities brokerage, third party record keeping and account servicing and administrative services. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by these entities are also owned beneficially. In addition, less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are owned by Invesco or an investment advisor under common control. |
NOTE 10—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Growth Fund (formerly known as Van Kampen Life Investment Trust Mid Cap Growth Portfolio; one of the funds constituting AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund underperformed its index, the Russell Midcap Value Index. Stock selection in the energy and materials sectors, and underweight exposure to the utilities sector, contributed to Fund performance versus its benchmark. Alternatively, stock selection in the financials and health care sectors hampered Fund performance.
Your Fund’s long-term performance appears later in this report.

How we invest
We call our investment philosophy “value with a catalyst.” We believe that undervalued companies which are experiencing positive changes (i.e., “catalysts”) have the potential to generate long-term stock price growth for shareholders. We generally seek to identify companies that are out of favor with investors, underearning relative to their potential and attractively valued. For these companies, we attempt to identify catalysts that may improve the financial results and/or correct the undervaluation. Examples of catalysts typically include improved operational efficiency, changing industry dynamics and/or a change in management.
We initially identify potential investments through a series of quantitative screens including, but not limited to, return on capital and enterprise value to sales metrics. We then conduct fundamental research on the most attractive opportunities. The research process includes a thorough review of a company’s financial statements, an evaluation of its competitive position and
stability and meetings with its executives. During the research process, we also value the company under various scenarios to determine if the investment is an attractive opportunity relative to its risks. This is also where we typically identify the positive catalyst, a prerequisite for potential investment. Finally, we generally set a price target for a stock based on normalized earnings and historical valuation multiples.
In short, our objective is to exploit negative sentiment toward a company’s stock by analyzing the company’s operations in the context of a cyclical environment and identifying one or more catalysts that may improve the company’s financial performance. Improved financial performance, in turn, has the potential to drive the company’s stock price higher.
We typically sell an investment when it reaches our estimate of fair value or when we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive but often were overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, weak consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a “double-dip” recession. Uncertainty created by the debt crisis – combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data – added to concerns that the recovery was slowing. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news.
Major equity indexes produced positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
All sectors of the Fund posted positive performance for the year, as equity markets climbed throughout 2010. However, on a relative basis, the Fund underperformed its style-specific index, the Russell Midcap Value Index.
The energy sector was the largest contributor to relative performance versus the Fund’s benchmark. Although the Fund was underweight in the sector, stock

selection drove relative performance.
Smith International, an oil services company, made a significant contribution to Fund performance when it was acquired by Schlumberger (not a Fund holding).
Pioneer Natural Resources and El Paso also made positive contributions.
Materials stocks also aided the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund was overweight in this sector and stock selection helped drive returns. Cyclical stocks in the materials sector performed well as the economy showed signs of strengthening.
In the utilities sector, stock selection helped Fund performance. The Fund was underweight in this sector versus the Fund’s benchmark, and we avoided many of the deregulated utility companies which performed poorly.
The largest detractor from the Fund’s relative performance was the financials sector. In general, financial stocks performed strongly over the reporting period. However, the Fund was underweight in the financials sector relative to its benchmark, and our financial stocks did not appreciate as much as those of the index. In general, we focused on what we believed were lower risk financial companies with stronger balance sheets and less credit risk given the systemic risk in most financial stocks.
Overweight exposure to, and weak stock selection in, the health care sector detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark. This was particularly the case in the health care equipment and services industry. Beckman Coulter, a biomedical instrument manufacturer and distributor, disclosed a regulatory issue that affected its profitability and caused its stock price to fall. Brookdale Senior Living, an assisted living provider, had lower occupancy due to weak consumer spending in a weak economy, which hurt the company’s profitability.
Equity markets experienced a strong recovery during the period covered by this report. We believe that the market volatility that occurred during 2010 will continue to create opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations and strong fundamentals. We believe that ultimately those valuations and fundamentals may be reflected in those companies’ stock prices.
As always, we would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. We recommend that you consult your financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline. Investments in common stocks and other equity securities generally are affected by changes in the stock markets, which fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and sharply. Convertible securities have risks associated with both common stocks and debt securities. Investments in debt securities generally are affected by changes in interest rates and the credit-worthiness of the issuer. The prices of such securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, and such declines tend to be greater among securities with longer maturities. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying equity security.
Investing in securities of medium capitalization companies may involve greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more established companies. Often, medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving. Medium-sized companies often have less predictable earnings and more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources. The market movements of equity securities of medium-sized companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general.
The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced.
The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

Additionally, the returns and net asset values shown throughout this report are at the Fund level only and do not include variable product issuer charges. If such charges were included, the total returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), formerly AIM Variable Insurance Funds, (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds Mid Cap Value Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc.. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I and Class II shares received Series I and Series II shares of the Fund.
Information for the Acquired Fund’s — Class I and Class II shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I and Series II shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years by investing primarily in a portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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 |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 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. | | Securities Lending — The Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its sponsored agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments or affiliated money market funds and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, is included in Dividends from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown as a footnote on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. |
J. | | Call Options Written and Purchased — The Fund may write and/or buy call options. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. Options written by the Fund normally will have expiration dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to, or above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is written. |
| | When the Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written call option expires on the stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operation. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. |
| | When the Fund buys a call option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the investment is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current value of the option purchased. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased. |
K. | | Put Options Purchased — The Fund may purchase put options including options on securities indexes and/or futures contracts. By purchasing a put option, the Fund obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option’s underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the Fund pays an option premium. The option’s underlying instrument may be a security, securities index, or a futures contract. Put options may be used by the Fund to hedge securities it owns by locking in a minimum price at which the Fund can sell. If security prices fall, the put option could be exercised to offset all or a portion of the Fund’s resulting losses. At the same time, because the maximum the Fund has at risk is the cost of the option, purchasing put options does not eliminate the potential for the Fund to profit from an increase in the value of the securities hedged. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in the Statement of Operations. A risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased. |

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 $1 billion | | | 0 | .72% |
|
Over $1 billion | | | 0 | .65% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MS Investment Management”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 1.18% and Series II shares to 1.28% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary items or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or reimbursed expenses during the period under this limitation.
Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I and Class II shares to 1.05% and 1.15%, respectively of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MS Investment Management waived advisory fees of $9,215 and $5,341, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $45,220 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $427,809 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $302,433 to MS Investment Management and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $1,118 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund.
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid distribution fees to Morgan Stanley Distribution Inc. (MSDI) based on the annual rate of 0.35% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets of Class II shares. MSDI had voluntarily agreed to waive 0.25% distribution fee that it received. MSDI was paid distribution fees of $53,410, after fee waivers of $133,477.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.

NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuance to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $622,350 and securities sales of $404,584, which resulted in net realized gains of $72,390.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the period ended June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $780 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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.

| | | | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 |
|
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,585,879 | | | $ | 2,990,505 | |
|
Tax Components of Net Assets at Period-End:
| | | | |
| | 2010 |
|
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 1,958,286 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation — investments | | | 37,877,280 | |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) — other investments | | | (24,255 | ) |
|
Temporary book/tax differences | | | (2,581 | ) |
|
Capital loss carryforward | | | (53,219,679 | ) |
|
Shares of beneficial interest | | | 327,867,413 | |
|
Total net assets | | $ | 314,456,464 | |
|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $16,557,673 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:
| | | | |
| | Capital Loss
|
Expiration | | Carryforward* |
|
December 31, 2016 | | $ | 18,692,646 | |
|

|
Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 53,219,679 | |
|
| |
* | Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code. |

NOTE 9—Investment Securities
The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $109,734,251 and $139,568,356, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed Federal income tax reporting period-end.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis |
|
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 43,193,629 | |
|
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities | | | (5,316,349 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | | $ | 37,877,280 | |
|
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $277,324,649. |
NOTE 10—Reclassification of Permanent Differences
Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of prior provision adjustment, on December 31, 2010, undistributed net investment income was decreased by $39,309, undistributed net realized gain was increased by $24,122 and shares of beneficial interest increased by $15,187. This reclassification had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

NOTE 13—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund (formerly known as Universal Institutional Funds Mid Cap Value Portfolio; one of the funds constituting Invesco Variable Insurance Funds (formerly known as AIM Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Mid Cap Value Fund
Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Performance summary
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2010, Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund performed in line with its style-specific index, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Fund’s performance was helped by stock selection and an overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector. Alternatively, stock selection in the information technology (IT) sector detracted the most from the Fund’s performance versus the index.

How we invest
We seek to exploit market inefficiencies by investing in companies that appear undervalued relative to the overall market. Ultimately, we believe that the market will recognize the value in these companies and will sell them as their stock price begins to reflect their intrinsic value. We feel that stock picking, as compared to making sector bets, provides a more consistent path to potential success. In addition, we may be able to take advantage of pricing anomalies by purchasing undervalued stocks before a recognizable catalyst arises.
The Fund’s primary investable universe includes all U.S. denominated equities. In order to distill the investment universe, we filter for companies with sufficient liquidity. We filter the remaining securities on valuation metrics depending upon the growth or cyclical nature of their business. The result of this filtering process is a pool of securities that we believe are statistically inexpensive relative to the broader market. Companies identified in the ifltering process are thoroughly
analyzed to assess intrinsic value and their ability to achieve fair value.
We will purchase a security only if we believe the potential for stock price appreciation outweighs potential downside risk. To be eligible for inclusion in the Fund, a stock must meet the following criteria:
n | | The security is statistically cheap on the basis of its primary valuation criteria, which depends on the cyclical or growth nature of its business. |
|
n | | Rigorous fundamental analysis shows that the company is undervalued and possesses potential financial strength and improved quality of management for future growth. |
We maintain an intense focus on the quality of a company’s accounting and on financial statement analysis. Portfolio construction is bottom-up and stock specific, concentrating on individual company fundamental analysis and valuations. Therefore, while we monitor and are aware of our positions relative to the benchmark, it does not play a major role in the construction of the Fund.
We look to manage risk through portfolio construction, chiefly diversification across most major sectors, and through the assistance of an independent quantitative risk control group. Risk management is continual. The Fund is regularly reviewed to ensure it is optimally constructed on a risk/reward basis We have the final say on construction of the Fund and a collegial relationship exists between the risk management team and the Fund teams.
Our sell discipline is just as important as the buy decision and is based on the same principles: relative value and fundamentals. While no sale is automatic, a security is typically sold if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
n | | We believe the target price has been realized, and we no longer consider the company undervalued. |
|
n | | We determine that a better value opportunity can be found elsewhere. |
|
n | | Our research shows that a company is experiencing deteriorating fundamentals beyond what we feel to be a tolerable level, and the trend is likely to be a long-term issue. |
Market conditions and your Fund
Equity markets were choppy during the fiscal year as investors weighed the competing issues of solid corporate profits and soft macroeconomic data. Corporate earnings were largely positive but often were overshadowed by concerns about high unemployment, weak consumer spending, soft housing data and the possibility of additional U.S. Federal Reserve accommodation. After rising through April, major equity indexes sold off precipitously in May as the sovereign debt crisis unfolded in the eurozone while U.S. economic indicators remained weak, prompting fears of a “double-dip” recession.

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund
created by the debt crisis – combined with subdued employment, consumer spending and housing data – added to concerns that the recovery was slowing. Just as abruptly, however, the markets reversed course starting in September and rallied through the end of the year on modestly better economic news.
Major equity indexes produced positive returns for the fiscal year, and all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 Index posted gains. More economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary and industrials had the highest returns, while less economically sensitive sectors such as health care had some of the lowest returns.
In this environment, the Fund performed in line with its style-specific benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The Fund’s consumer discretionary exposure acted as the largest contributor to relative and absolute returns. The Fund’s notable overweight position in this sector, combined with strong stock selection, contributed to Fund performance. Specifically, the Fund’s holdings in media companies Comcast and Viacom made significant contributions to results as both stocks posted strong double-digit returns for the year.
Financials acted as another primary driver of relative performance when measured against the Russell 1000 Value Index. Specifically, the Fund’s material overweight exposure to the property and casualty insurance industry enhanced Fund returns. Chubb, a property and casualty insurance company, was one of the Fund’s largest holdings for much of 2010. The company’s strong performance was due to its strong balance sheet and the company’s well-diversified, conservative underwriting policies. Chubb has done an admirable job of returning cash to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, while operating in a difficult pricing environment.
The IT sector was the largest detractor from relative performance. Among technology stocks, the Fund’s overweight exposure to the sector, combined with unfavorable stock selection among hardware and select Internet-related companies, dampened Fund returns. More specifically, the unexpected departure of the chief executive officer of Fund holding Hewlett Packard temporarily weighed heavily on the company’s shares. Shares of Yahoo!, a relatively new addition to the portfolio, were weak as investors questioned the rate and sustainability of the recovery in advertising and the economic environment in general.
Stock selection in materials and a small overweight position in the health care sector also detracted from our results relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index.
Toward the end of the reporting period, we paired down our exposure to select insurance and media names, using the proceeds to opportunistically increase the Fund’s exposure to energy and industrial companies.
We believe that market volatility, and the market correction that occurred during the second quarter of 2010, created opportunities to invest in companies with attractive valuations. Our contrarian philosophy and deep value approach of buying extremely undervalued companies may capitalize on market volatility and down markets as value is created for new investment opportunities.
Equity markets experienced a strong recovery during the period covered by this report. We would like to caution investors against making investment decisions based on short-term performance. We recommend that you consult your financial adviser to discuss your individual financial program.

Past performance cannot guarantee comparable future results.
This chart, which is a logarithmic chart, presents the fluctuations in the value of the Fund and its indexes. We believe that a logarithmic chart is more effective than other types of charts in illustrating
changes in value during the early years shown in the chart. The vertical axis, the one that indicates the dollar value of an investment, is constructed with each segment representing a percent change in the value of the investment. In this chart, each segment represents a doubling, or
100% change, in the value of the investment. In other words, the space between $5,000 and $10,000 is the same size as the space between $10,000 and $20,000, and so on.

Principal risks of investing in the Fund
In general, stock and other equity security values fluctuate, and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to activities specific to the company as well as general market, economic and political conditions. Investments in convertible securities subject the Fund to the risks associated with both fixed income securities, including credit risk and interest rate risk, and common stocks.
The Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic and market risks. There also may be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, higher transaction and custody costs, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation associated with investments in foreign markets.
All fixed income securities are subject to two types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed income securities go up.
With respect to U.S. government securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law.
Investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) makes a fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a series portfolio of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company consisting of forty-one separate portfolios, (each constituting a “Fund”). The assets, liabilities and operations of each portfolio are accounted for separately. Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the Fund. Matters affecting each Fund or class will be voted on exclusively by the shareholders of such Fund or class. Current Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, however, requires participating insurance companies offering separate accounts to vote shares proportionally in accordance with the instructions of the contract owners whose investments are funded by shares of each Fund or class.
Prior to June 1, 2010, the Fund operated as Universal Institutional Funds Value Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”), an investment portfolio of The Universal Institutional Funds, Inc. The Acquired Fund was reorganized on June 1, 2010 (the “Reorganization Date”) through the transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to the Fund (the “Reorganization”).
Upon closing of the Reorganization, holders of the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares received Series I shares of the Fund. Information for the Acquired Fund’s Class I shares prior to the Reorganization is included with Series I shares of the Fund throughout this report.
The Fund’s investment objective is above-average total return over a market cycle of three to five years by investing primarily in a portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities.
The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, Series I and Series II, both of which are offered to insurance company separate accounts funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“variable products”).
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
| | |
A. | | Security Valuations — Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policy. |
| | A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and 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”). |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund
| | |
| | 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. |
| | Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 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 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 economical 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 are 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 settlement date. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held. |
| | Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from 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 income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses to a class based on the relative net assets of each class. |
C. | | Country Determination — For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted. |
D. | | Distributions — Distributions from income and net realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid to separate accounts of participating insurance companies annually and recorded on ex-dividend date. |
E. | | Federal Income Taxes — The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of 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. |
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund
| | |
| | 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. | | Expenses — Fees provided for under the Rule 12b-1 plan of a particular class of the Fund and which are directly attributable to that class are charged to the operations of such class. All other expenses are allocated among the classes based on relative net assets. |
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 performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts, including the Fund’s servicing agreements that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such indemnification claims is considered remote. |
NOTE 2—Advisory Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Invesco”). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Fund 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 | .55% |
|
Next $500 million | | | 0 | .50% |
|
Over $1 billion | | | 0 | .45% |
|
Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an advisory fee of $54,279 to Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (“MSIM”) based on the annual rates above of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Under the terms of a master sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco Trimark 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 discretionary investment management services to the Fund based on the percentage of assets allocated to such Sub-Adviser(s).
Effective on the Reorganization date, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of all shares to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below) of Series I shares to 0.86% and Series II shares to 1.11% of average daily net assets. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement to exceed the numbers reflected above: (1) interest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and (5) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless the Board of the Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2012.
Prior to the Reorganization, MS Investment Management had voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of Class I shares to 0.85% of the Acquired Fund’s average daily net assets.
Further, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least June 30, 2011, 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 (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending) in such affiliated money market funds.
Prior to the Reorganization, investment advisory fees paid by the Acquired Fund were reduced by an amount equal to the advisory and administrative service fees paid by Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio — Institutional Class shares.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Adviser and MSIM waived advisory fees of $45,201 and $26,966, respectively.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay Invesco a fee for costs incurred in providing accounting services and fund administrative services to the Fund and to reimburse Invesco for administrative services fees paid to insurance companies that have agreed to provide services to the participants of separate accounts. These administrative services provided by the insurance companies may include, among other things: the printing of prospectuses, financial reports and proxy statements and the delivery of the same to existing participants; the maintenance of master accounts; the facilitation of purchases and redemptions requested by the participants; and the servicing of participants’ accounts. Pursuant to such agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2010, Invesco was paid $29,315 for accounting and fund administrative services and reimbursed $33,256 for services provided by insurance companies. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid an administration fee of $24,453 to MSIM and JPMorgan Investor Services Co.
Also, the Trust has entered into service agreements whereby State Street Bank & Trust Company (“SSB”) serves as custodian, fund accountant and provide certain administrative services to the Fund.
The Trust has entered into a transfer agency and service agreement with Invesco Investment Services, Inc. (“IIS”) pursuant to which the Fund has agreed to pay IIS a fee for providing transfer agency and shareholder services to the Fund and reimburse IIS for certain expenses incurred by IIS in the course of providing such services. Prior to the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund paid $96 to Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., which served as the Acquired Fund’s
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund
transfer agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under these agreements are shown in the Statement of Operations as transfer agent fees.
The Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement with IDI to serve as the distributor for the Fund. The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Fund’s Series II shares (the “Plan”). The Fund, pursuant to the Plan, pays IDI compensation at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of Series II shares. Of the Plan payments, up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Series II shares may be paid to insurance companies who furnish continuing personal shareholder services to customers who purchase and own Series II shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2010, expenses incurred under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations as distribution fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of Invesco, IIS and/or IDI.
NOTE 3—Additional Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets. |
| Level 2 — | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others. |
| Level 3 — | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information. |
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of December 31, 2010. 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4—Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds
The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other Invesco Funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund engaged in securities purchases of $16,660 and securities sales of $109,973, which resulted in net realized gains of $36,612.
NOTE 5—Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits
“Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Trustees have the option to defer compensation payable by the Fund, and “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” also include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such deferred compensation amounts. Those Trustees who defer compensation have the option to select various Invesco Funds in which their deferral accounts shall be deemed to be invested. Finally, certain current Trustees are eligible to participate in a retirement plan that provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement to Trustees over a period of time based on the number of years of service. The Fund may have certain former Trustees who also participate in a retirement plan and receive benefits under such plan. “Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees and Benefits” include amounts accrued by the Fund to fund such retirement benefits. Obligations under the deferred compensation and retirement plans represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund paid legal fees of $595 for services rendered by Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP as counsel to the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of the Trust.
NOTE 6—Cash Balances
The Fund is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with SSB, the custodian bank. 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.

|
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.
The temporary book/tax differences are a result of timing differences between book and tax recognition of income and/or expenses. The Fund’s temporary book/tax differences are the result of the trustee deferral of compensation and retirement plan benefits.
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 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 utilized $544,166 of capital loss carryforward in the current period to offset net realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2010 which expires as follows:

Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund
NOTE 11—Significant Event
The Board of Trustees unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Fund would transfer all of its assets and liabilities to Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Comstock Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Agreement requires approval of the Fund’s shareholders and will be submitted to the shareholders for their consideration at a meeting to be held in or around April 2011.
NOTE 12—Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
In connection with the Reorganization of the Fund, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund for the fiscal year following May 31, 2010. The predecessor fund’s financial statements were audited by a different independent registered public accounting firm (the “Prior Auditor”). Concurrent with the closing of the Reorganization, the Prior Auditor resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the predecessor fund. The Prior Auditor’s report on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Prior Auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to that matter in connection with its report.
Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds)
and Shareholders of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Invesco Van Kampen V.I. Value Fund (formerly known as Universal Institutional Funds Value Portfolio; one of the funds constituting Invesco Variable Insurance Funds (formerly known as AIM Variable Insurance Funds), hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights of the Fund for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and prior were audited by other independent auditors whose report dated February 19, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Calculating your ongoing Fund expenses
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
The actual and hypothetical expenses in the examples below do not represent the effect of any fees or other expenses assessed in connection with a variable product; if they did, the expenses shown would be higher while the ending account values shown would be lower.
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. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 | The actual ending account value is based on the actual total return of the Fund for the period July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, 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. |

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
As adopted by the Audit Committees of
the Invesco Funds (the “Funds”)
Last Amended May 4, 2010
Statement of Principles
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (“Rules”), the Audit Committees of the Funds’ (the “Audit Committees”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”) are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an “Auditor”). As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committees pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds’ investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds (“Service Affiliates”) if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting. The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client. The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations.
Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committees (“general pre-approval”) or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees (“specific pre-approval”). As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committees. Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor’s independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services.
The Audit Committees will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee generally on an annual basis. The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through September 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committees consider a different period and state otherwise. The Audit Committees will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committees in fulfilling their responsibilities.
Delegation
The Audit Committees may from time to time delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are Independent Trustees. All decisions to pre-approve a service by a delegated member shall be reported to the Audit Committees at the next quarterly meeting.
Audit Services
The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements. The Audit Committees will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committees may grant either general or specific pre-approval of other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the
inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.
Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committees may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committees believe that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC’s Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committees’ general principles and policies as set forth herein.
Audit-Related Services
“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; and agreed-upon procedures related to mergers, compliance with ratings agency requirements and interfund lending activities.
Tax Services
“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations. The Audit Committees will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committees will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.
No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.
Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committees’ pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall:
| 1. | | Describe in writing to the Audit Committees, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter: |
| a. | | The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and |
|
| b. | | Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service; |
| 2. | | Discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and |
|
| 3. | | Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committees. |
All Other Auditor Services
The Audit Committees may pre-approve non-audit services classified as “All other services” that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.
Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts
Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committees. Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committees at the quarterly Audit Committees meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committees before payment is made. The Audit Committees will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.
Procedures
Generally on an annual basis, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”) will submit to the Audit Committees for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor. The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request.
Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees will be submitted to the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committees. The Audit Committees will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committees meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means.
Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committees shall be submitted to the Audit Committees jointly by the Fund’s Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.
Each request to provide tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committees will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service. The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committees the potential effects of the services on the Auditor’s independence and will document the substance of the discussion.
Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committees for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.
On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.
The Audit Committees have designated the Funds’ Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures. The Funds’ Treasurer will report to the Audit Committees on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring. Both the Funds’ Treasurer and management of Invesco will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committees any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or senior management of Invesco.
